Karate Nipples
Courageous Dance of Love and Humiliation
Lyrics
What a terrible girl, when that terrible girl is me
Self-reflection on being a troublesome or challenging person.
If you fail to feed love it will camouflage itself cowardly
Love needs constant nourishment; otherwise, it will hide itself in fear.
She's puppeteering the heart of a delicate man
Manipulating the emotions of a sensitive man.
That coward girl is yours truly
Admitting to being the cowardly girl in question.
They'll release red balloons in the sky when we die
Imagery of a symbolic celebration or release upon death.
Nurture and structure and put him to bed
Expressing care, guidance, and putting someone to rest.
No one trusts a girl who slouches
Highlighting the importance of confidence in personal character.
I feel complete, satisfactory
Feeling content and fulfilled.
But before you walk with ghosts, be spontaneous again
Encouraging rediscovery of spontaneity before facing challenges.
He's having a laugh, to the tick of our clock
Someone is finding amusement, possibly at the speaker's expense.
He's the upper hand, half full to my heart
A comparison highlighting a disadvantage or imbalance in a relationship.
This humiliation makes you learn to read books
Humiliation as a catalyst for personal growth, emphasizing learning.
And sew old holes, but I still can't spell
Despite personal growth, there are still shortcomings or weaknesses.
(Courage)
A call to courage, possibly as a mantra or reminder.
Stiff drinks half empty become warm
Drinking as a metaphor for facing challenges that become easier over time.
Stagnant, the bastard son
Describing a stagnant or unprogressive situation or individual.
one more time with some feeling, let's give a shot
Encouraging another attempt with genuine emotion or feeling.
Take control of your seasons
Empowering oneself to take charge of life's changes and challenges.
Change color with courage
Suggesting embracing change with bravery and determination.
One more time with some feeling
A repetition of the encouragement to approach life with genuine emotion.
Fuck, let's give it a shot
An explicit expression of determination and readiness to face challenges.
Take control of your courage, and breathe
Taking control of courage and emphasizing the importance of breathing.
(Courage)
A repetition of the call to courage, possibly for emphasis.
They'll release red balloons in the sky
Reiterating the symbolic celebration or release upon death.
When we die
Continuation of the imagery associated with death and its aftermath.
