Lyrics
Taking it slowly
Taking things slowly, proceeding cautiously
I was your only way in
I was your sole entry point or means of access
Somehow I've lost it
I've somehow lost that connection or privilege
You fucking degenerate
An insult implying a severe moral decline
We play concentration
We engage in a mental game resembling the concentration exercises we were taught
Just like they taught us
Referencing a learned practice or mental discipline
Leeches in the lakes
Undesirable elements in natural places, likely symbolic of negative influences
The kids always run away
Youth often flee or escape from difficult situations
So it goes
Expressing resignation to the way things unfold or happen
You said you know
You claimed understanding or awareness
I won't take it back now
I won't retract my previous statement or action
I wouldn't do it again
I regret or wouldn't repeat that action
Guess I should tell you
Seems like an impending disclosure or revelation
I was your only way in
Similar to line 2: I was your sole entry point or means of access
But somehow I've lost it
I've somehow lost that connection or privilege again
Fortune won't find you in the end
Implies luck or fortune won't favor you
Know that I've made this
Indication of having contributed to a difficult situation
Harder to handle
Making a situation more challenging or burdensome
There's leeches in the lakes
Reiteration of undesirable elements in natural places
You knew that I'd run away
You anticipated or knew I'd escape or run away
I won't take it back now
Reiteration of line 11: I won't retract my previous statement or action
I wouldn't do it again
Reiteration of line 12: I regret or wouldn't repeat that action
Concentrate on nothing
An instruction to focus on nothing or empty thoughts
Fuck yourself instead
An aggressive directive to divert attention inward, possibly expressing frustration
