Weight
Mikal Cronin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not ready for another day
I feel, I feel renewed
Time is right, I'm only getting older
I'm not ready for the second wave
The way you've seen it through
Don't be bolder, golden life of mine
Sing for love, full force in my life
Tie the money hold on for a long time
There's an answer for another man
I'm yet to find the way
Wasting years or waiting for a savior
I'm not made up for the simple path
Don't take it day by day
Don't be bolder, golden life of mine
Sing for love, full force in my life
I'm not ready for the boulder
I'm not ready for the dry cut jeans
I'm not ready for the sirens
I'm not ready for the fear and shame
I'm not ready for the waking
Take me from myself
From myself
Holding on to something I don't know
I've been starting over for a long time
I'm not ready for the second wave
The way you've seen me cry.
The lyrics of Mikal Cronin's "Weight" depict the artist's struggle with starting over repeatedly and the fear of facing another day. The opening lines, "I've been starting over for a long time, I'm not ready for another day," establish a sense of exhaustion and unwillingness to face further challenges. Yet, despite this fatigue, he feels a sense of renewal and that the time is right to continue moving forward while acknowledging the fear of growing older and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The line "I'm not made up for the simple path, don't take it day by day" suggests that Cronin recognizes that the road ahead may not be easy and requires conscious effort to navigate.
The imagery surrounding "golden life" implies that there is a sense of preciousness to maintaining certain aspects of life, such as love and passion, even in the face of adversity. Cronin is determined to hold onto these valuable moments and not let the fear of change or uncertainty deprive him of that joy. Additionally, the lines "I'm not ready for the waking, take me from myself" suggest that the artist may be struggling with a personal battle, perhaps related to anxiety or depression. He is calling out for help and wishes to be relieved of the burden that he has been carrying.

I can't cope with the negative emotions
I'm not ready for the waking
I can't deal with the harsh reality
Take me from myself
Rescue me from my own self-destructive behavior
From myself
From my own negative mindset
Holding on to something I don't know
Having faith in the unknown
The way you've seen me cry.
You witnessed me break down emotionally

Correct lyrics:
I've been starting over for a long time
I'm not ready for another day
I fail at feeling new
The time is right, I'm only getting older
I'm not ready for the second wave
The weight of seeing through
No, be bolder, golden light for miles
sing for love in colder portions of my mind
I'm not ready for the weight again
Tie a line and hold on for a long time
There's an answer for another man
I’ve yet to find a way
Wasted years or waiting for a savior
I’m not made out for the simple path
I'll take it day to day
No, be bolder, golden light for miles
Sing for love in colder portions of my mind
I’m not ready for the moment
I’m not ready for the tide to change
I’m not ready for the silence
I’m not ready for the fear and shame
I’m not ready for the weight again
Take me from myself
Holding on for something I don't know
I've been starting over for a long time
I'm not ready for the second wave
the weight of seeing through

I cried way too many times over this song
I’ve been starting over for a long time
I’m not ready for another day I fail at feeling new
The time is right, I’m only getting older
I’m not ready for the second wave, the weight of seeing through
No, be bolder, golden light for miles
Sing for love in colder portions of my mind
I’m not ready for the weight again
Tie a line and hold on for a long time
There’s an answer for another man, I’ve yet to find a way
Wasted years or waiting for a savior
I’m not made out for the simple path, I’ll take it day to day
No, be bolder, golden light for miles
Sing for love in colder portions of my mind
I’m not ready for the moment
I’m not ready for the tide to change
I’m not ready for the silence
I’m not ready for the fear and shame
I’m not ready for the weight again
Take me from myself
Holding on for something, I don’t know
I’ve been starting over for a long time
I’m not ready for the second wave, the weight of seeing through
