Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And start to Im not safe
You and your you promised me, Ill see the sun and all Im asking is
Since I have been always takes, takes
From the today, to
I cant understand, you forgetting yours
I can always feel the weight of your from a mile
I can try to give with thisthing
I cant understand, why you wont let
Fight to find your way to forget you
And determine it without following.
The lyrics in The Casket Lottery's song Pamina convey emotions of confusion and betrayal. The singer is struggling to believe what someone has said to them, feeling unsafe in the aftermath of those words. The person who spoke made promises to the singer, but all they have done is take from them. The singer is having a hard time understanding why this person has forgotten their own obligations and is not reciprocating the promised positivity.
The singer is carrying the weight of the other person's actions, feeling undeserving of the turmoil that has ensued. They want to give everything they can to try and make things right, but they cannot understand why the other person won't let them. The singer is fighting to forget the person's actions and move on, but it is a difficult task. They want to determine their own path in life without the other person's influence, but it is proving to be a challenge.
