Shot in the Dark
Unveiling Inner Battles: "Shot in the Dark" by Bruce Kulick
Lyrics
Out on the street, I'm stalking the night,
Feeling like I'm prowling the streets at night
I can hear my heavy breathing.
Sense of anticipation or anxiety reflected in my breathing
Paid for the kill but it doesn't seem right;
Received payment for a deed, but it doesn't feel morally right
something there I can believe in .
Seeking something genuine and believable
Voices are calling from inside my head.
Hearing inner voices or thoughts
I can hear them, I can hear them,
Continued perception of these inner voices
vanishing memories of things that were said,
Memories fading away, perhaps due to conflicting thoughts or influences
they can't try to hurt me now.
Confident that these memories can't harm me now
But a shot in the dark, one step away from you.
A risky move or decision very close to being made
A shot in the dark, always creeping up on you
An ongoing, persistent threat or danger approaching
Taught by the powers that preach over me
Influenced by authoritative figures who impose their beliefs on me
I can hear their empty reason
Hearing their arguments, which lack substance or truth
I wouldn't listen I learnt how to fight
Choosing not to heed their advice, learned to resist
I opened up my mind to treason
Willfully opening up to ideas that challenge conventional beliefs
But just like the wounded and when it's too late
Similar to the wounded, realizing too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Realization and surrender when it's too late
Never a care for the people who hate
Ignoring those who dislike me, not bothered by their opinions
Underestimate me now
Warning others not to underestimate me
But a shot in the dark one step away from you
Imminent danger very close to affecting you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
Helpless in the face of this impending danger
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
Continuous threat persistently approaching
But just like the wounded and when it's too late
Similar to the wounded, realization comes too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Recognition and surrender when it's too late
Never a care for the people who hate
Disregard for those who harbor dislike
Underestimate me now
Warning against underestimating me
But a shot in the dark one step away from you
Imminent danger very close to affecting you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
Helpless in the face of this impending danger
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
Continuous threat persistently approaching
