Father
Forgiveness and Fear: Marta Knight's Reflection on Family Dynamics
Lyrics
You've got a smile like a knife and you know it damn right
You possess a captivating yet potentially harmful smile, and you're aware of its impact.
You know it damn right
Reiteration of the awareness of the powerful impact of the mentioned smile.
Stupid of me, I thought that if you were mine,
Reflecting on the mistake of assuming that a romantic relationship would solve personal issues.
Then I would be fine
Expressing the hope that being in a relationship would bring happiness.
We all get carried away sometimes
Acknowledging that everyone experiences moments of losing control, needing someone to guide them home, despite the initial belief in self-sufficiency.
We all get carried away sometimes
-We just need someone to bring us back home
-It's just I thought that I could do that alone
-And I forgive you father
Seeking forgiveness from a paternal figure, recognizing personal difficulty, and questioning the purpose of the effort.
I know I'm not easy so why bother
-There's so much more to love than making it last, than making it last
Highlighting the complexity of love beyond mere endurance and suggesting the possibility of encountering a familiar person anew.
Maybe I'll meet you again someday for the first time
-There's so much more to life than making it last, than making it last
-I know my brother will be fine, just give him some time, just give him some time
Expressing confidence that a sibling will recover over time, implying a familial struggle.
And he'll forgive you father
Repeating the theme of seeking forgiveness from a father, acknowledging the challenge, and questioning its significance.
No it's not easy but why bother
-And he'll forgive you father
-No it's not easy but why bother
-I'm just afraid of turning into you, some nights
Expressing fear of inheriting negative traits from a father and admitting moments of almost replicating those undesirable qualities.
Some nights I swear that I almost do
-I'm just afraid of turning into you, some nights
-Some nights I swear that I almost do
-We all get carried away sometimes
Reiterating the universal theme of losing control but still believing in personal strength to find the way home.
We all get carried away sometimes
-We just need someone to bring us back home
-It's just I thought that I could do that alone
-Why don't you leave me alone sometimes
Pleading for solitude at times, possibly overwhelmed by external influences.
Why don't you leave me alone sometimes
-Why don't you leave me alone
-Why don't you leave me alone
-Why don't you leave me alone
-Why don't you leave me alone
-Why don't you leave me
Repetition of the plea for solitude, emphasizing the need for space.
Why don't you leave me
-Some things cannot be forgiven,
Addressing the concept of forgiveness, stating that certain things cannot be forgiven but asserting a shift of focus to more positive aspects of life.
But that's not mine anymore, that's not mine to deal with
-Some things cannot be forgiven
-But that's not mine anymore, that's not mine to deal with
-Some things cannot be forgiven,
-But that's not mine anymore, that's not mine to deal with
-Some things cannot be forgiven,
-But I've got better things now, I've got better things to deal with
