Friend to You
Unveiling the Dual Nature: Life's Friend and Foe in 'Friend to You'
Lyrics
Death to me, but a friend to you
Death is a negative impact on me, but it benefits you as a friend.
The damn is cracked and pouring through
There is a significant problem or obstacle, and it's breaking apart, affecting me.
Underneath, this thickened skin
Beneath my tough exterior, there are emotional vulnerabilities.
The marks of you i imprint
Your influence has left lasting marks or impressions on me.
In the dark, or the light
Whether in darkness or light, our experiences vary.
Yeah we win, or we fight
We either succeed (win) or engage in conflict (fight).
And i can see the end in sight
I can perceive the conclusion or outcome ahead.
They see me coming, they see me coming
Others notice my approach, my presence is evident.
They see me fall, am i under arrest now?
They witness my downfall, questioning if I am now in custody.
They see me coming, they see me coming
Similar to line 8, the repetition emphasizes the visibility of my arrival.
They see me fall
Reiteration of the observation of my decline or failure.
Unfilled shoes, yet no one knows the
A metaphor for a role or responsibility that is unfulfilled, yet unknown to others.
Thing you are, the thing you are
Emphasizes the mysterious or undisclosed nature of who you truly are.
Collecting dues and slaving for the money
You're paying the price and working hard for financial gain.
Unfilled shoes, yet no one knows the
Repetition of line 12, reinforcing the hidden aspect of your unfulfilled role.
Thing you are, the thing you are
Repetition of line 13, underscoring the enigmatic qualities of your identity.
And now the red is all over me
Now, the consequences or impact are vividly evident on me.
They see me coming, they see me coming
Reiteration of others recognizing my approach.
They see me fall, am i under arrest now?
Similar to line 9, questioning if my failure leads to legal consequences.
They see me coming, they see me coming
Similar to lines 8 and 10, emphasizing the visibility of my arrival.
They see me fall
Repetition of lines 9 and 19, highlighting the observation of my downfall.
