The Sore
Unraveling Youth: The Sore's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Grew a couple inches since those poor decisions
Growing physically after making some poor decisions in the past.
Rushing into an early youth
Rushing into adulthood at an early age.
Making new discoveries
Exploring new things and experiences.
Yet nothing to discover me
Despite new experiences, feeling undiscovered or not understood.
15 turning 32
Feeling older (32) than the actual age (15), possibly due to life experiences.
I think he just wants to lie
Suspecting someone's desire to deceive or mislead.
Over yonder 'til this passes by
Seeking refuge or avoiding reality until a difficult situation passes.
And even if they asked him why
Even if questioned, the person would attribute actions to the speaker (I).
He'd say that it was all because of I
Blaming the speaker for their actions.
I'm the ashes that you drunk to soothe the pain
Being the aftermath of someone's attempt to numb emotional pain with substances.
I'm the sore you made
The speaker is the pain or source of distress for someone.
Ears itch from what comes out of my own mouth
Feeling uncomfortable or regretful about one's own words.
Hearing falsehoods, spoke out loud
Hearing and acknowledging false statements spoken aloud.
Don't mistake me for the key to get you out
Clarifying that the speaker is not the solution to someone else's problems.
I swear I'm nothing to make you proud
Asserting that the speaker is not someone to be proud of.
I think he just wants to lie
Reiteration of someone's desire to lie or avoid reality.
Over yonder 'til this passes by
Continuation of seeking refuge until a difficult time passes.
And even if they asked him why
Even if questioned, attributing actions to the speaker (I).
He'd say that it was all because of I
Blaming the speaker for their actions.
I'm the ashes that you drunk to soothe the pain
Reiteration of being the aftermath of someone's attempt to numb emotional pain.
The cold wind on your neck in the rain
Describing the speaker as the cold wind on the neck during rain, possibly representing discomfort.
The smile that you're so happy to fake
The speaker is the forced smile that someone pretends to be happy with.
I'm the sore you made
Reiteration that the speaker is the source of pain for someone.
I'm the sore you made
Repetition emphasizing that the speaker is the source of pain.
I'm the sore you made
Continued repetition emphasizing the speaker's role in causing pain.
I'm the sore you made
Final repetition underscoring the idea that the speaker is the cause of the sore or pain.
