The Big Gundown
The Big Gundown: A Reckoning of Reflection and Redemption
Lyrics
I’ve crossed the greatest mountains
I have overcome significant challenges.
And I’ve sailed ‘bout every ocean
I have experienced various aspects of life.
I’ve seen as many faces as I’ve seen the same reaction
I've encountered different people with similar reactions.
But yours does tell me something
Your reaction provides insight or information.
These eyes I’ve seen them dying
I've witnessed the pain or decline in these eyes.
These eyes kept me from sleeping
These eyes have caused insomnia.
The final countdown’s ticking
A decisive moment is approaching.
We go down, this is it , I have found the culprit
We are facing a critical situation, and I've identified the culprit.
But I’ve been thinking to myself, I am the same, a bandit
Reflecting on oneself, acknowledging being a bandit.
We go down, this it is, we go down the misfits
We are heading towards a downfall, embracing our misfit status.
Through our blood and from our hearts, we play a game we won’t quit
Commitment to a game from the heart, unwilling to quit.
I can’t remember
A moment of forgetfulness or confusion.
Just let me think, who should I be running after?
Contemplating who to pursue or follow.
I can’t remember
Another instance of forgetfulness.
Just let me think you’ve fooled me once, not forever
Being fooled once but not indefinitely.
You can look around, you can never see me
Invisibility or difficulty in being noticed.
I could have sworn, when I’ll find, those sons of bitches left me blind
Feeling deceived or abandoned by others.
I’m the sheer reflection of the man you could be
Representing the potential in oneself.
Miserably confined
Trapped in misery or constraints.
We share a grudge, we share a passion for the limits we defined
Shared resentment and passion for defined limits.
I don’t know, I don’t care, I’ll find a way to get there
Undecided or indifferent, determined to find a way.
Something’s working up my mind, you tell me now or beware
Something is preoccupying the mind, a warning.
I don’t know, I don’t care, I reckon this is nowhere
Uncertain and indifferent, possibly feeling lost.
Something’s working up my mind, don’t you dare
Something is bothering the mind, a caution.
One right doesn’t make us all wrong
Recognizing that one right action doesn't justify all wrongs.
If this is judgement day, well I was on my way ‘cause this is where I belong
If facing judgment, it's where the person belongs.
I’ll make them pay for every other crooked vulture of their kind
Seeking retribution for the actions of a corrupt group.
This is a big gundown
A significant confrontation or showdown.
Ride away with every demons that I wished I left behind
Leaving behind past struggles with demons.
They’ll come around
Expecting a change or resolution.
This is a big gundown
Anticipating a significant confrontation or reckoning.
