Surviving the Unfair: Long Island's Reflection on Love and Regret
Lyrics
Where would you go if the sky turned red?
Contemplating a scenario where the world is in turmoil.
Would you look for me or never see me again?
Questioning whether the person would seek connection in difficult times.
Would you be fine?
Asking about the emotional state of the person in that hypothetical situation.
I'm already used to surviving these lonely nights
Expressing resilience and familiarity with enduring nights alone.
All of the time
Highlighting a consistent feeling of loneliness.
I'm sick of trying
Conveying frustration and exhaustion from persistent efforts.
It's not fair
Stating that the situation is unjust or unfavorable.
You don't regret the things you say
Pointing out the lack of remorse for spoken words.
It's not fair
Reiterating the unfairness, possibly related to actions taken.
That you ran the other way
Expressing disappointment at someone avoiding responsibilities.
Where would you go if you had one day?
Pondering the destination if given only one day to live.
Would you face your fears or would it stay the same?
Questioning whether the person would confront fears or maintain the status quo.
Would you regret the things you said last time?
Wondering about potential regrets regarding past words.
The ones you left behind
Referring to individuals left behind due to actions or decisions.
You don't appreciate the complicated state of your own mind
Noting a lack of appreciation for the complexity of one's own thoughts.
It's not fair
Reiterating the perception of an unfair situation.
You don't regret the things you say
Highlighting the absence of remorse for spoken words.
It's not fair

That you ran the other way
Expressing disappointment at someone avoiding responsibilities.
So tell me why we're dead inside
Posing a question about emotional numbness or desensitization.
Is it easier to lie?
Suggesting that lying might be an easier option.
It's not fair
Reiterating the perception of an unfair situation.
It's not fair
Further emphasizing the perceived injustice.
It's not fair
Continuing to assert the unfairness of the situation.
You don't regret the things you say
Pointing out the lack of remorse for spoken words.
It's not fair
Reiterating the perception of an unfair situation.
That you ran the other way

So tell me why we're dead inside
