Weightless
Erika Janunger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can' put my thoughts back on the ground
I panic when i dive by daybreak
Wondering was this just a big mistake
Wondering was this just a big mistake
We got no istem in return
Could grow old but never learn
Make me tired by getting old
So hold on tight cause this might hurt
We lost ground and that might break you're heart
Every time you look my way i fall
To the blue that pins me to this wall
You know me by my daylight face
Sweet perfume a warm embrace
But if you could see the other person
Uncontrolled and scary aversion
I try so hard to keep the grip
Hold my tongue i bite my lip
Because you mean so much to me
You are still just scared to see
So hold on tight i know it hurts
We lost ground and that broke both our hearts
Every time you look my way i fall
Into the blue that pins me to this wall
As they seem to be weightless
Every time they seem weightless
Seems to be weightless
The lyrics of Erika Janunger's song "Weightless" describe the complex emotions that come with being in a relationship where one's feelings are not reciprocated. The singer reveals that she gets no sleep when the person is around, suggesting that they occupy her thoughts constantly. She is so consumed with the relationship that her thoughts are unable to find their place and ground themselves. Even when she is not with the person, she is filled with panic and doubts that this relationship may have been a big mistake.
Through the lyrics, the singer also expresses the feeling of being stuck in a one-sided relationship, where she invests in emotionally into someone who never reciprocates her feelings. The phrase "could grow old but never learn" encapsulates the pain and frustration the singer feels in this situation; they are unable to learn and have better relationships because they keep finding themselves in this same cycle. The lyrics "We lost ground and that might break your heart," highlights the delicate nature of the relationship and suggests that there is something not right about the relationship.
Despite being scared of how the other person would receive her true emotions and feelings, the singer tries hard to keep her composure and remain calm. The lines "I try so hard to keep the grip/Hold my tongue, I bite my lip/Because you mean so much to me/You are still just scared to see," underline the difficulty in the situation and the desire to maintain the relationship despite its challenges.

Thank you so much for telling me this! I have been making so much music but not putting anything out there yet. My plan is for that to change now.
