Liana Flores Lyrics

Hands are tied
I don't mind
I'll make you be ok

But frequently
I picture myself walking straight into the sea
Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
What a place to be

Side by side
You keep me safe from their static getting through
Please be fine
It's too late now to go leave you behind

But recently
Everyone says they are seeing less of me
I could do better if I had energy
Be like I used to be

And frequently
I picture myself walking straight into the sea
Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
What a place to be

And it's a lovely day for swimming
Pretend I didn't see the red flags that said don't go
Cause if a storm out there's beginning
I'll find it for myself and not cause someone told me so

Recently
Everyone says they are seeing less of me
I could do better if I had energy
Be like I used to be

But frequently
I picture myself walking straight into the sea

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
What a place to be

The song "Recently" by Liana Flores is a melancholic reflection on a relationship that seems to be struggling. The opening lines, "Hand in hand, the flowers understand that we're fine, you and I," suggest that the singer is holding onto the idea that everything is okay, but the lyrics that follow contradict this. The phrase "hands are tied" implies helplessness, but the singer insists that they will make everything be okay. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer could do better if they had more energy, and this lack of energy clearly has a negative impact on their relationship, as other people are noticing that they're not as present as they used to be.

The most striking element of the song, however, is the imagery in the lines, "I picture myself walking straight into the sea, laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees, what a place to be." This suggests a desire to escape or to be overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. The line "Please be fine, it's too late now to go leave you behind" suggests that the singer is torn between their desire to escape and the responsibility they feel towards their partner. However, the final lines of the song indicate that the singer is determined to follow their own path, even if it means going against the warnings of others.

Overall, "Recently" is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the complexities of relationships and the desire for freedom.

Hand in hand
Together and unified

The flowers understand
Nature symbolizes the harmony between us

That we're fine, you and I
We are doing well as a pair

Hands are tied
Unable to act

I don't mind
I am willing to help

I'll make you be ok
I will do what it takes to make things better

But recently
Lately

Everyone says they are seeing less of me
Others feel like they don't see me as often

I could do better if I had energy
I know I could do more if I had the motivation

Be like I used to be
I want to regain my past self

But frequently
Often

I picture myself walking straight into the sea
Mentally escaping reality

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
Finding joy in something dangerous

What a place to be
A tempting feeling to escape reality

Side by side
Together and supportive

You keep me safe from their static getting through
You protect me from negativity around us

Please be fine
I hope you are doing well

It's too late now to go leave you behind
I won't abandon you, no matter what happens

And it's a lovely day for swimming
A beautiful opportunity to enjoy the present

Pretend I didn't see the red flags that said don't go
Ignore the warnings and take a risk

Cause if a storm out there's beginning
Even amidst danger, I will continue

I'll find it for myself and not cause someone told me so
I will take my own path instead of following others

Recently
As of late

Everyone says they are seeing less of me
Others feel like they don't see me as often

I could do better if I had energy
I know I could do more if I had the motivation

Be like I used to be
I want to regain my past self

But frequently
Often

I picture myself walking straight into the sea
Mentally escaping reality

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees
Finding joy in something dangerous

What a place to be
A tempting feeling to escape reality
