I've Got a Gun
Guardian of Solitude: Christina Martin's Powerful Anthem
Lyrics
Please don't put me in this place
Request not to be placed in a difficult situation.
I've got a gun and I'm prepared to use it
Asserting possession of a firearm and willingness to use it.
Please don't knock until I'm free
Asking not to disturb until free.
It might be midnight I'll be sleeping
Indicating potential sleeping time, possibly midnight.
Take your chances with my bullet and me
Encouraging others to take a risk with the possibility of facing the consequences (being shot).
(I've got a gun)
Reiteration of possessing a gun.
You might think that your company is good to me
Suggesting that someone's company isn't beneficial and advising them to prepare for the worst.
Leave your last wishes with your family
Advising someone to leave their final messages for their family, implying potential danger.
Please don't think that I won't shoot
Warning against assuming non-violence.
I will protect my solitude
Expressing the intent to defend personal space and privacy.
I'll kill the time you're expecting of me
Intending to prevent the waste of time demanded by others.
I've got a gun
Repetition emphasizing the possession of a gun.
I've got a gun
-I've got a gun
-I've got a gun
-When the time comes
Suggesting a moment of decision where consequences will occur, implying a turning point.
Your head will turn, plans will burn
Implying consequences for actions taken, signifying the end of certain plans.
Leave the black Dahlias by the side of my road
Metaphorically leaving behind past events or individuals (black Dahlias) along the speaker's journey.
Please stop praying that I'll stay
Requesting not to hope or pray for the speaker's continued presence.
For you and me there is no way
Stating there is no future together for the speaker and the addressed person.
Run off before you are taken away
Advising to escape before facing negative consequences or being captured.
I've got a gun
Reiteration emphasizing the possession of a gun.
I've got a gun
-I've got a gun
-I've got a gun
