In this introspective track, Clairo delves into feelings of inadequacy and helplessness that often accompany moments of self-doubt and anxiety. The repeated refrain "Is it my doing?" suggests a struggle with internalizing blame for her emotional state, questioning whether her own actions or inherent flaws contribute to her feeling overwhelmed. The imagery of "sinking to the floor" evokes a sense of being weighed down by these emotions, unable to rise above them despite external attempts to help. Yet, there's a hint of solace when she mentions how someone saying her name can momentarily alleviate her distress, indicating the power of personal connections in providing relief from internal turmoil.
Sinking
Lyrics
Every night
Think of things I can't do or haven't done
It doesn't make me weak, sometimes I feel like I can't breathe
Is that all you see in me?
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you can't help it no-more
Is it my doing? Is it my doing?
Outside it's getting colder
Why does it feel like I'm older than I ask to be?
But when you say my name
It all falls away so tenderly
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you tried to help me
Why do I feel so cold?
Is it my doing? Is it my doing?
Is it my doing? Is it my doing?
Is it my doing?
Is it my doing?
