Unveiling Shadows: Johnny Booth's Poetic Tale of Struggle and Deceit
Lyrics
I've been living under the gun and it's taking aim
The speaker feels constantly threatened and targeted.
For all the hearts of the faithful, the blinded, the weakest minded
Refers to various groups: the devoted, the deceived, and the vulnerable.
The ones who can't speak
Refers to those who are unable to express themselves.
We never knew what were up against 'til it's too late
Realization of the threat only after it's too late to prevent it.
A restless crowd on the hunt for a victim
A restless, aggressive crowd seeking a target.
A headless presence rips us open
An unseen force causes emotional or physical damage.
You took the first step just to be roped in
Beginning an action but being trapped or ensnared.
The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors
Continuing to hold onto damaging elements despite a lost cause.
Citizens die with their eyes open
People dying while aware of their surroundings.
Citizens will die with their eyes wide open
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the awareness of death.
Restrained by our fate
Feeling restricted or controlled by destiny.
This is accepted by most, desired by fearless serpents
Accepted by many and desired by those who are bold and without fear.
The graves that we dug
Metaphorical graves dug by past actions or decisions.
Were always way too shallow
Mistakes made were not fully thought through or acknowledged.
We took the first step, now find your purpose
After initiating something, the call to find a purpose or meaning.
The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors
Repeated emphasis on clinging to harmful things despite failure.
His eyes are fixed on curtains
Someone's intense focus on a deception or illusion.
Bring on the bait and switch
Introducing deception and manipulation.
I see right through it
Seeing through deception or dishonesty.
From the first, to the last, you changed the past
From the beginning to the end, altering or distorting the past.
Our deaths creep in slowly
Implying impending death approaching gradually.
Divisive acts rewarded with a roaring
Actions causing division or discord receive attention or reward.
Send it all back
Desire to return or undo everything.
Exist in failure while they run free
Existing in failure while those responsible remain unaffected.
