Heap, Imogen - The Walk Lyrics






Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now, cos you and I were never meant to be
I think you better leave; it's not safe in here,
I feel a weakness coming on.

Alright then (Alright then) I could keep your number for a rainy day,
That's where this ends, no mistakes no misbehaving,
Oh, I was doing so well, can we just be friends,
I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.

Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now; you're as close as it gets without touching me,
Oh no, don't make it harder than it already is,
Mmm, I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.

Big trouble losing control,
Primary resistance at a critical low,
On the double gotta get a hold,
Point of no return one second to go,

No response on any level, red alert this vessels under siege,
Total overload, systems down, they've got control,
There's no way out, we are surrounded,
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it

Freeze, awake here forever, I feel a weakness coming on.

It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, it's just what I don't need,
Why make me feel like this, it's definitely all your fault.

Feel like this la la la la la la la la
It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
It's all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
It's all your fault

    Damn, this song is good. I relate to it somehow but I don't know for what. I was mis-diagnosed w/ SAD 2 years ago, I've just recently started seeing someone for therapy(not quite used to it, it's surreal tbh), and I'm still waiting for my diagnoses. This song is so freaking beautiful, sorry for making this comment do weird.

    B.... ....

    👍

    s.... ....

    shadzzz441791 if you've ever heard Watcha Say by Jason Derulo, then it isn't.

  28. M.... ....

    This is what it feels like to run from a twin flame. I feel the
    connection, but I'm terrified to surrender to it for fear it will
    destroy me.

    M.... ....

    If not in this life, the next.

  29. L.... ....

    homestuck is my favorite anime, but season 8 is so much better.

  34. f.... ....

    Why does the truth always have to hurt?

    Abby Shanyfelt because good medicine is always very bitter.

  35. M.... F....

    This is perfect. this is exactly how I feel right now with my soon to be ex boyfriend.

    M.... F....

    yaoi rabbit You alright?

    M.... F....

    +Sasha Wallace Wish I could say so, we've been together two years. It hurts to see it end like this. Thanks for asking that's very sweet of you.

    M.... F....

    yaoi rabbit No problem. Ending a relationship is always difficult. People often just need to talk a little bit to help them. I hope everything goes well for you and have a lovely day 😊

    M.... F....

    +Sasha Wallace Thank you so much and you too. :D

  36. i.... ....

    Best "friendzone" song ever

  37. l.... ....

    I like the way the lyrics can be interpreted as her resisting falling in love, or trying not to fall out of love.

    l.... ....

    I read on another upload of this song that someone hypothesized this was more of an "resisting love" song masquerading as a sad song because of the tone. It kinda blew my mind.

    And this isn't the only one like that on SFY. "Goodnight and Go" has a lighthearted melody with creepy lyrics (It's al about stalking someone.).

    l.... ....

    leo50perez nah it's meant to just not fall in love. It's fucked up. I started a fake relationship with my daughters dad because I swear that this song coming out at that time made me fall in fake love with him. It's a testament to Imogen's power as an artist. She's amazing.

    l.... ....

    And the fake love lead to a real baby but that's a long fucking story.

  38. J.... R....

    everyone's talking about Homestuck and i'm just like a podfic brought me here XD

  39. Y.... ....

    this music in me dreams

  40. C.... J....

    I haven't heard this song in awhile :) brings back memories :)

  41. E.... C....

    girrrrrrrrrrrrl. all I can say is that I know the feeling.

  42. B.... G....

    There are Castlevania flavors all over the place in this song

  43. W.... M....

    I know it's not what the song is written about, but I wanted to share what this song means to me.

    I suffer with Borderline Personality Disorder. A Mental Illness that is often categorized with a lack of emotional control, high impulsivity, low self esteem, violent mood swings & addiction.
    There's no treatment for it, bar therapy to help you try and rearrange your thought process, and often times the diagnosis can feel almost like a death sentence.

    This song, to me at least, is me singing TO my BPD and then to myself.
    I was never MEANT to be like this and I don't like the feelings my illness provides me with, and it's all it's fault. (Alternately, when a violent mood swing has been brought on by someone in my life, it is often likely that I blame THEM rather than admit to what's going on, so that line could also point to me blaming those around me for my moods)

    From the first time I stumbled onto this song, it felt like someone was describing my brain on a daily basis. From the slightly jerky and head-spinning music, to the vibrant lyrics coupled with the almost ethereal singing voice, it did sound an awful lot like the inside of my head when I'm suffering through a breakdown.

    My thoughts do get inside out, upside down and twisted inside my head.

    So although I understand the song is supposedly about a love that was never meant to be, it shall, to me at least, always be a conversation between me and my BPD, and a wonderful way to explain how my brain runs to those that don't have BPD (Or those that have it but suffer different symptoms/thought processes)

    [On another note, the video is absolutely beautiful and what drew me to the song in the sidebar]

    W.... M....

    Willow McKenna it took becoming an adult with mental illness to fully understand this song and respect her that much more

    W.... M....

    I have BPD too and i love how you interpret this song :)

    W.... M....

    Good luck Willow❤️

    W.... M....

    I've literally watched you put this same comment on 3 different imogen heap songs on this album, thanks for seeking attention. lol

    W.... M....

    Someone else here with BPD here. This song is immediately making me feel the same way, and I was going to write a comment like it myself but then I saw yours. What we fight is something scary. I hope you're still fighting; it's much better than the alternative.

  44. T.... p....

    this cute song

  45. C.... H....

    Undertale Murder-run Sans anyone?

    C.... H....

    undertale gives me the feels.
    stay determined.

    C.... H....

    +TrekkerLLAP
    ;-; the feels are punching my face

    C.... H....

    DO NOT REMIND ME.

    C.... H....

    This song make me cry times again.

  46. J.... ....

    It reminds me to Dido.

    J.... ....

    JimmyGS she is dido

  47. W.... L....

    I believe that the meaning of this song can be applied to many different types of trials. None of us want to feel like this, and none of us planned on any of this happening...

  48. H.... E....

    I think on my best friend (girl) and that I'm falling for her, it really sucks.

    H.... E....

    Same here..I got the hugest crush on my best friend and I really hate it..
    it does suck

  49. K.... L....

    I love this song

  50. H.... A....

    Perfect song describing a failed relationship. You know in your head you shouldn't still like them (I feel a weakness coming on) but you still have them damned feels...(I dont want to feel like this, I never planned this so that makes it your fault, Its not meant to be like this) Very relate-able song. Tbh, it happens to everyone eventually when you get in a really good relationship only for it to end. You start telling yourself that maybe you can still be friends because you dont want to lose that sense of security. You blame them for your confused state. You call the feelings that still linger a 'weakness'. Really though, a failed relationship is no ones fault just because of how common it is.

    So for all those confused people young and old recovering from a break up; it gets better. You're not crazy for still liking that person. Just give yourself time, after your done healing and reflecting- who knows? You might be able to work things out...

    H.... A....

    James Brandon thank you for this. Needed it.

    H.... A....

    I love your explanation. <3

    H.... A....

    Not if you can get the first relationship to work

  51. K.... S....

    Everyone's saying this reminds them of homestuck but all I can think of is sherlock???

    K.... S....

    Me too, I honestly thought I was the only one.

    K.... S....

    its good to see im not alone lol

    K.... S....

    Sherlock. i can see that XD
    For some reason i cannot see Homestuck even though i am in that fandom

  52. M.... ....

    I am stuck at home.

    M.... ....

    my home is stuck in me








    help

  53. R.... ....

    Reminds me of gamrezi ):

    R.... ....

    +Rubyoreo lawl gamrezi existed??


    oh wait, yeah it did

  54. S.... F....

    All the home stuck people in the comments

  55. R.... M....

    Imogen heap has some songs that relate to my not so good life. Yeah, hate to have you read that too but I needed to get this out since no one seems to relate to my life or even ecnolige it! Plz reply saying you understand that most kids don't think about the things that can make THEM the people that change the world. Like seeing if you repeatedly rip something in half, it won't run out, it'll just be smaller. Or notice hat people are needy. Don't go for the people that seem popular. Go for the weakend ones first, then the cool kids. Plz plz PLZ reply and share thoughts of what YOU think people should notice. Then grow off of that and bloom like a flower! :) P.S. Sox for wasting your time reading this, some of u looking forward to seeing what I thought of this song, and I think it would have gotten the radio, but the piano messed it all up.

    R.... M....

    Religion does not matter, when you die, you have your OWN beliefs, and that's good. Never try to argue with what you think you know is right. No one will win the fight. Just think, "At least I have something to hang on to, and so do they." Never judge. Never disrespect and NEVER say a mean thing about someone's religion, I am museum and a boy did not know that. He said the most heartbreaking thing about what my people believed. I told him off, and looked at me. I knew he didn't want to make the situation worse, so he said the wrong thing. You could tell by his stutter. He said, " Oh my god you're a terrorist?!" I raised my hand to slap him, but I didnt. Glad I caught myself huh? Whoever reads dis, don't do what that idiotic boy did.

  56. z.... ....

    HOMESTICK IS STUPID

    z.... ....

    @Jessamine Kaldwin Well this is just my opinion, but in the more recent updates, alot of the characters were really flanderized (karkat, dave, rose, roxy, retcon vriska is literally nothing) and there is a bit too much fanservice lately (not putting examples bc i'd rather not get flamed) for me to want to continute reading it. HS means a lot to me but it changed so drastically i just.. wanted to quit following it. ;_;

    z.... ....

    +xCalamityLPSx ........

    YOU'RE STUPID.

    NO.
    THIS.
    IS.
    STUPID.

    z.... ....

    Ikr it fuckin sucks

    z.... ....

    Dat Weird 69er No this is Patrick

    z.... ....

    tbh,if you wanna insult something,at least do it properly

  57. T.... ....

    This song..... its the story of my life.

    T.... ....

    Me too my friend...

  58. L.... ....

    Can someone just tell me what "Homestuck" is. I keep seeing comments and just wanna know what the hell it is lol

    L.... ....

    you don't want to know run save yourself

    L.... ....

    Utter garbage of a comic, and it's filled with rabid fans and inconsistencies. Poor storytelling, lazy art, cliche ideas, egotistical creator, overall not worth anyone's time.

    L.... ....

    Late reply, but uh,


    Homestuck is a piece of shit webcomic that deserves to go headfirst into the trashcan... but it's so fucking amazing I'll tell ya that, read it if you've got the time :3

    L.... ....

    @Wolfoe1238 You had me until that last bit there.

    L.... ....

    Homestuck is like that greese that stays in the pan after cooking bacon.

  59. G.... A....

    I don't see the connection to homestuck. Are people just sobbing because it is used in that video for three years in five minutes?

    G.... A....

    @***** homestuck has been "close to ending" for like 3 years lol

    G.... A....

    +The Librarian From Oz Right now it really is close to ending. Homestuck IS ending in 1 month, and I can bet anything

    G.... A....

    +Dat Weird 69er noooooo

    G.... A....

    17 days left or something

    G.... A....

    It makes me think of the hardships during the game ://

  60. G.... K....

    *Thinks of nothing*
    *Homestuck comes to mind*
    *Can't think of Homestuck because too busy thinking of nothing*
    *Nostalgy avoided succesfully*

    G.... K....

    +Ookami heya lelouch

  61. T.... E....

    All u homestuck idiots I'll kill u fucking up my song!

    T.... E....

    Toga Emrich lmao if you want to insult us,at least have the courtesy to use proper grammer lmao

    T.... E....

    and whenever since was this your song? Did you write it? No.

    T.... E....

    Shut the fuck up, it's a song

  62. F.... ....
