Swallowed
Bush / Bush Lyrics

Warm sun feed me up
The warmth of the sun is nurturing and comforting, and I am taking it in eagerly.

I'm leery loaded up
I am somewhat cautious and suspicious, but I am also feeling intoxicated and high.

Loathing for a change
I am feeling disgusted and dissatisfied with the way things are and crave something different.

And I slip some
I give into my desires and indulge in something that may not be good for me.

Boil away
I want to be rid of my troubles and anxieties, which are boiling inside of me.

Swallowed followed
I feel like I have been consumed by something and am being led by it, unable to escape.

Heavy about everything but my love
I am carrying a heavy burden of emotions and concerns, but my love for someone is the only thing that keeps me going.

Swallowed sorrowed
I am overwhelmed by sadness and grief, unable to escape their grip.

I'm with everyone and yet not
I am present with others, but feel disconnected and isolated from them.

Just wanted to be myself
All I truly desire is to be true to myself and not conform to others' expectations or desires.

Hey you said you would love to try some
You offered or suggested something to me, and I am considering whether or not to accept it.

Hey you said you would love to die some
You offered or suggested something to me that is dangerous or reckless, and I am considering whether or not to take the risk.

In the middle of a world on a fishhook
I feel like I am trapped and controlled by something larger than myself, like a fish caught on a hook.

You're the wave
You are a powerful force in my life, like a wave that I cannot resist or control.

Swallowed borrowed
I feel like something has taken over me and I am no longer in control of my own actions or decisions.

Heavy about everything but my love
I am weighed down by many problems and concerns, but my love for someone is a bright spot in my life.

Swallowed hollowed
I feel empty and lifeless, like something has sucked all the vitality out of me.

Sharp about everyone but yourself
I am critical and judgmental of others, but do not apply the same scrutiny to myself.

Swallowed oh no
I realize that I am in a bad situation and am feeling trapped and helpless.

I'm with everyone and yet not
I am present with others, but feel separate from them, unable to truly connect.

I'm with everyone and yet not
I am around many people, but feel alone and unable to relate to them.

I'm with everyone and you're not
I am present with others, but the one I truly desire to be with is not there.

Piss on self-esteem
I am rejecting the idea of valuing myself and my own worth, and am feeling negative about myself.

Forward busted knee
I am moving forward and taking risks, despite the possibility of getting hurt or injured.

Sick head
I am feeling ill, both physically and mentally.

Blackened lungs
I am damaging myself and my health through my actions and choices.

And I'm a simple selfish son
I acknowledge that I am caring only about myself and not considering others in my decisions.

Got to get away from here
I feel a strong need to escape my current situation and surroundings for my own well-being.

I miss the one that I love a lot
I am craving the presence and affection of someone I care deeply for.

I love
I am expressing my deep emotions of love and longing, which are the driving force behind my actions and decisions.
