Lyrics
After 29 years
Reflecting on 29 years of life
On the stroke of 13
At the age of 13, a significant moment
I woke up from my life
Awakening to the realization of one's existence
Like it was all just a bad dream
Life felt like a disturbing dream
My get up and go
Losing motivation and energy
Had just got up and split
Motivation disappearing abruptly
After you ground me under your heel
Feeling oppressed or mistreated
Like a spent cigarette
Being discarded or treated as worthless
When your memory's crashed
Recalling a moment of emotional breakdown
When your out on the tiles
Enjoying a carefree lifestyle
Just remember that
Advice to remember universal love for a good person
Everyone loves a good kid
Appreciating those who handle defeat gracefully
Who can loose with a smile
Valuing a positive attitude in adversity
When they break both your legs
Being unsympathetic when someone is in trouble
Don't come running to me
Refusing help when someone you mistreated seeks it
And baby if you were drowning
Not willing to assist in dire situations
I'd throw you a funeral wreath
Ironically offering a symbol of mourning
When I burn this place down
Expressing intent to destroy a place
I'll make sure you're around
Ensuring someone witnesses the destruction
Girl, I want you to see
Wanting someone to see joy amidst chaos
The big smile on my face
Enjoying the moment of departure
As I hitch a ride out of town
Leaving town with a positive outlook
Well, I ain't gonna come to your party
Refusing to attend a celebration
But baby, I'm sure gonna dance on your grave
Expressing a desire to celebrate someone's demise
It's the least I can do
Doing the minimum to mark time spent in a difficult situation
For the time that I spent as your slave
Reflecting on a period of subjugation or servitude
