Linoleum
Midnight Redemption: A Tale of Resilience and Redemption
Lyrics
On the shoulders of a first rate fuckup
Feeling burdened by the mistakes of a highly flawed individual
It was half past midnight
The time was around midnight
They said put him down, you can't see straight
Others advised to lay the person down as they were intoxicated
He said I'm alright
The individual insisted that they were fine despite their condition
Then as if to joke he let go
The intoxicated person deliberately let go of something, possibly a joke or their stability
I heard the ring as my bell was rung
Heard a sound indicating impact or collision as the person fell
On the now crimson linoleum
Describing the floor where the fall occurred, now stained with blood
Lifted up, floating back through the door
Being lifted or carried back into the room
Screams of look at what you've done
People reacting negatively to the individual's actions
Wildflowers on the fake veloure
Contrasting delicate beauty against artificial or fake surroundings
I sunk into the cushions
The person feeling deeply comfortable and immersed in their surroundings
They said if you fall asleep you may not leave the dream
Warning against falling asleep, possibly in the context of not waking up again
No, no don't close your eyes
Urging someone not to close their eyes, possibly to prevent passing away
You can stay up all night
Encouraging someone to stay awake throughout the night
I got the call when I was almost home
Receiving distressing news or a call just before reaching home
Turned to stone when I walked in to tell you
Feeling paralyzed or frozen upon entering and delivering the news
All of this, like concussive myths, its not true
Suggesting disbelief in the shocking information, comparing it to unreal myths
No it can't be true
Expressing disbelief in the truth of the situation
Let the poison do what its meant to, its your cross to bear
Accepting the consequences of one's own mistakes or actions
Don't fool yourself into believing they're better off if your not there
Advising not to deceive oneself into thinking others are better off without you
C'mon kid, you've got more fight than this
Encouraging someone to show resilience and fight through difficulties
No, no don't close your eyes
Reiterating the plea to avoid closing one's eyes or falling asleep
You can stay up all night
Encouraging someone to remain awake for the entire night
