Lyrics
Oh
Expression of surprise or realization
I take a shot in the dark
Taking a risky action with uncertain outcome
It's a shot to the head
The risky action has severe consequences
You wound up right where you are
Facing the consequences and ending up in a specific situation
Because the way that you've been
Commenting on someone's recent behavior or actions
Take it right to the source
Seeking the origin or cause of a situation
Bring the knife to you neck
A threatening gesture or confrontation
I know the you at your core
Understanding the true nature of a person
Cut away all the rest
Removing unnecessary elements or distractions
The first to fall in the field
The first casualty in a conflict
The last hope of defense
The last line of defense or hope
Risk it all with the steal
Taking a significant risk, possibly for gain
They break their teeth on our dead
Enemies facing difficulty overcoming the group's resilience
First in
Repeated emphasis on being the first in line to face danger
And first in line to die
-First in
-And first in line to die
-First in
-And first in line to die
-First in
-And first in line
-Snatched him right out the sky
Describing a sudden and effective attack on an opponent
Snapped him right off his line
-Took the air out his lungs
-Light out his eyes
-How could I be enough
Questioning one's own ability in the face of challenges and losses
To fight a problem this size
-How could I be the one
-When other ones died
-Other ones died
Repeating the fact that others have died
Other ones died
-Died
-Screaming but still fighting
Describing a determined fight despite fear and danger
Screaming for their lives
-I take a shot in the dark
Repetition of earlier verses, reinforcing the themes of risk, consequence, and sacrifice
It's a shot to the head
-You wound up right where you are
-Because the way that you've been
-Take it right to the source
-Bring the knife to you neck
-I know the you at your core
-Cut away all the rest
-The first to fall in the field
-The last hope of defense
-Risk it all with the steal
-They break their teeth on our dead
-Falling hard like bricks through a glass house
Using a metaphor (glass house) to describe a vulnerable or precarious situation
Falling hard like bricks through a glass house
-Falling hard like bricks through a glass house
-Falling hard like bricks
-Falling hard like bricks through a glass house
-Falling hard like bricks through glass
Reiterating the idea of falling hard or facing significant challenges
