Teeth
Unveiling Inner Battles: Teeth by Acacia Ridge
Lyrics
I shot at the sun today
The singer metaphorically aimed at achieving something significant.
To see what the sound would be
Curiosity drove the singer to explore the outcome of their action.
I buried my doubts away
The singer suppressed their uncertainties or worries.
They no longer bother me
The singer is now free from the concerns that troubled them.
I followed a voice today
The singer pursued a direction or advice.
To see where it guided me
They followed guidance to discover where it led.
I don't want to overstay
The singer is conscious about not overstaying their welcome.
The welcome it gave to me
Acknowledging the acceptance or reception given to them.
Like a phantom in the window
A presence or idea that's elusive or barely noticeable.
In the corner of your eye
A subtle presence that catches attention indirectly.
I finally had to notice that I'm fighting the wrong fight
Realization of being engaged in an incorrect or misguided struggle.
And you bark more than you bite
A comparison highlighting someone's tendency to make threats without following through.
I shot at the moon today
Another attempt at something significant, albeit towards a different goal.
To see what the sight would be
Seeking to understand the consequence or view of the action taken.
I buried my songs away
The singer hides their creative expressions or emotions.
Oh what a tragedy
Expressing regret or sadness over suppressing artistic endeavors.
Like a phantom in the window
A recurrent theme or idea that's barely noticeable.
In the corner of your eye
An unnoticed presence that draws attention subtly.
I finally had to notice that I'm fighting the wrong fight
Realization of being engaged in an incorrect or misguided struggle.
Like a demon in a day dream
Describing a troubling or haunting presence in thoughts.
Or a siren in the night
Comparing a disturbing presence to a captivating but dangerous entity.
I finally had to notice that you bark more than you bite
Realization that someone's threats or actions lack force or follow-through.
You bark more than you bite
Reiterating that someone's actions don't match their threats.
Tethers breaking
The singer feels liberated as constraints are loosening.
I'm awaking
Coming to awareness or becoming conscious after being restrained.
Like a phantom in the window
A subtle or unnoticed presence that attracts attention indirectly.
In the corner of your eye
Realization of being engaged in an incorrect or misguided struggle.
I finally had to notice that I'm fighting the wrong fight
Comparing a troubling presence to a captivating but dangerous entity.
Like a demon in a day dream
Describing a disturbing or haunting presence in thoughts.
Or a siren in the night
Highlighting the discrepancy between threatening behavior and actual action.
I finally had to notice that you bark more than you bite
Reiteration of someone's lack of follow-through in their actions.
You bark more than you bite
Stressing the discrepancy between words and actions.
Bite
An emphasis on the incongruity between the person's threats and their actual behavior.
