Trigger Finger
Coyote Kid's 'Trigger Finger': Unveiling the Dark Dance of Chance
Lyrics
Short breath on your loaded dice
Feeling uneasy or anxious about a risky situation, represented by "loaded dice."
I don't know why you're playing when you only roll snake eyes.
Questioning the motive behind engaging in a risky game when the outcome is consistently negative.
But I'll play along
Willing to participate or cooperate despite reservations.
But not for long
Expressing a limited willingness to continue the involvement in the risky situation.
Blood stain on the kitchen knife
Symbolizing a violent or dangerous act with a kitchen knife and the aftermath represented by a bloodstain.
It wasn't made for it but I know how to improvise
Adapting to unexpected situations, showcasing resourcefulness in the face of danger.
To stay alive. It's not my time to die
Asserting a determination to survive and conveying a belief that it's not the time to face death.
You've got the guts kid but
Acknowledging bravery or courage in someone ("guts kid"), but with a sense of doubt.
Is it enough to turn this around
Questioning whether the displayed courage is sufficient to bring about a positive change in the situation.
And around and around again
Emphasizing a repetitive cycle of events, suggesting a recurring pattern of challenges or difficulties.
I've got two problems but you're just one
Highlighting the presence of multiple problems, with one being particularly dangerous (loaded gun).
The other's tapping on the trigger of a loaded gun
Describing the imminent threat posed by the other problem, involving someone handling a loaded gun.
I'm staring down
Expressing a moment of intense focus or confrontation, possibly facing the threat directly.
Don't let me down
Issuing a plea or command not to fail or disappoint in this critical situation.
You've got a steady hand that's cold to the touch
Describing the person's physical composure, emphasizing a controlled and unemotional demeanor.
You've only got one shot but do you have the guts
Raising a question about whether the person has the courage to take a significant risk with limited chances.
To make it count. Don't let me down
Stressing the importance of making the singular opportunity count and not failing in the crucial moment.
You've got guts kid but
Repeating the acknowledgment of courage but reiterating the uncertainty about its effectiveness.
Is it enough to turn this around
Persisting in questioning whether the displayed courage is adequate to bring about positive change.
And around and around again
Reinforcing the idea of a repetitive and ongoing cycle of challenges or difficulties.
