Minus} - Toe the Line

Copied!edit Lyrics

You never sway in the windy night
You never sink in the rolling tide
But now you’re drowning alone again
Uncomfortable in your own skin

So you put it under lock and key
Using silence so accusingly
And you’re lying in a separate bed
With insomnia instead of me

(All you say that you want.)

Here we are after all these days
And it’s life that we while away
(All you say that you want.)
Just a glance when we pass in the hall
We never break through the silence at all
(Have you got еverything you want?)

And now it’s normal so there’s nothing to do
Just gotta try hard to makе it through
(All you say that you want.)
And I’m lying in a separate bed
With insomnia instead of you
(Is it all you need?)
What do you do when it fades to nothing?
You’re getting sore from sitting tight
Do you wait for another connection?
It starts to kill you just to toe the line
It’s gonna kill you just to toe the line

Song Description:

edit soundcloud

The song "Toe the Line" by +/- {Plus/Minus} delves into the struggles of maintaining a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics speak of feeling uncomfortable in one's own skin, using silence as a weapon, and lying in separate beds with insomnia instead of being together. The chorus questions whether the characters have everything they want and reflects on the mundanity of life while trying to make it through. The song captures the feeling of waiting for something more, feeling trapped in a cycle of dissatisfaction, and the toll it takes to just toe the line and keep going.
