Revolver
Fading Love and Loaded Choices: Emily Davis' Revolver Tale
Lyrics
I saw you turning the floor with your dress
Observing someone dancing on the floor in their dress.
No one was watching who you trying to impress
Suggesting the person is not seeking external validation.
And that locket that you wear, from your neck to your chest
Highlighting a locket containing a photo of a loved one.
Holds a faded photo of the man you love best
Emphasizing the significance of the faded photo.
I'm watching you fall
Expressing the speaker's helplessness as they witness a downfall.
I can do nothing at all
Stating the inability to take any action in the face of the situation.
Nothing at all
Reiterating the sense of powerlessness.
Sometimes the voices that live in your head
Addressing the internal struggles represented by voices in the head.
Can push you and turn your old heart into lead
Suggesting the potential harm caused by these internal conflicts.
Well if the truth cannot save you then you're better off dead
Positing that truth might not be enough to save someone.
So I'll leave my revolver at the end of the bed
Introducing the metaphor of leaving a revolver at the end of the bed.
I'm watching you fall
Repeating the helplessness of watching someone's decline.
I can do nothing at all
Emphasizing the inability to intervene or make a difference.
Nothing at all
Reiterating the theme of powerlessness.
Wild horses ride through the plains of your heart
Introducing the image of wild horses as a metaphor for inner turmoil.
They will tear you asunder they will tear you apart
Warning of the destructive force of inner struggles.
And if that God that you pray to would set your soul free
Pondering the potential role of faith or spirituality in finding solace.
Then maybe you'll find your way home to me
Expressing hope that the person will find their way back.
I'm watching you fall
Repeating the observation of someone's decline.
I can do nothing at all
Reiterating the inability to take any meaningful action.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the continued sense of powerlessness.
