Ⓒ 𝒞𝑜𝓅𝓎𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉: 🆉🆈🅶🅰🅾 🎼 𝒪𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝐿𝓎𝓇𝒾𝒸𝓈 🎧: 🆉🆈🅶🅰🅾 ______________________________ ✦ That Weight ✦ “That Weight” is about the uncomfortable realization that life can no longer be kept in the same order we once believed we could control. The song moves between nostalgia, exhaustion and uncertainty. It asks whether it is possible to miss the past while still loving the present, without being afraid of what comes next. The weight in the song is both real and metaphorical… the problems that follow us into bed, the thoughts that refuse to rest, and the feeling that tomorrow will simply begin again. “Checkmate” represents the loss of control. What once felt like having all the pieces in their places becomes something completely different: realizing that some things were never ours to control in the first place. ________________________ ✦ That Weight ✦ Confused? Hmm Confused? Hmm Today I wanted to be the same as yesterday And tomorrow I won’t be the same as today… Everything changes fast Everything passes fast Sometimes everything is fast And time is slow! I… Yes… I… I used to take pride Pride in my control All the pieces in their places And checkmate That feels so, so distant Now… Now when I lie down And feel a ton of problems Resting on my pillow Problems… It’s not easy… Nothing is easy… Can you miss the past While loving the present Without fearing your future? I don’t know… My pillow feels like stone It holds it all while I try to rest But I only grow tired… Tomorrow it all starts again That weight! I… Yes… I… I used to take pride Pride in my control All the pieces out of place And checkmate Can you miss the past While loving the present Without fearing your future? I don’t know… Checkmate… Checkmate!!!
