Shametown
Redemption Unveiled: 16 Horsepower's Shametown Revealed
Lyrics
I see the world through the eyes of an idiot
I perceive the world with the simplicity of a foolish person
Talkin' big white trash
Expressing oneself with exaggerated, boastful language typical of lower-class white society
Before the girls an boys inside of my soul
Referring to the internal conflict between masculine and feminine aspects within
They make my path
These internal struggles influence my life's journey
In the mirror there I see my father's face in glass
Seeing the reflection of my father's traits in the mirror
I know I am not anyone yet too afraid to ask
Acknowledging uncertainty about personal identity, hesitating to seek clarification
I will pawn you my watch
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice personal possessions, perhaps symbolizing desperation or a desire for change
Pawn you my chain
-Pawn you my new diamond ring
-Pawn you my watch
-Pawn you my chain
-Pawn you yeah most anything
-Get your clogs on the floor
Encouraging action, asking for increased effort and commitment
Step up step up step up an do more
-Hey little girl is your door still open
Inquiring about emotional openness, questioning if vulnerability still exists
The devil still inside
Referring to inner struggles or negative influences that persist
Seen your face he left the place
Noting the departure of negativity but at the cost of losing everything
Took everything inside
-Hey by the way I forgot to mention
Casually mentioning an important revelation or announcement
I let it just slip out
Unintentionally revealing information about a significant event
Today is the day of salvation
Emphasizing the immediacy of a transformative experience or redemption
Ain't a gonna tell no lie
Affirming the truthfulness of the declaration
Some through the water
Referencing various trials and tribulations, highlighting the role of salvation through divine intervention
Some through the flood
-Some by the fire
-But all through his blood
-Some through the water
-Some through the flood
-Some by the bullet
-But all through His blood
-
