Grounded
Full Frequency Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blind me, and don't look back
Trap me, no punishment
Cut me, and wish the best
Scrape me, and worry not
For what you do

Leave me, and move right on
Drown me, and live your life

Burn me, and break the rules
Strip me, and wash away
The sin inside

I'm living everything that I despise
And I cannot get away

I feel it coming
I feel it coming over me
I feel it moving
I feel it moving into me

Push me, with no regret
Drain me, and wonder why
Fuck me, and earn success
Ground me, and touch the sky
For what it's worth

You're taking everything that I desire
And I somehow can't regain

Overall Meaning

my control

The lyrics of Full Frequency's song "Grounded" are full of powerful emotions and conflicting desires. The singer of the song is feeling trapped and powerless, as somebody they love and trust is taking advantage of them and using them for their own gain. At the same time, they feel a strange attraction to this person and cannot bring themselves to break away from them.

The repeated phrases "blind me, trap me, cut me, scrape me" and so on suggests a feeling of being hurt and abused by this person, but also of being willing to put up with it in exchange for their attention and affection. Meanwhile, the chorus ("I feel it coming, I feel it moving") hints at a sense of impending doom or reckoning that the singer knows is coming, but cannot avoid or escape.

In the second verse, the lyrics take a darker turn as the singer acknowledges their own complicity in the situation. They are aware that they are living in a way that goes against their own values and beliefs, but they cannot break free from the hold that this other person has over them. The final lines of the song ("you're taking everything that I desire and I somehow can't regain my control") capture the sense of frustrated helplessness that pervades the whole song.

Overall, "Grounded" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that deals with themes of abuse, addiction, and the conflicting desires of the human heart.
