Flood of Emotion
Provision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
attention. Remember the words, I’ll never be the one to leave.
Suspended in time, remaining truthfully.
In a flood of emotion. You’ll see it.
Like a tide to the ocean. Always, changing.
In tears of sadness. Believing, deceiving.
We’ll never know the difference. Time is rearranging.
You can’t expect I’d believe. The tears, I see.
They’re not for me.
Conviction lies among the false pretension.
When saving yourself becomes a fallacy.
My only intention is to move on.
I’ve now removed myself, from all your drama.
You can’t expect I’d believe. Your words. Tonight.
I know your lies.
The lyrics of Provision's song "Flood of Emotion" reflect the feeling of being caught up in someone else's emotional turmoil and choosing to break away from it. The first verse describes someone who is sinking to the same level as many before them, desperate for attention, but the singer wants to make it clear that they will not be the one to leave. They are suspended in time, holding on to the truth while everything else around them is changing. The chorus describes the overwhelming emotions that come with being caught in a flood of emotion, whether it be tears of sadness, belief or deception, the passage of time will continue to rearrange all that was once thought to be certain.
The second verse goes on to speak of conviction lying among false pretension and how sometimes saving oneself can become a fallacy. The singer's only intention now is to move on and the drama from the past has been removed. The final lines of the song bring it all together, as the singer declares that they can't believe the lies anymore and they know that the tears are not for them. It is a song about breaking away from emotional turmoil, holding on to truth, and choosing to move forward.
