Swallow, Don't Spit It Out
Swallowing Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Allegory in Christopher Allan Diadora's Song
Lyrics
Slithering along the flow that grows on glow
Metaphorical description of movement along a radiant path.
Alibis are always shown on bones you own
Suggesting that excuses or justifications are evident in one's actions.
Have I ever seen you, dear?
Questioning familiarity with someone.
Never ever ever...
Emphasizing the absence of prior acquaintance.
Gloss will never feel so run down
Indicating that superficial attractiveness won't endure hardship.
Swallow whatever you can
Encouraging acceptance or endurance of difficulties.
Don't spit it out
Advising against rejecting or resisting challenges.
Ain't gonna change
Expressing resistance to change.
I know hate is the key
Acknowledging hatred as a motivating force.
You've got to hit, trick, kick
Describing a sequence of actions leading to becoming numb or indifferent.
And then you're a drinking machine
Linking numbing actions to a mechanical state.
Let me hear you scream
Invoking a call for expression, possibly through defiance or rebellion.
It's a better way to let in
Suggesting an alternative, more positive approach to accepting.
Cuz everybody's gonna keep you running
Highlighting the inevitability of challenges that keep one active.
It ain't gonna stop falling down on the floor
Stating the persistence of challenges or troubles.
Heaven's got bloodshot
Symbolizing a tainted or troubled state in an idealized realm.
Now you can't drink anymore
Implying consequences for excessive indulgence or escapism.
Bending your knees is a better way to let out
Proposing a physical release as a healthier way to cope.
Not everybody wants to keep it warning
Suggesting not everyone appreciates forewarnings or caution.
Ain't got nothing but the lip that you wore
Having only a superficial or deceptive covering.
(Standing back, standing back tho)
Reiterating a distant or detached stance.
Here lies the life in the club that you hope
Describing a party or social scene with a certain expectation.
(Standing back, standing back tho)
Repeating the idea of distance or detachment in a social setting.
Pains are ringing around, then what for?
Pondering the purpose or justification for enduring pain.
(Standing back, standing back tho)

Here lies the life in the club that you hope
Reflecting on the expectation associated with a social environment.
