Come On In
Echoes of Unprepared Loss: Hawks & Wolves Lyrics Decoded
Lyrics
Steady you heart baby, this one might hurt
Prepare yourself emotionally; this experience may be painful.
Bleed on my floor and take back your old habits
Face the consequences of your actions and reclaim your past behaviors.
Just like a friend, searching for heaven too soon
Similar to a friend, searching for happiness too early in life.
I will find your remnants, when you are gone
Even after you are gone, I will discover traces of your existence.
Blow through the glass, cut straight into the hole
Break through barriers and confront difficulties directly.
Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt
Reiteration of the need to brace oneself for potential emotional pain.
Buildings are burning, the people will fall down
Symbolic imagery of destruction and downfall.
Momentum relentless, so steady the senses
Face challenges with a steady mindset due to relentless momentum.
The exits wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance
The aftermath of a recent injury, maintaining a safe distance.
Do the artsy thing and die
Sarcastic reference to engaging in artistic pursuits that may lead to demise.
Someone unprepared will find you
Those unprepared will discover you.
The best surprise is on the unprepared
Surprises are more impactful when not anticipated.
My hope grows no older
Hope remains constant and doesn't age.
Reality keeps its distance
Reality remains distant or disconnected from the speaker.
Could I turn back time, take back a wasted life
Contemplating the possibility of reversing past mistakes.
Or do we only get one
Questioning whether life offers second chances.
Only so much can be forgiven
Forgiveness has its limits.
So let's pretend its supposed to be this way
Choosing to accept the current situation as intended.
Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt
Reiteration of the warning to brace oneself emotionally.
Buildings are burning, the people will fall down
Reiteration of destructive imagery and downfall.
Momentum relentless, so steady the senses
Emphasizing the need to remain steady in the face of challenges.
The exits wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance
Repeating the idea of maintaining distance after an injury.
Do the artsy thing and die
Reiteration of the risks associated with artistic pursuits.
Someone unprepared will find you
Repetition of the idea that the unprepared will find you.
The best surprise is on the unprepared
Repetition of the impact of surprises on the unprepared.
(I wasn't there)
Expression of absence or not being present in a specific situation.
These walls they have eyes
Walls symbolically witness events, including the speaker's absence.
They have seen your demise and I wasn't there
The walls observe the speaker's absence during a moment of downfall.
They've witnessed the loss of all hope, and I wasn't there
The walls have witnessed the loss of hope without the speaker's presence.
No warnings, no screams, you cut loose all your dreams
No warnings or screams, but the abandonment of dreams.
Escaping the end you had planned, and I wasn't there
Escaping a planned end without the speaker's involvement.
Unprepared
Repetition of being unprepared for unexpected events.
Momentum relentless, so steady the senses, yeah
Emphasizing the need to remain steady in the face of challenges, again.
Do the artsy thing and die
Reiteration of the risks associated with artistic pursuits.
Someone unprepared will find you
Repetition of the idea that the unprepared will find you.
The best surprise is on the unprepared
Repetition of the impact of surprises on the unprepared.
