Evan's Bitter Symphony: Unraveling the Shadows of Power and Betrayal
Lyrics
What could I say that is equally scathing
Expressing a desire to criticize or condemn with words.
What could I steal that equates what you've taken
Reflecting on what can be stolen to match the loss experienced.
No breath I breath could keep my chest from breaking
Feeling intense emotional pain that seems insurmountable.
Worst kind of whiskey, lurking and preying
Describing a negative and predatory type of influence, possibly linked to alcohol.
Cheap Mr. Williams, handle and spout
Referring to someone as "Mr. Williams" in a derogatory manner, associating with a container and spout.
Put the truth in a tumbler and watered it down
Putting the truth in a tumbler and diluting it, suggesting a distortion of reality.
Doesn't it kill you to knock it about
Questioning the impact of confronting the truth.
Well I can pour it out
Expressing a willingness to reveal or confront the truth.
Evan, Evan, locked out of heaven
Addressing someone named Evan, depicting a challenging life and the negative effects of their influence.
Such a hard life in the suburbs and bedroom
-Evan, Evan, what the hell happened
-Drank too much of you and now I'm no better
-The touch, the taste, the thought of you is sour
-You don't think of me, you just want the power
-I've had enough and the secret is ours
-Now you cower, fuck your power
-Who's got the power now
Asserting a shift in power dynamics.
Beat me over my head with your conscience
Highlighting the impact of moral and honest actions, juxtaposed with the aftermath of trauma.
Quite a feat to be a man who's moral and honest
-Say you're half there when I'm fully unconscious
-But have your dirty pictures of the fallout of trauma
-Cheap Mr. Williams, handle and spout
Repeating the theme of diluting the truth and questioning its consequences.
Put the truth in a tumbler and watered it down
-Doesn't it kill you to knock it about
-Well I can pour it out
-Evan, Evan, locked out of heaven
Reiterating the struggles caused by Evan's influence and reclaiming power.
Such a hard life in the suburbs and bedroom
-Evan, Evan, what the hell happened
-Drank too much of you and now I'm no better
-The touch, the taste, the thought of you is sour
-You don't think of me, you just want the power
-I've had enough and the secret is ours
-Now you cower, fuck your power
-Who's got the power now
Asserting a change in power dynamics.
You're cheap liquor, you're so far from smooth
Describing Evan as cheap liquor and detailing the consequences of excessive drinking.
You're tall and you're heady, you don't know the moves
-So you pour half a bottle past seventeen shots
-And you get what you want, and I get what I got
-Seventeen shots and you get what you want
-You get what you want
Affirming the attainment of desires, but hinting at undesirable outcomes.
You get what you want
-You get what you want
-And here's what you don't
Hinting at the negative consequences or aspects of the situation.
Evan, Evan, locked out of heaven
Repeating the narrative of Evan's negative impact and reclaiming power.
Such a hard life in the suburbs and bedroom
-Evan, Evan, what the hell happened
-Drank too much of you and now I'm no better
-The touch, the taste, the thought of you is sour
-You don't think of me, you just want the power
-I've had enough and the secret is ours
-Now you cower, fuck your power
-Who's got the power now
-Evan
Repeating the name Evan, possibly emphasizing the significance of this person.
