Regret
Navigating Redemption: Cancer Bats' Voyage from Regret
Lyrics
I swear to god, I never meant to break your heart dear
Expressing regret for causing heartbreak unintentionally
If I had to say, couldn't tell you what I was doing
Uncertainty about actions taken, inability to explain
I left one day, for open waters on a course to ruin
Leaving for a destructive path, heading towards ruin
No land in sight, I just drifted where the tides would pull me
Directionless movement, following natural forces
No compass or light, life on a boat will make you miss the country
Lacking guidance, feeling disconnected from home
Anchors aweigh!
Preparing to leave, lifting anchors symbolizing departure
Anchors aweigh!
-I'm here to stay, my days at sea are done
Committing to stay after a period of wandering
I've sailed an ocean of mistakes
Reflecting on numerous past errors
Been given so many chances
Having received many opportunities for redemption
Never again will I set sail towards regret
Determined not to repeat past mistakes
If I could take it all back - oh no
Desiring to undo the actions done in the past
Unlive your past will only rob your future
Realizing that dwelling on the past hinders progress
If I could take it all back - oh no
Understanding that altering the past won't change the present
Unlive the past would never get us to now
Acknowledging that dwelling on the past won't benefit the present
I swear to god, I never meant to mess you around girl
Apologizing for causing confusion or distress to someone
Never was my plan, been floating two years or so
Denying intentional harm, being adrift for a while
Glad I made it to land, despite the rocks and the undertow
Relief at reaching a stable point despite difficulties
No maps or chart, sometimes a journey just takes that long
Accepting the unpredictability of a journey's duration
Call this a fresh start, show that I'm right, prove all those wrong
Intending to start anew, prove others wrong
Anchors aweigh!
Repeating the departure motif, affirming the end of wandering
Anchors aweigh!
-I'm here to stay, my days at sea are done
Reaffirming commitment to stay after a period of drifting
I've sailed an ocean of mistakes
Admitting to a history of significant mistakes
Been given so many chances
Having been given numerous opportunities for redemption
Never again will I set sail towards regret
Determined not to repeat past mistakes
If I could take it all back - oh no
Wishing to undo past actions and decisions
Unlive your past will only rob your future
Recognizing that dwelling on the past impedes progress
If I could take it all back - oh no
Understanding that altering the past won't change the present
Unlive the past would never get us to now
Acknowledging that dwelling on the past won't benefit the present
