Storm
Taylar Elizza Beth Lyrics

Sitting at the edge of this
Starting the song with the narration of the singer's present state of mind

Perspective feels like Biggie bliss
Describing the feeling of being in control, just like the late rapper, Biggie

I hope you know I wont come home for you
Declaring the decision to move on individually

I sow my seeds deep
The artist invests in herself, putting in effort and time to grow and flourish

Dig my roots
The character wants to be grounded in her beliefs and values

My fruits only growin' if I do
Implying that the singer's efforts are solely her own responsibility and that she'll reap the benefits if she works hard enough

Pleasure comes from promises
Highlighting that the feeling of happiness and contentment comes from keeping your word

Maybe I missed mixed messages
Acknowledging the failure to understand intentions or what was meant

The snow it fills, its cold
Drawing a metaphor of the snow filling the voids, representing the emotional numbness experienced

It gets me through
The hardship is a coping mechanism to the artist

You have your vices
Acknowledging that everyone has their vices

I got mine too
Admitting that she has her faults and lets go of any judgement and pressure from others

We keep em secret
Keeping the vices and their associated problems a private matter

I'll keep yours
Promising to maintain the trust and confidentiality of others

I wont judge you
Assuring that she's not here to judge others for their flaws

Was only a problem because we made it that way
Highlighting that how we look at things determined the significance of the problem

Tried your best but came up short
Accepting an apology in relation to unfulfilled expectations

I hope the hurt heals okay
Acknowledging an injury in relation to the failed expectations and wishing a speedy recovery

I hope the pain fades away
Wishing for the pain to subside

I hope its nice where you lay
Wishing that the other party is at peace at the place they settle

We agree to disagree we go
Agreeing to disagree and move forward

Baby baby bird
A metaphor representing an innocent and vulnerable part of the character

Looking from the tops of tree leaves
Observing the environment from a higher vantage point

Feeling deep within you breathing
Sinking into the emotions that come from feeling alive

Want to feast upon the freeing
Craving the liberties and freedoms of life that come with maturity

Energy
Feeling energetic and alive

You don't know whats Best for me
Expressing the belief that the singer knows what is best for herself than others

You barely know me anymore
The acknowledgement that people change over time

A lifetime of searching
A description of the efforts and experiences an individual in life

I am getting my Just deserving
Acknowledging the hard work that pays off and is well-deserved

I am living life despite unnerving
Living life in the present despite personal discomfort

Almost ended everything at age 19
Recalling a personal challenge or hardship at that age with suicidal contemplations

Guess it helps unlearning
Reflecting on the personal growth and progress that comes from unlearning toxic beliefs and behaviors

Ya mama didn't raise you, let you fend for yourself
Expression of not having parental guidance and being forced to rely on oneself to survive

Ruined her life and she forgave you
Feeling guilty for having inflicted harm and the mother-figure forgiving in spite of the actions

For being no help
Recognizing that the artist was initially helpless in the situation

And she made you and bathed you
Taking care of a parent's responsibilities as somebody else's child

With no help
Acknowledging the lack of available support

And she placed you at the top
Affirming that the mother-figure valued and uplifted the singer despite adversities

And this is how your turn out?
Questioning the end result despite the mother-figure's support

It wasn't like you didn't have nice things
Acknowledging the comfortable lifestyle that one attained during their upbringing

Necklaces and rings
Material wealth in the form of jewelry

HGTV
Reference to luxury and lifestyle television show

Swimming pool in the backyard to contain your dreams
A value statement on the lack of struggle in the artist's upbringing

Stay underwater lil' longer to escape reality
Escaping reality by remaining submerged in one's thoughts

Will this play out how I see it in my head?
Envisioning how a certain scenario will unfold

Will the vision, all I'm givin' to the world transcend?
Questioning if the singer's work will carry significance and create an impact that lasts beyond the current moment

Every little piece blend?
Questioning if everything aligns perfectly and cohesively, creating a seamless entirety

Every bit, every line
Evaluation of each part of the larger picture

Will it fit, is it mine?
Questions on the authenticity of the work and whether it effectively represents the singer

Is it time?
Questioning if it is the right time for an action or progress

Is it my time?
Questioning if it is the artist's moment for growth and success

Where will you leave it when you done with it?
Questioning the final destination or outcome of one's effort when they have completed it

Believe me there are creatures you will never truly meet
Describing the existence of intangible, mysterious elements in life

They will never show they teeth to you
Reference to hidden agendas or secrets

Until they feastin' on yo juices
Others taking advantage of one's weaknesses or vulnerabilities

Gettin' off to all your truest
Others taking pleasure in one's authenticity or true self

Light
Reference to a guiding light or savior figure

Will you be my storm tonight?
Expressing a desire for intensity or passion in a relationship

Can't escape the rain
Acknowledging that the hardships or challenges cannot be avoided

Will you be my all the time?
Desiring commitment and dedication from a partner

Know you taste my pain
Expressing that the other person understands and empathizes with the pain of the singer
