This song delves into the emotional journey of someone grappling with feelings of invisibility and loneliness. The artist shares her struggle to assert herself, only to feel suppressed or unheard. The repeated motif of 'ripples' symbolizes her attempts at making an impact, but feeling like it's insignificant or unnoticed. This is further emphasized in lines where she talks about working hard for recognition. The lyrics also touch on the theme of betrayal or disappointment in relationships, as indicated by the metaphor of being allowed to drive a car only to be left alone later. Ultimately, this poignant track explores the complexities of self-expression, validation and navigating relationships.
Ripples
Lyrics
Please don't make me hide
I've been puttin' up a fight
What's the use of it now
When I get pulled down anyways?
I've been hidin' my expression
You can't blame the reflections
And the ripples on the ground
I might as well have drowned
So I'm keepin' busy
Work twice as hard as you
Want you to believe me
That I can pick and choose
Said you'd let me drive your car
As long as I'm with you
Then you'd wait 'til we get far
And tell me that you'll be gone soon
Feels too late right now
I've been holding back
'Cause I'm afraid that I'm too loud
Six feet underground
I feel alone again
Stuck between my friends
I guess I'll figure my way through them
Not sure how I'd do it
But I'm sure now
The people would listen
As the water glistens
Then I see my reflection
So much clearer
So I'm keepin' busy
Work twice as hard as you
Want you to believe me
That I can pick and choose
Said you'd let me drive your car
As long as I'm with you
Then you'd wait 'til we get far
And tell me that you'll be gone soon
