Lyrics
I have a picture, your fist in the air,
I have an image of you raising your fist in protest.
I'm standing behind you, I am still here
I stand behind you and support you; my presence endures.
They're mining your body, the scene of a crime
They are exploiting your body, marking it as a crime scene.
Did they do you one last favor, killing your blood line?
Did they do you a final favor by ending your family line?
I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you
I'm here to ease the burden of those who fought for you and for me.
And fought for me
Expressing solidarity with those who fought for a common cause.
I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate
Seeking understanding, urging to abandon hatred.
The breath of the night jar, the stars in the sky,
Referencing the night jar's breath and stars, alluding to discomfort as a necessary truth.
A killer for comfort, I'm not gonna lie to you
Acknowledging uncomfortable truths, rejecting false comfort.
They paid off the piper with a government gun,
Corruption acknowledged, a metaphorical payment to silence.
Whoever you came for, left all alone
Someone intended for is now abandoned and alone.
Yeah, but I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you,
A repetition of the commitment to support those who fought.
They fought for me
Reiteration of solidarity, emphasizing a shared struggle.
Yeah, I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate
Reiterating the desire for understanding, urging to discard hate.
Our father's house is a house of regret,
Characterizing the ancestral home as a source of remorse.
With rooms I can't sleep in and jokes I don't get
Rooms in the house are unsettling, and some jokes are incomprehensible.
Now you're on your honor to be on my side
The listener is now obligated to support the speaker.
Surely there are some things that won't be denied
Asserting that certain truths cannot be ignored or rejected.
Yeah, I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you,
Reaffirming the commitment to support those who fought.
They fought for me
Reiteration of solidarity, emphasizing a shared struggle.
Yeah, I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate
Reiterating the desire for understanding, urging to discard hate.
