Heavy
Linken Park feat Kiiara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Linkin Park's song "Heavy" featuring Kiiara is a powerful expression of the struggles of battling with one's own mind.

The opening lines express this feeling of mental overload, as the singer wishes they could slow down and let go of their worries, yet feels trapped by their own mind.
The lyrics explore the theme of self-doubt and anxiety, as the singer questions why everything feels so heavy and wants to be set free from the burden. The lines "Holding on, So much more than I can carry, I keep dragging around what's bringing me down" emphasize how the singer is struggling to cope with the stress and pressure they feel. They feel like they are suffocating under the weight of their problems, and it is preventing them from being able to move forward in life.
The lyrics "I know I'm not the center of the universe, But you keep spinning 'round me just the same" suggest that the singer feels they are not important, but others' actions still affect them. This line also highlights the idea that self-doubt and anxiety are not logical, and other people's actions, whether intended or not, can trigger negative emotions.
Overall, the song "Heavy" is an emotional and honest portrayal of the weight of mental struggles and how it can affect one's ability to function. It is a reminder that it is okay to be vulnerable, and to seek help when needed.

It's a real punch in the gut knowing the person that helped you not to commit suicide commited suicide.

I felt that so fucking hard!.. My bestfriend killed herself this past June... 11 days after my 15th birthday...

That's the worst part about depression, you know that everything is okay. But your brain won't let you be happy, it's the self awareness that makes it so bad.
