Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eleven Minutes Away's song "This Is Only An Emergency" depict a sense of impending doom and hopelessness that comes with a major change or crisis that was unexpected. The singer acknowledges that there is no turning back from the situation and that their failure is now certain. However, their focus is on comforting their loved one (who may be afraid) during the crash landing, and expresses regret for not being able to make amends earlier. They make a promise to hold their hand and keep them safe through the turmoil, even if it means falling together into unknown doom. The singer asks their partner not to let go during the fall and that everything will be okay.


The lines "accept this failure it will bring you down" suggest that the singer is accepting of their fate, and urges their partner to also accept that this failure will bring them down. The repetition of "it's so bright, I can't look back" may suggest that the singer is blinded by the oncoming danger or that they refuse to look back on what they have lost. The song ends with the singer expressing how much they will miss their loved one, knowing that it is too late for reconciliation.
