Bitter Road
Bitter Road: Navigating Heartbreak's Demons
Lyrics
How we ruin what we had
Reflecting on how we destroy what was once good.
But who are we to say anything
Questioning the authority to pass judgment or comment on the situation.
We don't keep what won't stay
Acknowledging the tendency to discard things that are not enduring.
We take it all away
Expressing the act of taking everything away.
I'll take the bitter road to nowhere
Choosing a difficult and unpleasant path that leads to nowhere.
I think it's better off this way
Believing that the chosen bitter road is a preferable option.
You are a demon in my nightmare
Referring to someone as a nightmare or a negative influence.
So let's go there
Suggesting a willingness to explore and face the challenges ahead.
How you can pretend that
Questioning the value or worthiness of the other person.
You're worth it to me
Challenging the idea that the other person is significant.
It's hard to see past your make believe
Noting the difficulty in seeing beyond the illusions or deception.
I don't hear what you say now
Disregarding what the other person is saying.
You take it all from me
Experiencing the loss of everything due to the other person.
I'll take the bitter road to nowhere
Reiterating the choice to take a bitter road with no clear destination.
I think it's better off this way
Affirming the belief that the chosen path is better in this context.
You are a demon in my nightmare
Reiterating the negative influence of the other person as a demon.
I think it's better off this way
Reinforcing the idea that the chosen path is better due to the demon-like influence.
By now you should have felt me drifting
Noting the expectation that the other person should have noticed emotional distance.
Or falling to my knees again, all alone
Describing a sense of emotional descent or vulnerability when alone.
Oh, let go of all your expectations
Encouraging the release of unrealistic hopes and anticipations.
I'm not the one to pull along the road you're on
Rejecting the role of being led down a path by the other person.
Cause it's the one I'm running from
Expressing a desire to avoid the specific road the other person is on.
Pulling me, (It's all for nothing)
Describing a force or influence pulling the speaker, emphasizing futility.
Pulling me along (It's all for nothing)
Repeating the idea that the pull is for nothing, suggesting a futile situation.
Everything, (It's all for nothing)
Highlighting that everything, including the pull, is devoid of value or purpose.
Everything is wrong
Declaring that everything is wrong in the current context.
So I'll walk this road alone
Accepting the decision to walk a difficult path without companionship.
So I'll walk this road alone
Reiterating the choice to face challenges alone on the bitter road.
