Lyrics
Straight onto the beatin' path
Directly onto the established rhythm or course
Phase down into its aftermath
To transition or descend into the consequences or results of an event
Kills me to find myself here at last
Unpleasant to realize that I've finally arrived at this point
I blame it on my human side
I attribute this to my human nature, my flaws or weaknesses
I blame it on the other guy
I attribute this to someone else, shifting blame
I blame the stars on the boulevard
I blame fate or circumstances, possibly in a glamorous setting
The perfect body, the perfect smile
The ideal physique, the perfect grin
The perfect lover impeccably in style
The flawless romantic partner, flawlessly fashionable
I use to be I'd, laugh it off
Previously, I'd shrug it off casually
Now it's just this joke I got
Now it's become a joke that I'm carrying
A halo promises a sinner's dream
A symbol of goodness suggests sinful desires
The punch line is I always swim upstream
The punchline of my life is consistently going against the flow
I blame it on my human side
Again attributing to human nature, acknowledging faults
I blame it on the other guy
Shifting blame to another party
I use to be I'd laugh it off
Previously, I'd dismiss it humorously
Now it's just this joke I got
Now it's turned into a persistent joke in my life
A halo promises a sinner's dream
Goodness suggesting sinful desires remains unfulfilled
The punch line is I always swim upstream
The ongoing punchline is my continuous opposition to the norm
Upstream
Continuously swimming against the current
I use to be I'd laugh it off
Previously, I'd dismiss it humorously
Now it's just this joke I got
Now it's turned into a persistent joke in my life
A halo promises a sinner's dream
Goodness suggesting sinful desires remains unfulfilled
The punch line is I always swim upstream
The ongoing punchline is my continuous opposition to the norm
Upstream
Continuously swimming against the current
