Now We're Even
Navigating the Edge of Redemption: Brennan Savage's Reflections
Lyrics
It ain't easy being with me
Expressing the challenges of being in a relationship with the speaker.
If I were you, then I would leave me
Suggesting that if the listener were in the speaker's position, they might choose to leave.
And move along, I know it feels so wrong, yeah, yeah
Acknowledging that moving on may feel wrong but is necessary.
Love me from a distance
Desiring emotional connection from a distance.
But don't give up, I need persistence
Encouraging persistence despite the challenges.
And need a push in the right direction
Expressing the need for guidance in the right direction.
Even if it feels wrong, yeah (feels wrong)
Embracing the discomfort of the situation.
Baby how you doing? We ain't spoke in a minute
Checking in on the listener after a period of non-communication.
Last time, I was loaded, I was pushing my limits
Recalling a past encounter where the speaker was intoxicated and pushing limits.
And you said I did something that I know that I didn't
Addressing a misunderstanding where the listener accused the speaker of something they didn't do.
Always making me wild, and make it seem like I'm tripping
Feeling provoked and accused, portraying a sense of confusion.
I'm so close to the edge
Expressing emotional vulnerability and the proximity to a breaking point.
I already know you gonna miss me when I'm dead
Anticipating being missed after death, suggesting a troubled state of mind.
A lotta things that I'll always regret
Acknowledging regrets in life.
But I've been doing my best
Conveying an effort to improve despite past mistakes.
I know I've hurt so many people
Acknowledging the speaker's awareness of causing harm to others.
They would swear that I was evil
Highlighting the perception of being labeled as "evil" by others.
I just need to love myself, before I love anyone else
Stressing the importance of self-love before loving others.
I just need to find a reason to stay alive
Expressing a need to find a reason to continue living.
And keep on breathing
Emphasizing the importance of breathing and survival.
Fool me again bitch, now we're even
Using sarcasm, suggesting that being fooled again has equalized the situation.
Fool me three times, keep on dreaming
Continuing the sarcastic tone, implying that repeated deception is wishful thinking.
I'm so close to the edge
Reiterating the emotional vulnerability and proximity to a breaking point.
I already know, you gonna miss me when I'm dead
Repeating the anticipation of being missed after death.
A lotta things that I'll always regret
Reiterating regrets in life.
But I've been doing my best
Reiterating the speaker's effort to improve despite past mistakes.
I know I've hurt so many people
Reiterating the speaker's awareness of causing harm to others.
They would swear that I was evil
Reiterating the perception of being labeled as "evil" by others.
I just need to love myself, before I love anyone else
Reiterating the importance of self-love before loving others.
I just need to find a reason to stay alive
Reiterating the need to find a reason to continue living.
And keep on breathing
Reemphasizing the importance of breathing and survival.
Fool me again bitch, now we're even
Repeating the sarcastic tone, suggesting that being fooled again has equalized the situation.
Fool me three times, keep on dreaming
Repeating the sarcastic tone, implying that repeated deception is wishful thinking.
