Ace In The Hole
Navigating Life's Gambit: Unveiling the Wisdom in 'Ace In The Hole'
Lyrics
Sad times, may follow your tracks
Sad times may accompany your journey
Bad times, may bar you from Sak's
Difficult times may prevent you from entering Sak's (possibly referring to Saks Fifth Avenue, a luxury department store)
At times, when Satan in slacks
During certain moments, when evil or temptation is subtly present
Breaks down your self control
When challenges test your willpower and restraint
Maybe, as often it goes
Possibly referring to the uncertainty and unpredictability of life
Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose
Someone named "Abe-y" may grow weary or lose interest in his romantic partner ("rose")
So baby, this rule I propose
The speaker suggests a rule or piece of advice
Always have an ace in the hole
Always be prepared with a hidden advantage or resource
Sad times, may follow your tracks
Reiteration of the idea that challenging times may follow you
Bad times, may bar you from Sak's
Reiteration of the idea that difficulties may prevent you from accessing a high-end establishment like Sak's
At times, when Satan in slacks
Reiteration of the presence of temptation or challenges personified as Satan in a cunning guise
Breaks down your self control
Reiteration of facing tests of self-control during challenging times
Maybe, as often it goes
Continuation of the unpredictable nature of life
Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose
Continuation of the idea that romantic partners may lose interest or become tired in a relationship
So baby, this rule I propose
Reiteration of the speaker offering a rule or suggestion
Always have an ace in the hole
Emphasis on the importance of always having a hidden advantage or resource
Always have an ace in the hole
Final emphasis on the advice to always be prepared with a hidden advantage
