Everything Follows
Navigating Fate and Last Chances: Beat Radio's Everything Follows
Lyrics
I was going somewhere
I was headed towards a destination.
Letting go of what I held so close
Releasing something I held dear.
Cause everything follows
Because consequences inevitably follow.
once you've given up the ghost
Once you've let go completely.
I was on my way home
I was en route to my home.
You were burning in effigy
You were figuratively burning, possibly in distress.
I was singing for the punk rock girls
Singing for a specific group of girls associated with punk rock aesthetics.
With the tattoo sleeves
Girls with tattoo sleeves.
Can't go back to feeling like it did before
Unable to return to the past emotional state.
Cause its just not who we are anymore
Because it doesn't align with who we've become.
You said""its not fate, its just circumstance.""
A rejection of the idea that destiny is at play; it's circumstantial.
And its our last chance
This is presented as a final opportunity.
And its our last chance
Emphasizing that it's indeed the last chance.
But I'm sending transmissions and memories
Sending messages and recalling memories.
And I'm Pounding sonnets into typewriter keys
Expressing thoughts through written words.
Because I can't wake up from this sea sick trance
Feeling stuck in a disorienting state.
And its our last chance
Highlighting the urgency of the final opportunity.
And its our last chance
Reiterating that it's the last chance.
Red and yellow roses
Mention of symbolic roses in red and yellow.
Letters that I sent to you
Referencing letters previously sent.
Paperbacks and mix tapes
Mention of paperbacks and mixtapes as unsuccessful attempts to uplift mood.
I couldn't take away your blues
Unable to alleviate your sadness.
You're an actor's actor
Describing someone as a highly skilled actor.
A luminary of the screen and stage
A notable figure in both film and theater.
Electric apostle
An influential advocate of modern ideals.
Of the modern age
Being an electric spokesperson of the current era.
The show is over now, everything fades away
Recognizing the conclusion of a performance, with everything gradually disappearing.
No more songs to play
No more music left to be played.
Can't go back to feeling like we did before
Unable to revert to past emotions.
Because its just not who we are anymore
As it doesn't align with the current identity.
You said""its not fate, its just circumstance.""
Rejecting the idea of fate, attributing circumstances as the driving force.
And its our last chance
This being presented as a crucial final opportunity.
And its our last chance
Emphasizing the urgency of this last chance.
But I'm sending transmissions and memories
Sending messages and recalling memories persistently.
And I'm Pounding sonnets into typewriter keys
Expressing thoughts through written words consistently.
Because I can't awaken from this sea sick trance
Stuck in a disorienting state, unable to awaken.
And its our last chance
Underlining the urgency of the final opportunity once again.
And its our last chance
Reiterating that it's indeed the last chance.
