Carry You
Kaye Lyrics

Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
The current situation is temporary and will eventually come to an end.

Once it goes
The situation will change and things won't remain the same anymore.

You won't ever be the same
Change will bring about a permanent impact that will alter one's state of being.

I got wings to waste the hours
I have the free time and willingness to lend support and be there for you.

And you know I'll carry you the whole way
I promise to remain by your side and provide unconditional support through thick and thin.

So they left you in their wake
You were left behind after someone else's success or achievement without much regard or care.

Blood spilled, your jewels upon a pavement
Your personal belongings and valuables were carelessly dropped on the ground along with your own spilled blood, showcasing the lack of respect for you.

Trampled your tresses
Your hair was trampled on and damaged, which serves as a metaphor for how your confidence and self-worth were also trampled on.

And the mess that you became
The aftermath of the traumatic event left you feeling messy and disheveled, both physically and mentally.

Sure thought you were all right
Initially, things seemed okay even when it was not.

When the winter turned your river to thin ice
Metaphorically, when things got harder and the waters became dangerous and treacherous.

And you've been lonely
Your current situation led to isolation and feelings of solitude.

I can see it
I am aware of your struggles and empathize with what you're going through.

Sunken in your eyes
Your lack of energy and sadness are reflected in your eyes, which have lost their usual sparkle.

And you just keep it inside, keep it inside
You have been bottling up your emotions and hiding your pain from others.

Until you feel the land mines
Refers to the sudden implosion of emotions resulting from internalizing so much pain and trauma.

Erupting under you
Emotions and pain are erupting uncontrollably due to the build-up within.

Between each noon and midnight
Emotions and pain can trouble you any time of the day and are not limited to daytime or nighttime only.

But it's just the view
Though it may seem overwhelming, emotions and pain are just passing and not your reality forever.

You'd almost made up your mind
At one point, you nearly succumbed to the pain and gave up.

In that room where every shadow had a sharp side
A dark and terrifying place where one's every fear and insecurity seem to have taken form.

No doors or windows
A space that leaves one feeling trapped and helpless with no source of escape.

Almost thought you wouldn't make it through the night
There was a fear that you wouldn't be able to survive the emotional turmoil.

When you were younger
In a younger and more naive state of mind where one was told to never express emotions fully.

Everyone said you should
It was a common belief to hide emotions, especially sadness and anxiety.

Be your own shoulder
In times of trouble, one should rely on oneself for strength and support.

Better to bet you're stronger
It is assumed that hiding emotions makes you stronger whereas expressing emotions make you look weak

Oh, but when your river's running to red
When one's life is filled with turmoil and emotions are at their peak.

In case you're alone or forget
If you ever feel lost or unsupported, I will be there to help you through.

I'll brave the waters
I will face the turbulent times and turmoil with you.

Carry you the whole way
Promising to stay by your side through difficult times and provide unquestionable support.
