The Spanish Dagger
Embracing Fame's Illusion
Lyrics
Well stop cashing me in for a thin line
Stop mistaking me for a fragile situation or a delicate boundary
You're right on track to know what it feels like to lose more than you've ever gained
You're on the right path to understand the feeling of losing more than you've gained in life
Charges pending further investigation
Legal charges are pending further investigation
You've got to expect that you're falling from graces
It should be expected that you're losing favor or prestige
Rehearsing all your persona will need when you're front-page fighting for your dignity
Preparing the different aspects of your personality required for a public battle defending your honor or reputation
I almost taste the the irony
There's a strong sense of irony present
How fiction replaces history
How fictional stories or narratives replace actual history or truth
Use daunted glow to light your page
Use a hesitant or hesitant light to illuminate your writing or expression
You say those feelings of doubt will never cut across your mouth
You claim that doubts won't be spoken aloud
I know that Socrates and impurities are getting you down
The teachings of Socrates and impurities are affecting your mood or mindset negatively
You'll take all they've got to get your fill
You're willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy your desires or needs
Your time is running out
Your time or opportunity is running out
You're getting carried away because no one cares about your fame
You're becoming overly involved because nobody cares about your fame or success
I see the dagger in your name
A metaphorical representation of betrayal or treachery within your identity
Deny your roots for future rain, for future reign
Rejecting your origins for potential future gain or power
Add one more kill to raise your worth
To increase your value, add another accomplishment or victory
It's so sad, cause it's all the truth you have
It's regrettable because the only truth you possess is a sad one
Trade breath for gold
Exchange or sacrifice life for material wealth
There's no Armageddon when banks are there to relieve you
No apocalypse or end of the world when financial institutions are available to assist you
Why prevent yourself to take wealth from someone else
Why hinder yourself from taking wealth or advantages from others
Dare to incite yourself when you're your only foe
Challenge or provoke yourself when you are your own enemy
You're carried away
You're losing control or perspective
Nothing's real about your fame
Your fame or success lacks authenticity
I can see you drown in your own wake
I perceive you sinking in the consequences of your actions
So pale, so thin you'd float away
You seem extremely fragile or weak, almost disappearing
I see you trying so hard
I observe your intense effort or struggle
So no one will ever take your place when you feel the dagger brush your face
You're striving to ensure no one can replace you when you face a significant challenge or betrayal
Well I deny myself what I can take when I can wait and expect the same
I refuse to take something I can have immediately if I can wait and anticipate the same outcome
Incriminated, your teeth still shine over the suffering
You're accused, but your confident demeanor remains despite others suffering
Deceiving trade, but the blade will shine
Your actions might be deceitful, but the wrongdoing will eventually become apparent
