Boy Scout
Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Briana Harley's 'Boy Scout' Reflections
Lyrics
I have fallen, I have fallen into this sick game
I find myself deeply involved in a troubling situation.
It makes me think I'm setting the rules
I feel like I'm the one establishing the rules, though I may not be.
Guess I'm the one to blame
I acknowledge my responsibility in the situation.
How did I get out of this one, last time I was here?
Reflecting on a similar situation in the past and wondering how I escaped it.
Well, that's right I stuck it out for three years
I persevered through a similar circumstance for three years.
I didn't mean it, mean for this to happen
I didn't intend for this situation to happen.
Can we turn back now?
Expressing a desire to go back in time and change things.
Not that I regret it but I wanna forget it
While not regretting the experience, I want to move past it.
Dear Goddess, show me how
Seeking guidance or assistance from a higher power.
I fear it's too late, don't know how to communicate
Feeling it might be too late to resolve the situation and struggling to communicate.
Toss me that number 2, maybe it can help me erase
Referring to an unspecified object (number 2) that may help erase or forget.
Got to back out now
Deciding to withdraw or retreat from the situation.
I'm in too deep and I'm ready to drown
Feeling deeply involved and ready to face the consequences.
Turn down, this noise is way too loud
Desiring a reduction in external influences or distractions.
I don't have time to figure this out
Expressing a lack of time to understand or solve the problem.
Time to bounce boy scout
Deciding it's time to leave the situation like a Boy Scout would leave a camp.
We can keep pretending, hope there's a happy ending
Suggesting a preference for pretending rather than facing reality.
But the pages are wearing thin
Acknowledging that time is running out for a positive resolution.
Time to shut the book won't take a second look
Deciding to close the chapter without revisiting it.
Superheroes don't always win
Recognizing that not every situation ends favorably like in superhero stories.
The beginning is sweet, and the middle's where we grow
Stating that the beginning of the situation was pleasant, and growth occurred in the middle.
Forget the ending cause that's everything I don't wanna know
Choosing to ignore the ending as it contains unwelcome truths.
Got to back out now
Reiterating the decision to withdraw from the situation.
I'm in too deep, and I'm ready to drown
Reiterating the feeling of being deeply involved and ready for consequences.
Turn down, this noise is way too loud
Reiterating the desire for a reduction in external noise or distractions.
I don't have time to figure this out, no
Repeating the lack of time to understand or solve the problem.
I don't have time to figure this out so
Emphasizing the urgency in not having time to figure things out.
Bye bye, boy scout
Firmly saying goodbye to the situation, likening it to leaving like a Boy Scout.
Bye bye, boy scout
Repeating the farewell to emphasize finality.
Maybe it'll last in another life
Suggesting the possibility of the situation having a lasting impact in another life.
Maybe next time we can get it right
Expressing hope for a better outcome in a future attempt.
Bye bye, boy scout
Repeating the farewell to emphasize closure.
Time to bounce boy scout
Concluding that it's time to leave the situation like a Boy Scout departs.
