Echo Strike's Revisionist: Unmasking Deceit and Facing Consequences
Lyrics
There’s somebody coming
Anticipation of someone's arrival or approach.
For you
Someone is coming specifically for the listener.
Who? I don’t know for sure
The identity of the approaching person is unknown.
What were you trying
Questioning the intent or purpose behind an action.
To prove
Questioning the motive or objective of the listener's actions.
Are you ready for more
Preparing for additional challenges or difficulties.
How much did they pay you
Asking about the compensation or incentive for a decision made.
To choose
Choosing an option contrary to expectations or norms.
The opposite door
Implying that the listener's action was deceptive or insincere.
It looks like you faked it
Suspecting that the listener pretended or deceived.
A ruse
A situation of imminent trouble or conflict.
Now there’s a coming storm
Directly addressing accountability for one's actions.
Don’t try to be slick, you know what you did
Recognizing the wrongdoing or questionable behavior.
I can’t forget how you got your kicks
Remembering the satisfaction gained from misdeeds.
Now I got to come to grips
Feeling the need to confront and accept the consequences.
With all of this
Facing the reality of a complex situation.
The clock has run out of time, your life's on the line
Indicating the urgency or pressure due to a lack of time.
History is made by those who win, in the end
Highlighting the impact of winners on historical narratives.
Revision
A call for reevaluation or reimagining of past events.
You turned your back
Turning away from something or someone.
And assumed
Assuming that certain actions or individuals can be disregarded.
That you can’t ignore
Alleging theft or appropriation of something valuable.
But you stole it
Causing harm or disadvantage to others for personal gain.
And screwed
Feeling exposed or vulnerable to consequences.
Everyone who scored
Indicating consequences faced by those affected by the listener's actions.
Now there’s a target
Becoming the subject of scrutiny or criticism.
On you
Lacking safety or protection due to one's actions.
No place to be secure
Stating the impossibility of reverting to a previous state.
We can't go backwards
Being unable to reverse decisions or circumstances.
To choose
Encouraging perseverance or endurance in a challenging situation.
Hold tight and endure
Reiterating the acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
Don’t try to be slick, you know what you did
Recalling the awareness of past misdeeds or actions.
I can’t forget how you got your kicks
Retaining memories of the pleasure derived from wrongdoing.
Now I got to come to grips
Confronting and dealing with the reality of the situation.
With all of this
Realizing the imminent consequences and the need to face them.
The clock has run out of time, your life's on the line
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation due to time running out.
History is made by those who win, in the end
Highlighting the impact winners have on shaping history.
Revision
A call for reassessment or reevaluation of past actions or events.
Don’t try to be slick, you know what you did
Reiterating the recognition of past misdeeds or questionable actions.
I can’t forget how you got your kicks
Remembering the pleasure derived from past wrongdoing.
Now I got to come to grips
Acknowledging the necessity of facing and accepting consequences.
With all of this
Confronting the complexity and gravity of the situation.
The clock has run out of time, your life's on the line
Stressing the urgency due to the imminent consequences.
History is made by those who win, in the end
Reiterating the impact of winners on historical narratives.
Revision
A call for reevaluation or reconsideration of past events or actions.
