Flood on the Floor Lyrics

She lost her voice down by the river
Screamin' for courage, take oceans and her
She read your mind and called it her terror
Misplacin' her sleep to keep the world nearer

Don't forget the way she pushed the water inside
Waded through the spirits like a flood on the floor
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget

I'll miss keepin' you
I hope you're sleepin' to

I hope you're
I hope you're

She took your face and called it acquired
Knitted lace out of lashes, battered with ashes
She held her hands and told you to wonder
How you'd fit in the land if the waves held you under

Don't forget the way she pushed the water inside
Waded through the spirits like a flood on the floor
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget

I'll miss keepin' you
I hope you're sleepin' too

I hope you're
I hope you're

I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
I'll take you out and up in light
I'll bury you good and straight and right
If you ask an answer
Don't forget, forget, don't forget

I hope you're
I hope you're

I hope you're (I hope you're)

Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget
Don't forget, forget, don't forget, forget

What is the Meaning of Flood on the Floor?

Exploring themes of loss and emotional inundation, "Flood on the Floor" delves into the turmoil of letting go and the struggle to maintain connection with oneself amidst chaos. The lyrics suggest a narrative where the protagonist loses their voice—a metaphor for losing part of their identity or agency—while desperately trying to keep hold of their inner strength ("Screamin' for courage"). The recurrent imagery of water pushing inside and flooding symbolizes overwhelming emotions that one tries to navigate but often feels submerged by. The refrain "Don't forget" serves as a poignant reminder to hold onto memories or essential parts of oneself, despite the engulfing emotional waters. 🌊💔 #PurityRing #EmotionalStruggle #LossAndRecovery #InnerStrength
