Way They Should
Redemption's Echo: A Journey Through Broken Dreams
Lyrics
Hey mama, can I call, I need to come back home
Expressing a desire to return home and seek comfort from the challenges faced elsewhere.
The place I'm at ain't working, and they left me all alone
Current location is not suitable, feeling abandoned and isolated.
My calloused hands are burning, and my six string got no strings
Hands are tired, guitar has no strings, indicating a loss of creative or emotional outlet.
The version of me that I wanna be is only in my dreams
The ideal version of oneself is only achievable in dreams, suggesting a sense of unfulfilled potential.
My heart is like a shipwreck, it's been hit by a thousand waves
Heart is metaphorically damaged, facing numerous challenges.
A bottle of Jack a pack and a half gets me through my days
Using substances like Jack Daniels and cigarettes to cope with difficulties.
the feeling of redemption, feels good for a while
Momentary relief and redemption are short-lived.
Until it comes back, stabs your back, and your life ends up like mine
Temporary respite is disrupted, leading to a harsh reality similar to the speaker's.
I know that I gotta try, the devil doesn't lie
Acknowledging the need to resist negative influences, particularly from the devil.
Hell right now is empty, but they're all here to fight
Suggesting a challenging environment with the mention of an empty hell and ongoing struggles.
The angels try their best to fight the bad out of good
Angels attempt to guide individuals away from bad actions.
But sometimes things don't work out the way they should
Despite efforts, sometimes things don't go as planned or expected.
I see fire in the distance, it's coming right this way
Perceiving danger approaching, symbolized by fire, possibly a metaphor for life challenges.
Nothing beats a bad man down, no more than this own flame
Nothing is more destructive than one's internal struggles.
If you ever get the notion, you don't wanna fight with me
Advising others against engaging in conflict with the speaker.
Take a step back, pack your bags, and hit the highway
Suggesting leaving or distancing oneself when faced with potential conflict.
I know that I gotta try, the devil doesn't lie
Reiterating the need to resist negative influences and fight internal battles.
Hell right now is empty, but they're all here to fight
Describing a challenging environment with everyone fighting their own struggles.
The angels try their best to fight the bad out of good
Angels continue their efforts to guide individuals toward good choices.
But sometimes things don't work out the way they should
Despite efforts, things may not unfold as expected or intended.
Hey mama, can I call? I'm ready to leave home
Expressing readiness to return home after facing challenges and hardships.
I found a place down south where I won't feel alone
Having found a more suitable and comforting place, overcoming feelings of loneliness.
My calloused hands are working, and my six-string now got strings
Hands are now active, and the guitar has strings, indicating a positive change.
I learned some things and followed my dreams, and now I feel free
Having learned and pursued dreams, feeling liberated and free.
