Lyrics

Some poor sucker

Refers to someone in a difficult situation or unfortunate circumstance

At the bottom of the lake

Metaphorically placed at a low point, feeling trapped or submerged

Took the wrong way up

Chose the incorrect path when faced with a crisis or challenge

When the ground began to break

When faced with a problem, started to fall apart or collapse

It's a long way back

Returning from this situation will be arduous and challenging

That's the price you gotta pay

Consequence or cost of dealing with the aftermath of the mistake


Should've this, should've that

Regret for not taking certain actions or making specific decisions

Should've made a list to thank

Failure to appreciate or acknowledge things one should have

Should have kept a better track

Should have been more organized or mindful of one's responsibilities

Put some money in the bank

Advice to save money for security or future needs

If your mind's made up

When a decision is final, there's no more discussion or argument

Then there's nothing left to say

Nothing further to communicate if a decision is set


All you've given, all you took

Everything given and taken throughout one's life

All your promise, all your roles

All the commitments and responsibilities one has assumed

After all you've done

Despite past actions, now facing severe consequences

Feed your body to the wolves

Suggesting a drastic outcome due to the severity of the situation

It's a lie, it's the truth

Distinguishing between falsehood and reality in the situation

Only one thing you can do

Implies limited options available in the given circumstances


Take my everything, one thing

Offering everything one possesses as there's nothing else

Nothing else to take

No more possessions or resources left to give

Kick your ass right out

A strong expression of rejection or dismissal

What the hell you gonna say

A rhetorical question indicating a lack of explanation or defense

Gonna give it to you fast

Intention to deliver a message promptly and directly

Gonna give it to you straight

Communication in a clear, unambiguous manner


Yeah, you go and make him wait

Delaying someone's expectations or demands

Gonna put you in your place

Establishing authority or asserting control over someone

Gonna leave you in the dark

Leaving someone in a state of uncertainty or ignorance

At the bottom of the lake

Returning to the difficult starting point or situation

It's a long way back

Reiterating the challenging nature of the return journey

That's the price you gotta pay

Reaffirming the cost or consequence of rectifying the mistake


All you've given, all you took

Recapitulating everything given and taken throughout life

All your promise, all your roles

Restating all the commitments and roles one has played

After all you've done

Despite past actions, facing severe consequences again

Feed your body to the wolves

Emphasizing a dire outcome due to the severity of the situation

It's a lie, it's the truth

Distinguishing between falsehood and reality, reiterating limited options

Only one thing you can do

Implying there's only one course of action available in this situation
