Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Embrace
Stuck in a cold and dark
Embrace
Embrace, embrace, embrace
Oh, embrace
It lies dormant inside
Won't come out of hiding
Since my childhood died
Since my childhood died
I've just been surviving
Surviving, surviving
No, I'm not alright
No, I'm not alright
On a black cloud I'm riding
I'm riding, I'm riding
Stuck in a cold and dark
Embrace
Stuck in a cold and dark
Embrace
Embrace, embrace, embrace
Oh, embrace
When you touch me there
When you touch me there
Won't let myself feel nothing
Nothin, nothin
I sink into the ground
Sink into the ground
So it's weight can't crush me
Can't crush me, can't crush me
There's nothing to divide
Nothing to divide
The pain and pleasure ain't fighting
ain't fighting, ain't fighting
When I'm down below you
And you see my face
I might not even be there
At all
I'll be floating up above so high
Far above you in the sky
Way beyond this body
Of mine
Oh so far beyond this body of mine
Stuck in a cold and dark
Embrace
Stuck in a cold and dark
Embrace
Embrace, embrace, embrace,
Oh, embrace
The lyrics of "Embrace" by Pevan & Sarah convey a sense of being trapped in a state of emotional numbness and darkness. The repeated phrase "Stuck in a cold and dark embrace" suggests a feeling of being enveloped in a suffocating and isolating embrace, unable to break free from its grip. This metaphorical embrace represents the singer's internal struggles and emotional pain.
The lines "It lies dormant inside, won't come out of hiding" and "Since my childhood died, I've just been surviving" reveal a deep-seated emotional trauma that has remained unresolved and suppressed. The singer acknowledges that they have been merely surviving rather than truly living, as they have not been able to confront and heal from their past. The black cloud they ride on symbolizes the weight of this emotional burden, further emphasizing their state of suffering.
The lines "When you touch me there, won't let myself feel nothing" depict a resistance to allowing vulnerability and emotional connection. The singer sinks into the ground to avoid the potential pain and disappointment that may come from opening themselves up to feel. However, this self-imposed detachment ultimately brings a sense of emptiness, as there is nothing to divide the pain and pleasure.
The final verses introduce a longing to transcend this existence and rise above the limitations of the physical body. The singer yearns to be floating high in the sky, detached from their earthly troubles. This desire suggests a yearning for freedom from emotional pain and a search for a sense of peace and release.
Overall, "Embrace" by Pevan & Sarah explores themes of emotional confinement, trauma, and the longing for escape and healing.

Stuck in a cold and dark Embrace
Trapped in a chilly and gloomy state of being
Embrace, embrace, embrace
Yearning for comfort and acceptance
Oh, embrace
Longing for the warmth of an embrace
It lies dormant inside
A feeling remains inactive within
Won't come out of hiding
Refusing to reveal itself
Since my childhood died
Ever since my innocence faded away
I've just been surviving
Merely existing without truly living
No, I'm not alright
I am not okay
On a black cloud I'm riding
Navigating through dark and troubled times
When you touch me there
When you reach that vulnerable place in me
Won't let myself feel nothing
Resisting the urge to feel nothing at all
I sink into the ground
Surrendering to the earth's embrace
So it's weight can't crush me
To prevent the weight from crushing me
There's nothing to divide
No conflict between pain and pleasure
The pain and pleasure ain't fighting
The coexistence of pain and pleasure
When I'm down below you
When I am beneath you
And you see my face
As you gaze upon my countenance
I might not even be there
I may not physically exist
At all
Not at any point
I'll be floating up above so high
I will be floating in a higher realm
Far above you in the sky
Far beyond your reach, in the heavens
Way beyond this body
Beyond the physical vessel
Of mine
That I possess
Oh so far beyond this body of mine
Oh, so incredibly distant from this physical form
