Lyrics
I wanted so much to do the right thing
I had a strong desire to do what is morally right.
I know
Acknowledgment or agreement with a previous statement or situation.
But I felt so left out
I felt excluded or isolated despite my intentions.
That could happen to anybody
Emphasizing that feeling left out is a universal experience.
I love you
An expression of love.
But I'm not going to let you change me
I won't allow you to alter my core identity.
Secret rooms in open spaces
Hidden and private aspects within open and shared spaces.
Public bodies, hidden faces
Contrast between public visibility and concealed identities.
A golden ruler with an iron fist
A ruler with apparent wealth/power but a harsh governing style.
Takes your hands if you reach for his
Exercising control by preventing opposition or dissent.
Forms a circle with the rattle tail he chases
Creating a closed loop, repeating destructive patterns.
It's piling up a mountain
Accumulating challenges or problems steadily.
By dredging up an ocean
Increasing difficulties by addressing larger issues.
Roll the stone
A reference to attempting a difficult task.
I cannot just carry this
Expressing an inability to bear a burden alone.
Put my shoulder under it
Willingness to share the burden but with conditions.
The leverage against my bones
The pressure affecting one's fundamental being.
I cannot just carry this
Reiteration of the inability to bear the burden alone.
After all this bitterness is reckoned with
Reflecting on resolving accumulated bitterness.
Can I come home
Asking for acceptance after facing and resolving conflicts.
I cannot just carry this
Emphasizing the difficulty of bearing the burden repeatedly.
I cannot just carry this
-I cannot just carry this
-I cannot just carry this
-I cannot just carry this
-I cannot just carry this
-Drank the cup of a hundred lashes
Experiencing severe punishment or criticism.
Poured the justice of the masses
Applying justice on a large scale, potentially indiscriminate.
On a mission since the incidents
Pursuing a goal since a past event or incidents.
No advantage left in innocence
No innocence left, no advantage in being naive.
Nothing but smoke has ever risen from these ashes
No positive outcomes from past hardships.
Roll the stone
Repeating the idea of attempting a challenging task.
I cannot just carry this
Reiteration of the inability to bear the burden alone.
Put my shoulder under it
Willingness to share the burden but with conditions.
The leverage against my bones
The pressure affecting one's fundamental being.
I cannot just carry this
Reiteration of the inability to bear the burden alone.
After all this bitterness is reckoned with
Reflecting on resolving accumulated bitterness.
Can I come home
Asking for acceptance after facing and resolving conflicts.
It's piling up a mountain
Accumulating challenges or problems steadily.
By dredging up an ocean
Increasing difficulties by addressing larger issues.
Ouroboros never grows, Ouroboros never grows
Symbolizing a cycle of self-destruction that never ends.
Can I come home
Seeking acceptance despite inherent flaws.
But you can't expect me to be any different than what I am
Asserting that one's nature is unchangeable.
