Heavy

The speaker feels overwhelmed by their own thoughts and by problems that seem to keep growing. They want to calm down and release some of this pressure, but panic also feels familiar, so letting go is difficult. The repeated question about why everything feels “heavy” expresses exhaustion rather than asking for a literal explanation.

Several images make that feeling clear. “Holding on” suggests clinging to worries or thoughts, while carrying more than one can manage. “Dragging around” what brings the speaker down compares emotional burdens to weight that slows someone physically. The “gravity” image also suggests a force pulling them back, even when they want to escape their thoughts.

The lyrics show some self-awareness: the speaker admits they are not the center of the universe, yet still feels that events and other people revolve around them. This could describe anxious thinking, where a person recognizes that their fears may be exaggerated but cannot simply switch them off. The song does not clearly say what the speaker should let go of, or whether the feeling comes from a particular relationship or from their own mind. That uncertainty keeps the focus on the struggle itself.
