Dead Man Walking
Rising Shadows: Unveiling the Grit in 'Dead Man Walking'
Lyrics
Old deed...New Breed
Refers to past actions or behaviors contrasted with a new type or group
Don't bleed...Dont Need
Emphasizes avoiding emotional pain or harm, not requiring something
Mad greed-Take heed
Intense desire for wealth or possessions, advice to be cautious or careful
Grow and feed-a bad seed
Encouraging negative growth or development of a problematic individual
Penniless-what a mess
Lacking money, chaotic situation
Never rest-second best
Never settling, always striving for something better than the current situation
Second guess-hopeless
Doubting oneself or one's decisions, feeling without hope
Won't confess-none the less
Refusal to admit guilt or faults despite circumstances
Hell is rising. You're a....
Imminent danger or trouble approaching, accompanied by a derogatory term
Dead man...Walking
Repetition of the phrase "Dead man walking" to emphasize the imminent peril or impending doom
Dead man...old man
-Dead man...Dead man walking
-Impure-cheap whore
Describing impurity and degradation, paired with derogatory language
No cure-endure
Highlighting a situation without a solution, having to endure difficulties
What for-unsure
Questioning the purpose or reason behind a situation, uncertainty
Piss poor-no more
Expressing extreme poverty or low quality, determination to change
Grapevine-shitty wine
Comparing unreliable information or rumors to poor-quality wine
Petty crime-make a dime
Engaging in minor illegal activities to earn money
Flying blind-outta time
Metaphorically suggesting lack of direction and running out of time
Outta sight-outta mind
Being forgotten or ignored, being out of consideration
Hell is rising. You're a....
Repetition of the imminent danger or trouble approaching
Dead man...Walking
Repetition of the phrase "Dead man walking" to reinforce the looming threat
Dead man...old man
-Dead man...Dead man walking
