Stakes Is High
Unveiling the Shadows: Confronting Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
Running from yourself
Running away from one's true self
Afraid of what you're gonna find
Fearful of discovering uncomfortable truths
Face up to what you've done
Facing the consequences of one's actions
Traded in your self respect for.. nothing
Exchanging self-respect for nothing in return
And now you're good as dead in my eyes
Considered morally or emotionally dead in the observer's eyes
Can't back what you've lost in my eyes
Unable to regain what has been lost in the observer's eyes
If you could see yourself
Encouraging self-reflection; questioning one's own actions
This once meant everything
Highlighting the past significance of a certain behavior or relationship
It all means nothing now
Previously meaningful things now hold no value
It all means nothing
Emphasizing the overall insignificance of past actions
You're on your way
Embarking on a path contrary to a previously agreed-upon direction
To something that we said we'd never be
Becoming something that was vowed never to become
It doesn't mean
Challenging the notion that a particular outcome is definitive
That it's the end..
Despite challenges, it doesn't signify the end
Without you
Expressing a sentiment that life continues even without the person in question
Now that you're good as gone..
Confirmed departure or loss
Tell me..
Seeking an explanation for the departure or change
You're on your way to something
Heading towards a destination previously rejected or denied
That we said we'd never..
Reiterating the movement towards an undesirable destination
As good as dead in my eyes
Considered morally or emotionally dead in the observer's eyes (repeated)
Can't back what you've lost in my eyes
Unable to regain what has been lost in the observer's eyes (repeated)
This once meant everything to us
Recalling the past significance of a certain behavior or relationship
This once meant everything
Emphasizing the past importance of something
And now you're.. lost
Expressing a sense of being lost in the present
