Heavy
Phedora 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
To 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
To 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
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To 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?
The song "Heavy" by Phedora is about the overwhelming feeling of constantly holding onto burdens and problems that weigh one down. The lyrics express the struggle of trying to let go of these issues and the fear of losing control in the process. The first verse describes the constant cycle of piling unnecessary problems on top of each other and the desire to slow things down. However, the comfort of being stuck in this cycle makes it hard to break free from it. The second verse delves deeper into the feeling of paranoia and the belief that the world is against the singer. It is a response to those who dismiss their feelings as mere paranoia. The chorus highlights the theme of holding onto things that are too heavy to bear while recognizing the possibility of freedom if one were to let go. The repetition of asking why everything is so heavy emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape one's own mind.
Overall, the song's powerful message about mental health struggles and the importance of acknowledging and dealing with them has resonated with many listeners.

That is how the Linkin Park Version SHOULD sound - amazing work, guys! You shown it is possible that this song could sound in old, good Linkin Park style.
