You'll Burn Your Eyes Out
Embers of Regret: Carti Ferrari's Haunting Tale of Mistakes and Redemption
Lyrics
I wish that I could keep you safe
Expressing a desire to protect someone
It's clear we both have made mistakes
Acknowledging mutual errors in the past
What I'm saying is everything could blow up in your face
Warning about potential consequences going wrong
There's high chance nothing's going to go your way
Implying a likelihood of things not working out
Left you high and dry even though your standing in the rain
Abandoning despite their vulnerable state
Don't fly too high
Advising caution or restraint
You wearing that black dress again
Noting an intentional action to unsettle emotionally
Just to fuck with my head
Linking emotional turmoil to the other's actions
Haven't had any problems ever since you've been gone and you left
Claiming a lack of issues since their departure
You know it
Asserting a mutual understanding
Too many sins to confess
Admitting to numerous wrongdoings
I know your curious about that
Implying interest or curiosity from the other
I had to get it off my chest
Revealing a need to confess for personal relief
You couldn't handle what I found out
Suggesting the other couldn't handle certain revelations
'Cause baby
You'll burn your eyes out
Cautioning against looking back or revisiting
Don't look back
Advising against dwelling on the past
'Cause baby
You'll burn your eyes out
Repeating the caution about revisiting or dwelling on the past
Lay me down and bury me deep
Expressing a desire for a final rest or end
Praying to a god I don't believe in
Mentioning a lack of faith while seeking solace
Things don't get easier
Stating that situations don't become easier
People came and went before me
Noting predecessors in a similar situation
I really shouldn't be so eager
Recognizing a need to hold back or restrain eagerness
To burn magnesium
Metaphorically referring to causing a bright, intense reaction
I wish that I could keep you safe
Reiterating the desire to protect
It's clear we both have made mistakes
Restating mutual acknowledgment of mistakes
You're on your own, the path you take
Emphasizing the individual's chosen path
Is full of mines and hand grenades
Describing a risky and dangerous journey ahead
What I'm saying is everything could blow up in your face
Repeating warning about potential consequences
There's high chance nothing's going to go your way
Reiterating the likelihood of things not working out
Left you high and dry even though your standing in the rain
Leaving despite the other's difficulties
Don't fly too high
Reiterating caution or advice
'Cause baby
Repeating the caution against looking back
You'll burn your eyes out
Advising against revisiting or dwelling on the past
Don't look back
'Cause baby
Reiterating caution against looking back
You'll burn your eyes out
Warning about potential harm to oneself by revisiting
