Blunderbuss
Blunderbuss Revelations: Monsters, Mistakes, and Firing Blind
Lyrics
The monster under the bed was the same one that tucked me in
The fear or threat I faced as a child is the same one I trusted.
The beast in the closet was supposed to a friend
The danger hidden in the closet was expected to be a companion.
The scratching shadow outside the window
The mysterious figure outside the window was someone I thought I knew.
Was the one I thought I knew
All my fears and anxieties are connected to you.
All these nightmares, all these tremors, they all are you
Nightmares and tremors are manifestations of your influence.
If we were in the mines, you'd be the blackdamp in my lungs
In challenging situations, you are the harmful element affecting me.
I'd be the canary who is never coming home
I am the vulnerable one, never returning from the dangerous situation.
Maybe I'm underdressed, maybe I'll blend in fine
I might not be adequately prepared, but I might fit in well.
If you're under duress, I'll help you free your mind
If you're in trouble, I'll help you liberate your thoughts.
I find you wondrous, maybe I crossed the line
I admire you, but perhaps I've crossed a boundary.
We'll load this blunderbuss and start firing blind
We will face consequences by taking bold actions without knowing the outcome.
It sounds adventurous, if we make it out alive
The idea of facing danger together is exciting if we survive.
With no harness you came and threw me in the lake
You entered my life without warning and immersed me in a challenging situation.
No gentle caress before you claimed me your biggest mistake
No gentle affection before you declared me your significant mistake.
If I sink in the ground, if I drown, you'd say it must be fate
If I face adversity, you'd attribute it to destiny.
All these nightmares, all these tremors, they share your name
All the negative experiences are associated with your identity.
If we were blasting off, you'd be the radiation
In a space journey, you represent the harmful radiation.
I'd be the mongrel mutt who is never coming home
I am the outsider, never returning from the perilous journey.
Maybe I'm underdressed, maybe I'll blend in fine
I may not be adequately prepared, but I might adapt well.
If you're under duress, I'll help you free your mind
If you're in a difficult situation, I'll assist you in freeing your thoughts.
I find you wondrous, maybe I crossed the line
I admire you, but I may have gone beyond acceptable limits.
We'll load this blunderbuss and start firing blind
We will face consequences by taking bold actions without knowing the outcome (repeated).
It sounds adventurous, if we make it out alive
The idea of facing danger together is exciting if we survive (repeated).
Thrown under the bus, scapegoat for a time
Being unfairly blamed for a period, facing the consequences.
We'll load this blunderbuss and start firing blind
We will face consequences by taking bold actions without knowing the outcome (repeated).
