Around
m:a.ture Lyrics

I hear you loud and clear
I understand and acknowledge your message clearly amidst all the distractions.

Through all the din and commotion
Despite the chaos and noise around me, I can still hear and comprehend what you're saying.

A constant ringing bell
Like a never-ending sound that echoes in my mind.

Or the ocean in a shell I held up to my ear
Similar to listening to the sound of the sea trapped within a shell pressed against my ear.

While everything else
Despite all that is happening around me.

Is breaking like the waves down on the coastline
Everything else is falling apart like waves crashing upon the shore.

Breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink
Metaphorically symbolizing how my own life is breaking apart, like a glass with spilled wine.

Breaking like the heart that's stuck inside my skin
The pain and hurt I'm going through are like my heart breaking into pieces inside my chest.

Will it ever beat again
Questioning if my heart will ever recover and beat normally again.

Or just go on bleeding 'til it's empty
Wondering if my heart will continue hurting and losing pieces until there is nothing left.

'Til I fill it up again
Until I find something to fill the void and heal the hurt inside my heart.

I feel you baby
I understand what you're going through and empathize with you.

These aren't fighting words, just a declaration
I am not arguing with you; I am merely stating a fact.

So I guess I'll be going now
I will leave you for now.

I know you're looking out for new eyes in the crowd
I understand that you are trying to move on and find someone new.

I'll see you around
I'll probably see you sometime soon.

Shiny pieces underneath my feet
Referring to the broken pieces that cover the floor, reflecting light like shiny gems.

Shiny pieces are not all of me
Just because I am broken and hurting does not mean I am incomplete or unworthy of love and respect.

There's a far-off feeling, I can't shake it
A sense of something distant and unknown that I cannot eliminate or ignore.

Hold it in my hands but I'm not breaking
Despite the pain and turmoil, I am still standing strong and not giving up.

Breaking like the waves down on the coastline
Similar to earlier lines, everything else is still falling apart and breaking like waves upon the shore.

Breaking like the heart that's stuck inside my skin
Repeated again, symbolizing the hurt and pain inside my chest.

Come on, fill it up again
Encouraging myself to find something that will help me heal and make me feel whole again.

Fill it up again
Repeating the previous line, emphasizing the need to find something that will fill the void and heal the hurt.
