Complicated Situation
Unraveling the Layers: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Complicated Situation
Lyrics
Well everything's so different now, this scream which fills the air,
Expressing a significant change in the current situation, with a noticeable scream in the air.
And haunts the hall which children sleep upon the floor,
Describing a haunting atmosphere in a hall where children are sleeping on the floor.
They'll have the gun, you'll hear them say with smiles meant to cry,
Referring to someone having a gun, possibly with deceptive smiles that hide true emotions.
As they wind the watch strapped on the wrist and quickly look away,
Depicting a person winding a watch on their wrist and avoiding eye contact.
And four and six have come and gone, five times before this scene,
Highlighting the passage of time, mentioning the repetition of a scene five times.
And upon the lips of everyone, the curse I've never dreamed,
Describing a curse on everyone's lips, something unimaginable.
Yeah, upon the lips of everyone, the curse I've never dreamed.
Reiterating the presence of a curse on everyone's lips.
It's a complicated situation,
Acknowledging a complex and challenging situation.
It's a complicated situation mama,
Repeating the acknowledgment of a complicated situation, addressing it to "mama."
I'm a complicated situation.
Stating that the speaker himself is a complicated situation.
The young must be our sacrifice, they say with crippled grins,
Indicating that the young must be sacrificed, portrayed with twisted grins.
The eyes of youth must lose their way and stumble here within,
Suggesting that the eyes of the youth must lose their way and face challenges.
So the sleeping children were awoke, in time to haze their eyes,
Describing the awakening of sleeping children, exposing them to a confusing reality.
So it's never known on which they choke's worth books of old and time,
Highlighting the uncertainty of what causes discomfort or trouble, possibly related to old books and time.
So it's never known on which they choke's worth books of old and time.
Reiterating the uncertainty mentioned in the previous line.
It's a complicated situation,
Repeating the acknowledgment of a complex and challenging situation.
It's a complicated situation mama,
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a complicated situation, again addressing it to "mama."
I'm a complicated situation.
Stating again that the speaker himself is a complicated situation.
