The Uninvited Guest
Uninvited Shadows: A Tale of Regret and Confrontation
Lyrics
Drunk as a sailor
Feeling heavily intoxicated, like a sailor returning from the cold.
As he came in from the cold
Describing the entrance of the person, possibly unwelcome, into a space.
Who let this guy in?
Raising a question about the person's presence.
Who gave him more to drink?
Asking who provided more alcohol to the individual.
Now he sits by the fireplace
Depicting the person seated by the fireplace.
Rubbing his dirty feet
Describing the person's actions of rubbing dirty feet.
I ask him who were you supposed to meet?
Asking the person whom they were supposed to meet.
He looks at me and he's smiling
Observing the person's smiling demeanor but noting a hint of death in their eyes.
But his eyes are filled with death
Warning about the danger behind the person's smile.
Saying man, how could you ever forget?
The person reminding the speaker not to inquire further.
Stop asking, or I'll get angry.
Threatening that continued questioning will lead to anger and an undesirable transformation.
And you won't like me that way
Implying that the person can become unpleasant if provoked.
The invitation came from you
Stating that the invitation to the person came from the speaker and no one else.
and no one else
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the invitation.
I was right in the middle of doing so well
Expressing a sense of being in a positive state before the arrival of the unwelcome guest.
I've been feeling better than I ever felt
Highlighting an improved emotional state.
This ain't the way it was supposed to end
Reflecting disappointment at the unexpected turn of events.
We need to get rid of this uninvited guest
Stating the need to remove the uninvited guest from the situation.
We all become what we fear the most
Commenting on the transformation of individuals into what they fear the most.
Second rate copies of ourselves
Describing people as inferior copies of themselves.
I smash his head against the fireplace
Depicting a violent act against the unwelcome guest.
While he just laughs
Noting the guest's laughter despite the violent action.
Saying you're only hurting yourself
The guest suggesting that the harm is self-inflicted.
I was right in the middle of doing so well
Reiterating the positive state before the intrusion.
I've been feeling better than I ever felt
Reinforcing an improved emotional state.
This ain't the way it was supposed to end
Expressing disappointment again at the unexpected outcome.
We need to get rid of this uninvited...
Restating the urgency to remove the uninvited guest.
Right in the middle of doing so well
Repeating the sense of being in a positive state before the intrusion.
I've been feeling better than I ever felt
Reiterating an improved emotional state.
This ain't the way it was supposed to end
Expressing continued disappointment at the unexpected turn of events.
We need to get rid of this uninvited guest
Reiterating the need to remove the uninvited guest.
