Stubborn Beast
Resisting Redemption: A Stubborn Beast's Journey through Darkened Roads
Lyrics
My sullen songs have taken me far down this darkened road
Despite my melancholic songs, I've journeyed far along this gloomy path.
I have seen the campfires burning, I have heard the drunkards howl
I've witnessed the fires of others and heard the lamentations of those inebriated.
I'm silent in my solitude, I'm quiet as a thief
I remain quiet and secretive in my isolation, akin to a thief.
I have stolen all these hours, I have gotten no relief
I've spent these moments, yet found no respite or release.
My crazy dreams and tragedies have taken me for a ride
My tumultuous dreams and sorrows have led me on a tumultuous journey.
But I can see strange glory on the other side
But despite this, I perceive a peculiar beauty or magnificence awaiting me.
Oh, this has been my misery and the source of my pride
This has been both my suffering and the origin of my self-esteem.
But all along I'm thinking that I've been taken for a ride
Nevertheless, I'm contemplating that I've been deceived or misled all along.
Why don't you take me when I'm willing?
Why don't you accept me when I'm willing to be accepted?
Why don't you take me when I'm willing?
Repetition for emphasis: Why don't you accept me when I'm willing to be accepted?
But like a stubborn beast when the barn is on fire
Similar to a stubborn animal during a crisis, I may resist help even when in danger.
I might resist you when you try to save my life
I might oppose your aid even if it's to save my life.
I might resist you when you try to save my life
Reiteration of the resistance to assistance despite impending danger.
When the flames rise around us and I can't see the door
When surrounded by adversity, unable to perceive an escape, I remain rooted to what's familiar.
This is still my home and it has never burned before
My present situation, even in a crisis, feels like home where there's been no precedent for devastation.
Oh, this is where I've taken my solace and my peace
Despite the crumbling environment, I've found comfort and tranquility here.
The walls are caving in but I am still a stubborn beast
Despite the impending collapse, I remain obstinate and unyielding.
Why don't you take me when I'm?
Similar to line 11 and 12, questioning why acceptance isn't offered when willingness is shown.
Why don't you take me when I'm willing?
Reiteration of the desire for acceptance when open to it.
