Expectation
Seaway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

These never ending, condescending circumstances I left pending...
Don't act like you're helping, just stop pretending to lose ll control Unable to steer, you told me that night was your biggest fear and I said. "
They'll never climb higher but they can sure as hell try.
As long as we keep on they'll keep wondering why." Don't let yourself go, don't let yourself go.
The thought of it makes me sick.
At the end of the day we've been casted away but I know we can handle this.

"They'll never climb higher but they can sure as hell try."", show the struggle the singer is facing in his life. He feels helpless and unable to steer the direction of his life. However, he refuses to give up, and encourages himself that he can try and climb higher. The chorus, "Don't let yourself go, don't let yourself go. The thought of it makes me sick. At the end of the day we've been casted away but I know we can handle this." reflects the determination of the singer to not give in to his circumstances and to keep fighting.

Overall, the lyrics of "Expectation" reflect the struggle of facing societal pressures and expectations, and the determination to not give up in the face of adversity.
