Gravel
Emotional Turmoil: A Narrative of Love, Pain, and Choices
Lyrics
I heard the sound of your bike
I perceived the noise of your motorcycle
As your wheels hit the gravel
As the wheels made contact with the gravel
And your engine in the driveway, cutting off
Your motorcycle's engine stopped in the driveway
And I pushed through the screen door
I pushed through the screen door
And I stood out on the porch
I stood on the porch, contemplating a conflict, urging to fight
Thinking fight, fight, fight, at all costs
Internal conflict, emphasizing the inclination to fight despite costs
But instead I let you in
Against my initial inclination, I allowed you entry
Just like I've always done
Consistent with past actions, I welcomed you inside
And I sat you down and offered you a beer
I offered you a beer and engaged in conversation
And across the kitchen table
While seated at the kitchen table
I fired several rounds
I metaphorically confronted you, expressing discontent
But you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared
Despite the confrontation, you remained present
And you came crawling back to say
You returned, expressing a desire to rectify things
That you wanna make good in the end
A desire to make amends and improve the situation
Oh, let me count the ways that I abhore you
List of reasons detesting you, emphasizing dislike
And you were never a good lay
Poor performance in intimate relationships
And you were never were a good friend
You were never a good friend
But oh, oh what can I say, I adore you
Despite flaws, there's an inexplicable fondness
All I need is my leather
Minimalistic needs, focusing on essentials
One t-shirt and two socks
Essentials include leather, a t-shirt, and socks
I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
Keeping warm by placing hands in pockets
And you can use the engine blocks
Utilizing engine blocks for warmth
We'll ride out to California
Imagining a journey to California, physically close
With my arms around your chest
Arms around the chest, seeking emotional closeness
And I'll pretend this is real
Pretending, cherishing the moment as the preferred reality
'Cause this is what I like best
Expressing a preference for the current situation
You've been juggling two women
Juggling between two women, likened to a foolish circus act
Like a stupid circus clown
Telling us both we are the one
Deceptive behavior, telling both women they are the only one
And maybe you can keep me
Suggesting potential interference with personal happiness
From ever being happy
Despite challenges, determination to find joy
But you're not gonna stop me
Resilience against obstacles to fun
From having fun
So let's go, before I change my mind
Choosing to act before reconsidering
I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
Abandoning the baggage of lies, asserting personal strength
'Cause I am bigger than everything that came before
Self-affirmation, asserting superiority over past challenges
You were never very kind
Negative assessment of kindness in the past
And you let me way down every time
Consistent disappointment, letting down each time
But oh, oh what can I say, I adore you
I heard the sound of your bike
Repetition of the initial scenario
As your wheels hit the gravel
Reiterating the sound of the bike on gravel
And your engine in the driveway, cutting off
The motorcycle's engine stops in the
