Turn Your Back
Midnight Shadows: Unveiling the Enigma in Hot Breath's 'Turn Your Back'
Lyrics
Prepare for the quickening,
Prepare for an imminent change or acceleration in events
Never know who's listening
Be cautious as you never know who might be paying attention
It may be creatures everywhere,
Suggesting the presence of unknown beings or challenges
May be your mind that brings despair
Implying that one's own thoughts or mindset could lead to distress
Cause every night you're physical,
Physical engagement every night contrasted with invisibility at midnight
At midnight you're invisible
Highlighting a dual nature or hidden aspect of the individual
Watch your step it might be the last
Cautioning about potential dangers, emphasizing the importance of vigilance
Take what you need and grab it fast
Encouraging a swift and assertive approach to seizing opportunities
Just turn your back, I might be gone
Suggesting a departure or disappearance when one's back is turned
Burns in the dark to the red at dawn
Indicating challenges or hardships that intensify during the night
Suppress the journeys you have been on
Urging the suppression of past experiences or struggles
Just turn your back, I might be gone
Reiterating the potential disappearance when attention is diverted
Burns in the dark to the red at dawn
Re-emphasizing challenges intensifying in the dark until sunrise
With one hand I'm holding on
Describing a precarious grip or connection
Your back and I might be gone, I might be long gone
Highlighting the uncertainty of the person's presence or absence
Stranger in a land you're passing through,
Depicting a sense of being a stranger passing through an unfamiliar place
In between the sky of blue
Referencing a transitional state between calm and uncertainty
Don't be scared when gravity fails,
Advising not to fear when faced with a loss of gravity or stability
Don't be scared being clawed with nails
Discouraging fear even in the face of potential harm
You're all dressed up in a mask of tragedy,
Describing a facade of sorrow or tragedy worn by the person
Expect no mercy
Setting the expectation of receiving no compassion or leniency
You're just another written page,
Portraying the individual as just another entry in a history of anger
In a book of deadly rage
Emphasizing the dangerous nature of the person's existence
Just turn your back, I might be gone
Repeating the theme of potential disappearance when attention is diverted
Burns in the dark to the red at dawn
Reiterating challenges that intensify in the dark until sunrise
Suppress the journeys you have been on
Encouraging the suppression of past journeys or struggles
Just turn your back, I might be gone
Restating the potential disappearance when attention is diverted
Burns in the dark to the red at dawn
Re-emphasizing challenges intensifying in the dark until sunrise
With one hand I'm holding on
Describing a precarious grip or connection
Your back and I might be gone, I might be long gone
Highlighting the uncertainty of the person's presence or absence
Just turn your back, I might be gone
Repeating the theme of potential disappearance when attention is diverted
Back I might be gone, burns in the dark to the red at dawn
Reiteration of the challenges intensifying in the dark until sunrise
With one hand I'm holding on
Describing a precarious grip or connection
Just turn your back I might be gone,
Re-emphasizing the potential disappearance when attention is diverted
Back I might be gone
Reiteration of the uncertainty of the person's presence or absence
Back I might be gone
Final repetition of the possibility of the person being gone
