Powerless
Mat Kearney Lyrics

Flashing floods, stuck in the mud
Being overwhelmed by sudden and intense emotions, feeling trapped and unable to move forward.

I was off the grid in all the ruts
Feeling disconnected and out of touch, stuck in a pattern of negative thoughts and behavior.

Still felt so close from far away
Despite the physical distance, the emotional connection remains strong.

Sun went down, lights went out
The end of a bright and hopeful phase, entering a period of darkness and uncertainty.

We built a fire, so strong now
Finding strength and warmth in the midst of difficult circumstances, the bond between two people grows stronger.

And there's no words for what I want to say
Unable to fully express feelings and emotions in words, as they transcend language.

Lay me down here to sleep
Asking for rest and peace, surrendering to the feeling of defeat.

To the sound of defeat
Finding solace in accepting failure and acknowledging that sometimes things don't work out.

When it comes to us we're powerless
Recognizing that in the context of the relationship, there is a lack of control or influence.

Powerless
Emphasizing the theme of powerlessness and surrender.

Violent wind, blew down the door
A disruptive force that destroys the entrance, representing unexpected challenges or upheavals.

Did me in and I prayed for more
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation but still wishing for a greater capacity to endure.

All the damage done and I don't wanna change
Acknowledging the consequences of past actions or events, yet resisting the desire or need for personal transformation.

No way
Refusing to accept certain outcomes or possibilities.

Find a way to let it go"
