Lyrics
It takes you so much higher
It requires significant effort or experience to reach a higher state.
Just to sit back down
Despite the effort, there's a return to a lower or ordinary state.
You're feeding on their cold smiles
You find satisfaction in insincere or fake smiles from others.
Try to read blank stares
Attempting to understand the intentions behind expressionless faces.
No you don't know half of
There's a lack of awareness about half of the difficulties faced.
The shit we put you through
Others subject you to challenging situations or hardships.
You walked into a nightmare
Entering a situation that feels like a terrifying and unsettling dream.
Waiting to come true
An impending nightmare that is waiting to become a reality.
Take what you think is yours
Claim what you believe rightfully belongs to you.
Take what you think you deserve
Assert your claim to what you believe you should have.
the needle leaves unholy
A needle, possibly metaphorical, causing unholy consequences.
blood across the floor
Visual imagery of blood being spilled on the floor.
A pity prayer to Jesus
An expression of despair or plea directed towards Jesus.
Christ we all give up
A collective surrender or resignation to difficulties.
Take what you think is yours
Reiteration of the need to take what is believed to be deserved.
Take what you think you deserve
Reiteration of the call to claim what is believed to be deserved.
A different choir for the same old song we've all heard
Despite variations, it's the same old message or situation that everyone has experienced.
