Tell Me
Ephemeral Choices: Fallen Legacies' Tell Me Chronicles the Thrill and Regret of a Fateful Night
Lyrics
A dark bar on a Friday night
Setting the scene: a dimly lit bar on a Friday night
The faint buzz of a neon light
There's a subtle hum from a neon light
And you catch those eyes under midnight skies
Meeting someone's gaze under the night sky
And you're talking all night and you take her home
Engaging in conversation and eventually taking the person home
And you're both laying there and you're all alone
After intimacy, feeling emotionally alone
You close your eyes and realize
Realizing something significant while reflecting with closed eyes
This night ain't gonna last forever (This night ain't gonna last)
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of the night
So you bask in every second till she's gone
Treasuring every moment until the person leaves
You got oh so close but oh so far
Close but not succeeding
You got oh so close but no cigar
Similar to coming close but ultimately missing the mark
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Viewing a mistake as the best thing to happen
You got oh so close to the blinding light and you trace it all back to that Friday night
Almost reaching a significant moment and tracing it back to that initial Friday night
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Reiterating that the mistake is viewed as a positive
Yeah, It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Re-emphasizing the positivity of the mistake
A little later and that spark is gone
The initial spark or attraction has faded
And those midnight eyes have become withdrawn
The person's eyes have lost their previous allure
And you catch those lies
Realizing deceit or dishonesty
She's cold as ice
The person has become emotionally distant
And you're fighting all night and you sleep alone
Arguments leading to sleeping separately
And her clothes are fitting tighter and her bellies grown
Noticing physical changes indicating pregnancy
And you realize that big surprise
Realizing a major unexpected consequence
That night is gonna last forever (That night is gonna last)
Realizing the permanence of the consequences
So you panic every second till she's gone
Panic and worry about the situation until it's resolved
You got oh so close but oh so far
Reiterating the feeling of almost achieving something
You got oh so close but no cigar
Close to success but falling short
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Seeing a mistake as a significant learning experience
You got oh so close to the edge and fell
Almost reaching a dangerous situation or extreme
You got oh so close to the living hell
Coming close to a terrible situation
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Repeating the idea that the mistake is ultimately beneficial
Yeah, It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Re-emphasizing the positive outlook on the mistake
You're baptized in the crazy glue and a lack of trust is gonna wear on you
Feeling trapped and bound by a situation, lacking trust
When you're young and you're dumb and that righteous indignation possesses you
Being young, naive, and filled with self-righteous anger
You got nine months to the promised land she's going to hold your beating heart in her hand
Counting down to the birth of a child, metaphorically holding the father's heart
And that war of words she wages on you is gonna break that thing in two
Anticipating verbal conflict that will emotionally hurt
You got oh so close but oh so far
Repeating the feeling of almost achieving something
You got oh so close but no cigar
Close but not achieving the desired outcome
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Seeing a mistake as a positive occurrence
You got 99 bottles and you still ain't done
Having many issues or challenges but not resolving them
You got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Having numerous problems but not including a specific one (bitch)
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Viewing the mistake as ultimately beneficial
It's the best mistake you're ever gonna make
Re-emphasizing the positive outlook on the mistake
