Echoes of Regret: A Boy Named John's Poetic Reflections on Words and Fate
Lyrics
I said words that won't come back
I regret expressing words that cannot be taken back.
We're missing her and she longs for us
We feel the absence of someone, and she yearns for our presence.
Sin black tar with signs to leave
Engaging in sinful behavior with a substance resembling black tar, accompanied by signs indicating the need to depart.
Folded like a map through a blank white screen
Folded or defeated, likened to a map on a blank white screen, suggesting confusion or lack of direction.
I'm coming home and locking the door
Returning home and securing oneself by locking the door, possibly indicating a desire for safety or solitude.
I've seen enough and I'm cutting you off
Having witnessed enough, deciding to sever ties or communication with someone.
Sheets so soft against my core
Experiencing comfort from soft sheets against one's core, implying a sense of physical solace.
They tucked me in too tight so, goodnight now
Being tucked in too tightly, signaling a farewell or the end of the day with a "goodnight."
Are you safe when we're gone
Raising a question about safety in the absence of the speaker.
Your faith in our actions (In our actions)
Questioning the trust or belief in the speaker's actions by someone else.
Are we pushing our luck
Considering if there is a risk being taken or if fate is being challenged.
Or forcing our own fates?
Contemplating whether actions are imposing destiny or outcomes forcibly.
I'd rather be bones on the road
Expressing a preference for risking one's life on the road as bones over staying in the perceived safety of home as mere skin.
Than skin in my own home
Choosing vulnerability on the road over the perceived security within one's own home.
Let's take it easy tonight
Suggesting a desire for a calm or relaxed evening.
I'm thinking of drawing the lots
Contemplating the idea of leaving things to chance or fate.
I said words that won't come back
Repeating the regret of expressing irreversible words.
We're missing her and she longs for us
Reiterating the feeling of missing someone and their reciprocal longing.
Sin black tar with signs to leave
Engaging in sinful behavior with black tar and signs pointing towards departure, repeated for emphasis.
Folded like a map through a blank white screen now
Being defeated or confused, depicted as folding like a map on a blank white screen, reemphasized.
I'm coming home and locking the door
Returning home and securing oneself by locking the door, again for emphasis.
I've seen enough and I'm cutting you off
Deciding to cut ties or communication after having seen enough, reiterated.
Sheets so soft against my core
Experiencing comfort from soft sheets against one's core, with a repeated emphasis on physical solace.
They tucked me in too tight so, goodnight now
Being tucked in too tightly, signaling a farewell or the end of the day with a "goodnight," repeated for emphasis.
I said words that won't come back
Repeating the regret of expressing words that cannot be taken back.
