Deadly Dice
Wagering Hope: Unveiling the Dice of Despair in Drew South's Melody
Lyrics
Changed my thoughts for you
Expressing a change in thoughts influenced by someone.
I tried
Attempted something.
To feel hopeful
Striving to experience hope.
As we died
Reference to a challenging situation or hardship.
This lie is worsening
Describing a falsehood that is worsening.
Our own
Referring to the personal reality of the speaker.
Reality they say
Commenting on the nature of reality.
Cut open a can of doubt
Metaphorically suggesting skepticism or uncertainty.
Sometimes the harmless kinds roll deadly dice
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of seemingly harmless actions.
Got it all figured out
Claiming understanding or mastery of a situation.
End of my life
Expressing a significant or final moment in the speaker's life.
Often I see a face looking more worse
Observation of a face appearing distressed or deteriorated.
Mirrors break all that burns
Metaphor for shattered illusions or broken self-image.
Break the glass
Directing action to break through a barrier or facade.
Oh God why don't you fix this one
Plea or question to a higher power to intervene or fix a situation.
You know just how much damage I have done
Acknowledgment of the speaker's awareness of their own destructive actions.
I'm feeling sick I'm feeling hate
Expressing negative emotions like sickness and hate.
I killed off every feeling that you've made
Claiming to have eradicated emotions influenced by the other person.
Sometimes the harmless kinds roll deadly dice
Reiteration of the unpredictability of seemingly harmless things.
Got it all figured out
Confident assertion of having everything figured out.
End of my life
