Go Take a Swan Dive off the Roof of the Building
Rising from the Shadows: A Triumph Over Bullying
Lyrics
Oh, hey! It's been a while, huh?
Expressing surprise at the passage of time and acknowledging the senior year.
Senior year!
Not applicable; a casual statement about senior year.
Uh, sorry, this is out of the blue
Apologizing for bringing up a topic unexpectedly.
Could I say something?
Requesting permission to share something.
You know, nobody asked for
Expressing disapproval for someone being perceived as arrogant and predicting their downfall.
You to be an asshole
-Oh, nobody asked for you at all
-Yet still you stand so high and mighty
-But I am here to watch you fall
-Look at me now, I'm so much stronger
Asserting personal growth and superiority over the person previously mentioned.
Look at me now, no, look up to me
-Same timid kid you
Highlighting past vulnerability and being a target of bullying.
Used to trip in the hallway
-Same kid you'd bully relentlessly
-You never said sorry
Questioning and condemning the absence of an apology for a hurtful statement.
Do you even feel bad?
-You told me to off myself
-What the fuck was that?
-You missed your chance to say sorry
Criticizing pride, missed apologies, and resulting loneliness.
You were too full of pride
-And now you pushed us all away
-And no one's by your side
-Remember the teasing in the schoolyard?
Recalling negative experiences of teasing, physical harm, and the consequences of life choices.
Remember the bruises, my bloodied nose?
-Oh, how you tossed out all my homework
-Remember that this is the life you chose
-And didn't you know that I adored you
Expressing admiration turning into disappointment and contemplating the value of life.
I cherished every word you said
-Yet still you'd make me feel like shit
-Perhaps you'd be better off dead
-You never said sorry
Reiterating the lack of apology and expressing disbelief at a harmful suggestion.
Do you even feel bad?
-You told me to off myself
-What the fuck was that?
-You missed your chance to say sorry
Emphasizing the consequences of pride, the loss of connections, and isolation.
You were too full of pride
-And now you pushed us all away
-And no one's by your side
-Fuck you!
Using strong language to express deep-seated resentment, frustration, and a desire to break free from a manipulative or hurtful relationship.
I've always wanted to say it
-Oh, fuck you!
-And this stupid game that we're playing
-Yeah, fuck you!
-And your massive ego
-Fuck you!
-And your fucking hollow heart
Condemning the perceived emptiness of the person's heart.
