DON'T LOOK DOWN.
Dancing on the Edge of Redemption: A Soul's Struggle Unveiled
Lyrics
The tendrils in my head are growing back again
The thoughts or concerns in my mind are resurfacing.
God, what a fucked up, fucked mental image
Expressing a disturbing and distressing mental image or thought.
Those two are tying up my guts
Those thoughts are causing distress in my stomach.
Meaning well, but shucks
Trying to be helpful, but it's not working out as expected.
It's mortifying
It's extremely embarrassing or shameful.
Can't breathe without the cryin'
I feel suffocated emotionally, unable to breathe without crying.
Can't live without the dyin' (dyin')
I feel like I can't exist without experiencing emotional pain or suffering.
I don't play this court so often
I'm not involved in this situation frequently.
Where the glass I walk on bare is sharpened
My environment or circumstances are difficult and treacherous.
Just for me (me, me)
These circumstances seem designed specifically for me.
Me
Emphasizing the self-centric nature of the situation.
Well I know the devil's got me on his mind
I feel like I'm being targeted or influenced negatively by negative forces.
The devil's got me on his mind
Reiterating the feeling of being influenced by negative forces like the devil.
The devil's got me on his mind
Repetition emphasizing the influence of the devil on the speaker.
Am I somethin' special?
Questioning if there's anything special or unique about oneself.
No
Denying the belief that there's anything special about oneself.
Speed-run your emotions, baby
Quickly cycling through emotions from happiness to feeling terrible.
From "I should be happy" to "wow this is shitty"
Describing a rapid shift in emotional states.
And it's not gonna be you, and that's gotta be
Recognizing that a specific person or situation won't bring resolution or happiness.
It's not gonna be you, and that's gotta be okay
Accepting that a particular situation or person won't fulfill expectations, and that's okay.
It's okay (it's okay)
Reaffirming that it's acceptable or okay.
I've been tuggin' on the reins of my own expectations
Trying to control or manage one's expectations of oneself.
Riding on the wave of an ocean
Going along with life's ups and downs, likened to riding a wave.
That's drying up by the second
Feeling that time is passing quickly and opportunities are slipping away.
Tastes like redemption
Feels like finding relief or salvation.
When I open my lungs up to drown
Metaphorically feeling like embracing something that would typically be suffocating.
And I hear a whisper saying don't look down
Hearing advice or a whisper telling not to focus on negative thoughts.
Because the devil's got you on his mind
Reiterating the feeling of being targeted or influenced negatively by the devil.
The devil's got you on his mind
Repeating the idea of being under the influence of the devil.
The devil's got you on his mind
Continuing to emphasize the impact of negative forces like the devil.
But baby, you're also on Mine
Expressing care or affection for someone despite feeling influenced by negative forces.
