Sidewinder
Stand Atlantic Lyrics

I'm a wave in the ocean,
I am powerful and constantly moving forward, like a wave in the ocean.

You're a tree in the orchard
You are grounded and rooted, like a tree in an orchard.

I'm out like I'm under,
I feel lost and helpless, like I am underwater.

Stuck deep in your soil
I am trapped and struggling, stuck in the deep emotional connection we share.

From my chest, to my head,
I feel the intensity of the emotions from my heart to my mind.

To the breath on your neck,
I feel close to you, breathing intensely on your neck.

Silhouettes and regrets
Memories of our past haunt me with shadows of regret.

Now replace you instead
I am trying to move on and replace you with something better.

Spit me out
I want to get rid of the emotional attachment to you.

Do you feel empty?
Do you feel unfulfilled without me?

Cause your whispers consume me
Your words have a hold on me and control my thoughts and actions.

They grow deeper,
The more I hear them, the more they make an impact on me.

They shake me and they linger
The words affect me emotionally and stick with me long after they were spoken.

I'm a renegade and a sinner
I am defying the norms and breaking the rules, making myself a sinner.

You're a blue bird in the winter,
You are a symbol of hope and warmth, even in the cold and dark winter months.

Disguising the way you hide
You are concealing your true feelings and hiding from your problems.

Like a sidewinder
You are sneaky and deceptive, like a sidewinding snake.

You lack in conviction,
You are indecisive and unsure of yourself.

So suffer in silence
Your lack of conviction is causing you pain, which you keep to yourself.

With self medication
You are trying to cope with your problems on your own by taking drugs or alcohol.

And its sour elation
The temporary high from the drugs or alcohol only makes things worse in the long run.

I've been muting the colours on my skin
I have been suppressing my true emotions and feelings, making myself dull and lifeless.

I've been matching the distance that you bring
I have been matching your emotional distance and withdrawing from our relationship.

I fall asleep to the pressure,
I am weighed down by the pressure of our relationship and feel exhausted by it.

That I can't make this better,
I am unable to fix our relationship, no matter how hard I try.

Cause you won't let me further in
You are not allowing me to get closer to you and work towards a resolution.

You could've used some respect,
If you had treated me with respect, we may have had a chance at fixing things.

Instead you played with my head
You messed with my emotions and made me doubt myself.

And now I'll never let you go,
Your actions have pushed me away permanently and I won't forget the pain you caused.

I'm on the side of the fence you don't call home
I am no longer on your side because of the harm you have caused our relationship.

Sidewinder wake me in the dead of night
You come back to haunt me when I least expect it.

So you can take me to the place you hide.
You are leading me to a place where you can continue hiding from our problems.
