Daggers
Echoes of Regret: Can't Swim's Melodic Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
We looked through photos of the past
We reminisce about events captured in photographs from the past
And we come to terms with
Coming to accept or understand
How good we all had it back then
Reflecting on how good things were in the past
As if we hadn't noticed
As if we were oblivious to the goodness of the past
Countless years of countless fights
Numerous years filled with numerous conflicts
Always left me hanging on
Conflicts that consistently kept me emotionally attached
We cut them up and threw them out to forget
We discard memories to try and forget
If you blame your past for everything
If you attribute everything to your past
The past is all you'll ever be
Your past will define your entire existence
I'll show you what it's like to be alone
I will demonstrate the experience of loneliness
It's all I've ever known
Loneliness is all I've ever experienced
My oldest friend don't leave me
Referring to someone close who has been there for a long time
Please don't leave me hanging on
A plea not to be abandoned or left emotionally hanging
I drive into the town we left
Driving back to the place we departed
And I come to notice
Realizing the negative impact the town had on us
It chewed us up and spat us out
The town consumed and discarded us, causing a loss of focus
And made us lose our focus
Countless conflicts endured for too long
Countless years of countless fights
Where I held on for an extended period
Where I held on way too long
Referring to challenges that were dealt to be forgotten
These are the cards that we were dealt to forget
If you attribute everything to your past
If you blame your past for everything
Your past will define your entire existence
I swear it's all you'll ever be
Acknowledging deserving more but continually providing less
Deserving more but I keep giving you less
Acknowledging difficulty and causing stress
I know it's hard and I keep causing you stress
Our progress is hindered, and the town has a negative impact
It's slowing us all down we're swallowed by this town
Engaging in risky behavior to make ends meet, but facing challenges
Throwing dice behind the alley at night
Describing the struggle of making a living behind the scenes
To try and pay the rent but nothing goes right
Financial struggles leading to frustration and nothing going well
It's slowing us all down we're swallowed by this town
Our progress is hindered, and the town has a negative impact
I blame the past for everything I am
Attributing personal qualities and experiences to the past
I can't hide it
Unable to conceal or suppress it
