Lyrics
You jump in front of the bullet
You willingly put yourself in harm's way, taking a risk for others.
The family put you to it
Your family influenced or compelled you to take this risky action.
You might survive the first thousand shots
Despite facing numerous challenges or dangers, you may survive repeated hardships.
Back to the end of the line
After facing difficulties, you find yourself back at the starting point.
You hold the will to survive them
You possess the strength or determination to endure difficult situations.
Answer to those you have failed
You are accountable to those you've let down or failed in some way.
Time to clean your room
It's time to address personal issues and prove you can overcome challenges.
And show you are able to stop
Show that you have the ability to prevent negative outcomes.
Beating yourself down
You are harshly criticizing yourself, possibly for past mistakes.
You've arrived
You've reached a certain point or achievement.
A wealth of respect, a world of a regard
You've earned respect and admiration globally.
You've always belonged
You have always belonged to a particular group or context.
You have to go on
Continue with your journey despite challenges.
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
Expressing a desire for you to experience the power or control symbolized by having a gun.
You used to hold aspiration
In the past, you had dreams and ambitions.
You couldn't see the limitations
You were unaware of certain limitations that hindered your aspirations.
Even in your youth you were unsurpassed
Even in your youth, you excelled and surpassed others.
But driven by grief and it couldn't last
Grief or sorrow has driven you, causing a decline in your abilities.
Sometimes promise,
Life is a mixture of promises and goodbyes.
Sometimes goodbye
Expressing the duality of experiences - sometimes positive, sometimes farewell.
Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes
You confess or reveal things, possibly under the influence of intoxication.
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
Reiterating the desire for you to experience the power associated with holding a gun.
It only breakds you until you get off
It only brings you down until you break free from its influence.
I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live
Refusing to witness self-destructive behavior and urging you to choose life over harm.
It's all so average until you get off
Life seems ordinary or mundane until you break free from destructive patterns.
I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold
Refusing to wait for your demise and urging you to take control of your life.
I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
Reiterating the desire for you to experience the power or control symbolized by having a gun.
