Bright Future
Embracing Shadows: Navigating a Bright Future Amidst Broken Promises
Lyrics
I got a bright future, I got some bad habits
The speaker acknowledges having a promising future despite having some negative habits.
You want a blood red street, well you can fucking have it
Expressing a willingness to accept and confront a violent or chaotic situation.
I haven't seen the end but we all heard it before
Uncertain about the future, but familiar with the negative outcomes.
Put on your Sunday best and give me four on the floor
Encouraging someone to dress well and engage in lively, energetic dancing.
I've already beat the odds right down your throat
Claiming to have overcome challenges against all odds.
When your mouth got in the way
A reference to facing obstacles when expressing oneself verbally.
Spinning that bullshit into something we believed
Describing a past situation where false information was turned into something believable.
Can't take it back, damage is done
Regret over irreversible actions; acknowledging that the harm is done.
And I'll look the other way
Willingness to ignore or avoid facing certain realities.
Just to see it's the same
Checking if situations remain unchanged.
Don't you dare speak my name
A warning not to mention the speaker's name.
The words are at my back, the air is getting thin
Feeling pressure with challenges closing in.
I'm where the culture ends, you're where the panic begins
The speaker contrasts their position with someone else's panic-inducing situation.
Don't ask for me to clear the fear, I'm already gone
Refusing to alleviate fear as the speaker has already distanced themselves.
Sit right there, you're nothing, keep doing nothing
Disregarding someone as insignificant and inactive.
I spent lifetimes slowly dragging your dead weight
Having spent a considerable amount of time dealing with someone burdensome.
When your mouth got in the way
A repetition of obstacles encountered when expressing oneself verbally.
Spinning that bullshit into something we believed
Recalling a past instance of turning false information into a believable narrative.
Can't take it back, damage is done
Reiterating the irreversibility of past actions and their consequences.
And I'll look the other way
Willingness to ignore or avoid facing certain realities (repeated).
Just to see it's the same
Checking if situations remain unchanged (repeated).
Don't you dare speak my name
A repeated warning not to mention the speaker's name.
Poisonletter, dig no deeper
Introducing a metaphorical "poisonletter," advising against deeper exploration.
Poisonletter, dig no deeper
Repeating the caution against digging deeper into the metaphorical "poisonletter."
When your mouth got in the way
A repetition of obstacles encountered when expressing oneself verbally.
Spinning that bullshit into something we believed
Recalling a past instance of turning false information into a believable narrative.
Can't take it back, damage is done
Reiterating the irreversibility of past actions and their consequences.
And I'll look the other way
Willingness to ignore or avoid facing certain realities (repeated).
Just to see it's the same
Checking if situations remain unchanged (repeated).
Don't you dare speak my name
A repeated warning not to mention the speaker's name.
I'll look the other way
Continuing to ignore or avoid facing certain realities.
When your mouth got in the way
A repetition of obstacles encountered when expressing oneself verbally.
Spinning that bullshit into something we believed
Recalling a past instance of turning false information into a believable narrative.
Can't take it back, damage is done
Reiterating the irreversibility of past actions and their consequences.
