Lyrics
You can't blame the book for what's inside it
You cannot hold the book responsible for its content.
Maybe it's the truth, it ain't for you to decide it, oh
Perhaps the content is true, but it's not your role to judge.
It's like blaming the block that sharpens the blade
Comparing blaming a block that sharpens a blade to assigning blame for something that hurts deeply.
Cuts you to the bone
Describing a painful experience that cuts deeply into one's being.
cuts you to the bone, oh yeah
Reiteration of the profound impact, emphasizing the depth of the pain.
Once you get a taste
After experiencing something once, you are forever changed.
Once you get a taste, oh oh oh
Repeating the idea that once you experience something, it leaves a lasting impression.
Once you get a taste
Reiteration of the enduring impact of an initial experience.
You'll be back for more
After the first encounter, there's an irresistible desire for more.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, hmm
A vocal expression emphasizing the allure of the experience.
You can shoot the messenger, just get the message first
You can criticize the messenger, but understand the message before doing so.
Maybe it's the truth I know the closer that we get, the more it hurts
Recognizing that truths can be painful, especially as relationships deepen.
It's like blaming the sun for shadows in your wake
Comparing blaming the sun for shadows to assigning blame for consequences that follow closeness.
Follow us all,
Encouraging the idea of following, possibly referring to consequences or experiences.
follow us all, yeah
Reiteration of the notion of following, underlining its significance.
Once you get a taste, oh oh oh
Repeating the lasting impact of an initial experience, emphasizing the inevitability of its influence.
Once you get a taste, yeah
Expressing the enduring nature of the impact once a taste is acquired.
Once you get a taste
Reiteration of the lasting impact, suggesting an ongoing desire for more.
You'll be back for more
Highlighting the irresistible pull to return for additional experiences.
You'll be back for more
Underlining the inevitability of returning for additional experiences.
