Hammer
Demolished Ardor: Unraveling the Myth in Katie Von Schleicher's 'Hammer'
Lyrics
you say that you'll do it once again
You promise to repeat a certain action.
but you lie, you're not doing anything
Your statement is false; you're not taking any action.
working backwards
Reversing progress or actions.
turn the hammer on myself
Turning the metaphorical hammer on oneself, possibly self-destructive behavior.
working harder
Putting in more effort or intensity.
it's a myth: we tear it up just to build it smarter
The belief that destruction is necessary for smarter reconstruction.
on the other side the word is in,
On the opposite side, a word is in, indicating a shift or change; demolished passion.
it's demolished ardor
Passion or enthusiasm has been destroyed.
now he's coming
Someone is approaching.
now he's one of us
That person is now part of a collective or shared experience.
careful, loving
Caution and affectionate behavior.
let three words fly
Expressing three words, possibly significant or impactful.
all i know is we owe it back, all the slim advances
We are indebted to return what was gained; references to modest progress.
mid-america, old motel, i'm a thousand chances
Referring to a specific location and numerous opportunities.
you say that you'd do it all again
You claim a willingness to repeat the entire experience.
but you lie, you're not doing anything
Your assertion is false; there's no action being taken.
