Heavy
Wright & Bastard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm never gonna live in that room with you
Weathered from seeing the upside
Choking on my own smile
I float around with my heavy crown
Grease the coil to watch it unwind
It feels so fitting to cover things with gauze
Sever the from the outcome
When what's existing subsides




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wright & Bastard's song Heavy can be interpreted as a struggle to maintain a relationship where one person is burdened by the weight of their past experiences and emotions. The first line, "I'm never gonna live in that room with you," suggests a desire to distance oneself from the other person, perhaps due to an inability to share personal space or a reluctance to become too emotionally involved. The line "Weathered from seeing the upside" could mean that the singer is jaded from past experiences and unable to see positivity in the situation.


The following line, "Choking on my own smile," implies that the singer may be putting on a false facade to appease the other person, but it's causing them distress. They feel weighed down by their own emotions and may be struggling to cope. "I float around with my heavy crown" could represent the singer's emotional baggage, which they carry with them wherever they go. "Grease the coil to watch it unwind" may suggest an attempt to release pent-up emotions, but it could also mean that attempts to cope are causing more harm than good. "It feels so fitting to cover things with gauze" could represent attempts to mask or hide emotions and pain. "Sever the from the outcome, when what's existing subsides" implies a willingness to detach from the situation to protect themselves emotionally.
