Homewrecker
Homewrecker: Battling Demons of Betrayal and Self-Destruction
Lyrics
What you did ruined looking back
Reflecting on actions that had a negative impact in hindsight.
I thought you'd made a change, got your life on track but I've got a feeling you're sinking fast
Initial belief in positive change, but sensing a relapse or downfall.
Anchored down by all the weight, I gotta get out now
Feeling weighed down and the urgency to escape a difficult situation.
Before I detonate but I've got a feeling I've lost my grasp
Fear of losing control, a sense of instability.
See, I've been through every motion but the outcome doesn't change
Repetition of efforts without achieving a different outcome.
You need a way out
Suggesting the person needs help or an escape route.
I think you're stuck again
Feeling trapped or stuck in a problematic situation.
It's like a comedown
Comparing the situation to a come down, possibly from substance use.
Those pills were not your friends
Highlighting the negative consequences of substance abuse.
Feelings I can't abide
Expressing emotions that are difficult to tolerate.
Take a look from the other side
Encouraging a different perspective or understanding.
You should probably stop tonight
Suggesting the need to stop certain behaviors for the night.
You homewrecker
Labeling the person as a homewrecker, possibly implying relationship destruction.
Always feeling your running backwards
Describing a sense of regression or backward movement.
Looking for that never happy ever after
Searching for an elusive and lasting happiness.
Same old story, so fucking boring, full of cliches but you just ignore them
Criticizing a repetitive and unoriginal storyline, ignored by the person.
I though I heard you say
Recalling a statement about the lack of value in stealing hearts.
Single hearts are not worth stealing
Expressing disappointment in the person's actions.
Imagine my dismay
Reacting to the revelation of lies with disappointment.
Your lies aren't worth repeating
Reinforcing the unimportance of repeating deceitful actions.
You need a way out
Reiterating the need for an escape from the situation.
I think you're stuck again
Repeating the feeling of being stuck or trapped.
It's like a comedown
Comparing the situation again to a come down, emphasizing negative consequences.
Those pills were not your friends
Reiterating the harm caused by substance abuse.
Feelings I can't abide
Stating the difficulty of tolerating certain emotions.
Take a look from the other side
Encouraging a different perspective or understanding, repetition from line 11.
You should probably stop tonight
Repeating the suggestion to stop certain behaviors for the night.
You homewrecker
Reiterating the label "homewrecker," emphasizing the negative impact.
You should probably stop tonight
Repeating the suggestion to stop certain behaviors for the night.
It's like the summer rain came to dowse the fire but the air's still thick with smoke
Using weather metaphors to describe attempts to extinguish a situation, yet remnants remain.
I know that sometimes we all gamble with desire
Acknowledging the common human tendency to take risks with desires.
It's just what helps us cope
Recognizing coping mechanisms, even if risky.
I know that
Repetition, possibly emphasizing understanding the situation.
Those pills were not your friends
Reiterating the negative consequences of substance use.
Don't look back
Advising against dwelling on the past.
Another chapter ends
Recognizing the end of a particular chapter or phase.
I'm trying to forget this, the truth is what you make it
Expressing a struggle to forget, emphasizing the subjective nature of truth.
It's like the summer rain came to dowse the fire but the air's still thick with smoke
Repeating the weather metaphors to describe incomplete resolution.
I know that sometimes we all gamble with desire but It's just what helps us cope
Acknowledging the inevitability of taking risks with desires as a coping mechanism.
