Vic
Lost in the Night: Unraveling Manta Rays' Enigmatic Tale
Lyrics
it's a funny response people have when you borrow their things and never give them back
Reflects on the reaction people have when items borrowed are not returned.
and last night you scared me to death when you walk home alone it gives me a heart attack
Expresses fear for someone walking alone at night, causing anxiety.
we do the very things that make us tick we can't tell if it is human or if we're hypocrites
Acknowledges human contradictions and struggles with self-awareness.
and some are cold as stone some are warm as a stove but the sakes things stand in the way of where we want to go
Describes people with varying personalities hindering progress.
so take me home where i can be all alone
Desire to retreat to a place of solitude.
getting wasted getting stoned and it might be the end of me
References self-destructive behavior due to substances.
i remember calling and infomercial last night
Recollection of a previous phone call with an infomercial-like tone.
i don't remember what i said but i think that you might
Uncertain memory of the conversation and the possibility that the other person might remember.
my friends and i do wicked evil shit and it's tight
Engagement in morally questionable activities with friends.
my buddy vic has the good stuff and we stay up all night, all night
Mention of a friend named Vic who provides substances, leading to late-night activities.
and it might me the end of me, yeah it might be the end of me
Reiterates the potential self-destructive outcome of the behaviors.
oh yeah it might be the end of me this time,
Expresses a strong possibility of facing dire consequences this time.
this time, this time
Emphasizes the seriousness of the situation.
i'm too good at arguing it doesn't get me very far or solve anything
Recognizes personal proficiency in arguments but acknowledges its limitations.
and though i have trouble listening i find comfort in doing so selectively
Admits difficulty in listening but finds comfort in selective hearing.
when shot down by the pope in point blank range in the middle of any ally way ancient scroll exchange
Describes a scenario involving a confrontation with authority and ancient knowledge exchange.
you've been set up, hung up to dry you couldn't be trusted without looking him in the eye
Feeling betrayed and unable to earn trust without direct eye contact.
the pope says hey son have you learned your lesson to which you look him in the eye and deliver your sermon singing
Responding defiantly to authority's query, criticizing authority and its impact.
authority is poison a displaced devotion and it's getting sickening, the things people believe so
Critiques blind faith in authority, seeing it as toxic.
take me home where i can be all alone
Repeats the desire for seclusion amidst destructive behavior.
getting wasted getting stoned and it might be the end of me
Reiteration of potential self-destructive consequences.
i remember calling and infomercial last night
Recollection of a phone call with a commercial-like tone.
i don't remember what i said but i think that you might
Uncertain memory of the conversation similar to line 8.
my friends and i do wicked evil shot and it's tight
Reiteration of engaging in morally questionable activities.
my buddy vic has the good stuff and we stay up all night, all night
Repeats the involvement with Vic and late-night activities.
and it might me the end of me, yeah it might be the end of me
Reaffirms the potential for self-destructive outcomes.
oh yeah it might be the end of me this time,
Reemphasizes the imminent danger or consequence.
this time, this time
Stresses the severity of the situation.
