Justification
Selfish Choices Echo on I-10: Justification by Against All Authority
Lyrics
How do you sleep at night?!
Expressing disbelief or anger towards someone's actions and questioning their ability to find peace or contentment.
'Cause I lie awake
The speaker remains awake, unable to find rest, due to intense emotional turmoil.
And burn inside
Feeling intense emotional pain or anger.
When I think of all the shit you've done
Reflecting on the negative actions or behavior of the person being addressed.
When I think of all the times
Recalling various instances where attempts were made to understand the motivations behind the actions of the addressed person.
I've tried to understand your motives
Expressing the speaker's efforts to comprehend the reasoning behind the actions of the addressed person.
But they are not justified
Asserting that the motives or actions of the person in question cannot be morally justified.
Because you're only thinking of yourself
Accusing the addressed person of being selfish and only considering their own interests.
But your choices affect all our lives
Highlighting that the choices made by the addressed person have consequences that impact everyone's lives.
Justify your actions
Challenging the addressed person to rationalize or defend their actions.
How does it fell to always
Asking how it feels to constantly believe one is right, implying arrogance or self-righteousness.
Think you're right?
Questioning the certainty the addressed person holds in their beliefs or actions.
You're never wrong
Suggesting that the addressed person never admits fault or wrongdoing.
It's not your fault
Implying that the addressed person avoids taking responsibility for their actions.
Well who's gonna take the blame tonight?
Pondering who will be held accountable for the negative consequences tonight.
I'm lost again on I-10
Expressing being figuratively lost or confused on a specific road (Interstate 10) which may symbolize feeling directionless or uncertain in life.
But it feels like home to me
Despite feeling lost, the place or situation feels familiar and comforting to the speaker.
I don't know where I'm going
Expressing uncertainty about the destination or future path.
But I know where I want to be
Having a clear vision or desire about where the speaker wants to end up despite the uncertainty of the present.
