Dying Alone
Echoes of Regret: A Melodic Tale of Consequences
Lyrics
But you reap every word that you sow
Consequences follow the words you speak
Seventeen couldn't be outgrown
Being seventeen doesn't guarantee maturity
Horrified that you'll die all alone
Fearful of dying in solitude
Now boy mind your manners
Advice to behave properly
Your cancer and your grammar
Both dealing with a disease and linguistic correctness
You're a little too hammered
Intoxicated or overwhelmed
If you ask me
Subjective opinion
You got your bangers and your banners
References to successes and achievements
You nailed the wedding planner
Humorous mention of a successful event
Raised the white man's standard
Conforming to societal expectations
But your dollars ain't free
Wealth has limitations
Still running from your hometown
Avoiding one's place of origin
Still fighting til' you're beaten down
Continuing to fight despite hardships
But you reap every word that you sow
Reiteration of the idea that actions have consequences
Seventeen couldn't be outgrown
Maturity is not guaranteed by age seventeen
Horrified that you'll die all alone
Fearful of facing death alone
And now I can't touch myself
Loss of self-connection due to emotional distress
Cause my body doesn't feel like mine
Feeling disconnected from one's own body
I can't pull her handprints out
Unable to erase the impact of past relationships
From all the sadness I'm defined by
Defined by sorrow and sadness
I keep waiting on a ticking bomb
Anticipating a life-changing event with anxiety
To blow before I'm proven wrong
Waiting for confirmation before facing reality
She's the only one that I could ever love
Expressing love for a specific person
And I'm never gonna be enough
Feeling inadequate in love
Still running from your hometown
Continuing to avoid one's place of origin
Still fighting til' you're beaten down
Persisting in the face of adversity
But you reap every word that you sow
Reiterating the idea of consequences for actions
Seventeen couldn't be outgrown
Age doesn't guarantee outgrowing certain behaviors
Horrified that you'll die all alone
Fearful of facing death in isolation
And you try not to cry on the phone
Struggling to contain emotions while communicating
A thousand miles, fake a smile, change of tone
Coping with distance through pretense and change of mood
Truth or dare, hands in hair, love is cold
Relationship challenges with a cold emotional state
But you reap every word that you sow
Reiterating the concept of facing consequences for words
Seventeen couldn't be outgrown
Age alone doesn't guarantee maturity
Horrified that you'll die all alone
Fearful of the prospect of dying without companionship
