October In May
Diving With Andy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have my heart in my mouth, and
I have my hand in my pocket, and
I'm playing with what left of this
You're here, you're here and I don't care
You're here, you're here and I
You're here, you're and I
Today 's Sunday it's
I have my stomach in my feet, and
I have my eyes in my hand, so
I'm playing with what left of this
You're here, you here and I don't care
You're here, you're here and I
You're here, you're here and I
The lyrics to Diving With Andy's song October In May are open to interpretation as they are somewhat abstract and lack specific context. The use of sensory language such as 'heart in my mouth', 'hand in my pocket', 'stomach in my feet' and 'eyes in my hand' suggest a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty. The line 'I'm playing with what left of this' could be interpreted as a sense of desperation and trying to make the best of a difficult situation.
The repetition of 'You're here, you're here and I don't care' suggests conflicting emotions. The presence of the person being addressed doesn't seem to fully alleviate the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, yet the singer is trying to convince themselves that their presence is enough. The repetition of this line could also suggest a sense of denial or repression of true emotions.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil and the struggle to deal with difficult emotions. It's a song that captures that feeling of being tethered to a moment in time, unable to move on from the situation at hand.

Today's Sunday it's
It is currently Sunday
I have my heart in my mouth, and
I am nervous and anxious
I have my hand in my pocket, and
I am fidgeting nervously
I'm playing with what left of this
I am distracted and restless
You're here, you're here and I don't care
Your presence is soothing enough to ease my nerves
You're here, you're here and I
You being here is comforting
You're here, you're and I
You being here is all I need
I have my stomach in my feet, and
I am extremely nervous
I have my eyes in my hand, so
I am looking away and avoiding eye contact
I'm playing with what left of this
I am still restless and looking for distractions
You're here, you here and I don't care
Your presence is enough to overshadow any other worries
You're here, you're here and I
Your presence is a source of comfort
You're here, you're here and I
Your presence makes everything else bearable
