Soothe
Soothing Reflections: Nostalgia, Change, and Honest Connections in 'Soothe' by Decent Criminal
Lyrics
Somebody called me on the way to the bridge
Receiving a call while heading to the bridge.
Familiar voice, I've known him since we were kids
Recognizing the caller as a long-time friend from childhood.
It's been so long man, seems I forgot about it
Realizing it's been a while since they last connected.
And when the weekend ends
Reflecting on not wanting to repeat past actions after the weekend.
I never wanna do anything that I did
Expressing a desire to avoid past behaviors.
Just wanted someone I could love in the end
Seeking genuine love in relationships.
And if you want my head
Openness to criticism or harm, suggesting vulnerability.
And if you want me dead
-Take it
-Just tell me somewhere that you wanted to be
Asking for honesty about desired locations or goals.
And I don't give a shit what you think of me
Indifference to others' opinions about oneself.
It's only fair man, that we're honest about it, now
Emphasizing the importance of honesty in relationships.
Remember we were young
Recalling carefree, rebellious youth and enjoyable activities.
We never wanted change, always had so much fun
-Like stealing liquor was my day in the sun
-And if you want my head
Repeating willingness to face consequences or criticism.
And if you want me dead
-Take it
-And if you want my head
-And if you want me dead
-Take it, all
-Take it all
Stressing complete surrender or acceptance.
'Cause I'm soothing now
Expressing a state of calm or contentment now.
My friends like heavy metal
Contrasting personal musical preferences with friends' interests.
My friends are all about it
-I don't like heavy metal
-Don't give a fuck about it
-My friends like heavy metal
-My friends are all about it
-I don't like heavy metal
-Don't give a fuck about it
-And if you want my head, and if you want me dead
Reiterating the readiness to accept any negative outcome.
Just fucking take it
-All
-Take it all
-And if you want me head
Continued expression of being in a soothing state.
And if you want me dead
-And if you want my head, know my friend
-I'm soothing now
-My friends like heavy metal
Revisiting the theme of musical preferences and indifference.
My friends are all about it
-I don't like heavy metal
-Don't give a fuck about it
-My friends like heavy metal
-My friends are all about it
-I don't like heavy metal
-Don't give a fuck about it
-And if you're mad I changed, take a look at you
Challenging others to self-reflect before criticizing personal changes.
And let me in
