Dragging Our Feet
Send The City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the mess that's forthcoming
All here throughout, all the damage is here
This progress has now become nothing
The eye of this storm now is near

Come close dear,
We can't move on
I won't fix,
This damage,
Burrowing itself into my brain
And I can't break,
I won't take,
These things you've said, will all be said in vain

The rain of my forecast is coming,
Out of your final sadistic words
And as it grows,
I seem to note,
Our past, present, future is cursed

Come close dear,
We can't move on

I won't fix,
This damage,
Burrowing itself into my brain
And I can't break,
I won't take,
These things you've said, will all be said in vain

It all will be in vain

These things you've said to me,
They say you'll never leave
I only wish to flee [2x]

I won't fix,
This damage,
Burrowing itself into my brain
And I can't break,
I won't take,
These things you've said, will all be said in vain





It all will be in vain

Overall Meaning

The song "Dragging Our Feet" by Send The City is a powerful ballad about the aftermath of a relationship gone awry. The lyrics evoke feelings of hurt, anger, and desperation as the singer tries to come to terms with the damage that has been done. The opening lines "I see the mess that's forthcoming, all here throughout, all the damage is here" set the tone for the rest of the song, signaling a sense of inevitability and resignation.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "We can't move on," captures the tension between wanting to hold on to something that has already ended and the realization that it's time to let go. The lines "These things you've said, will all be said in vain" suggest that the singer has heard apologies and promises before, but knows deep down that they won't lead to any real change.


The imagery of a "rain of forecast" in the lyrics further emphasizes the feeling of impending doom and emotional distress. The song also touches upon the idea of being trapped in a cycle, as noted in the line "Our past, present, future is cursed." The repetition of the phrase "I won't fix, this damage" shows a reluctance to engage in the hard work of repairing a relationship that may not be worth saving.


Overall, "Dragging Our Feet" is a moving portrayal of the aftermath of a difficult breakup, and the emotions that can arise when trying to move on from the hurt and damage.
