Lost Innocence: A Tale of Shadows and Redemption on Seven Sisters
Lyrics
On Seven Sisters lay down your innocence
Encouraging someone to let go of their innocence on Seven Sisters, possibly a metaphorical place, to gain knowledge about the truth.
Cash in your ignorance learn about the truth
Suggesting that ignorance should be exchanged for truth, hinting at a harsh reality to be learned.
And it's no playground it's one big let down
Contrary to a playful environment, Seven Sisters is depicted as disappointing and disillusioning.
It looks like a backstreet bargain baby
Comparing Seven Sisters to a shady deal where one is taken advantage of.
But you just got screwed
Expressing the feeling of being deceived or cheated in that situation.
And on that high road you live in shadows
Living in the shadows while taking the high road, possibly suggesting a hidden or troubled existence.
And the one that follows is your silent twin
Implying a connection to a silent counterpart or a hidden aspect of oneself.
And it's a sad reminder
Highlighting a sad reminder about finding oneself in trouble again.
That when you try to find her
When attempting to reconnect with this hidden aspect, it's discovered to be in trouble once more.
She's back on the old main drag in trouble again
Referencing the trouble that one encounters repeatedly, almost cyclically, in a familiar place.
Ten hail Mary's and she's ready to score
Suggesting a person's readiness to engage in questionable behavior with minimal penance.
Dealing with the damage of a grown up war
Dealing with the consequences of a conflict or struggle typically associated with adulthood.
But turning tricks and tourniquets
Engaging in activities that may offer temporary relief but ultimately waste time.
Are nothing more than another wasted day
Stating that such activities are futile and don’t contribute positively to life.
Cinderella's on the corner with her eyes in tears
Depicting someone reminiscent of Cinderella, waiting for a transformative moment but stuck in tears and disappointment.
Waiting for the moment when the magic appears
Anticipating a magical change that hasn't materialized.
They expected her home for the past two years
Expressing the disappointment of unmet expectations regarding returning home.
I guess she lost her way
Suggesting a loss of direction or failure to find the way back home.
The tide is always turning
Highlighting the perpetual change and movement within oneself.
Deep inside your desire's burning
Describing an intense inner longing or passion.
And you're dying just to get away
Feeling an overwhelming urge to escape from the current situation or place.
You thought you had it down
Initial confidence upon arrival in a new place followed by a plea for help.
When you first came to this town
The contrast between initial confidence and the current need for assistance.
Now you're begging for a helping hand
Requesting aid and a fresh start.
And a brand new day
Desiring to regain what was lost due to Seven Sisters.
You're begging back all that Seven Sisters took away
Yearning to recover what was taken or lost in that place.
Can you get it back again
Pondering the possibility of reclaiming what was lost.
Get it back again
Reiterating the desire to retrieve what was lost or taken away.
And I wish I could escape
Expressing a wish to escape the troubles associated with the old main drag.
From the old main drag
Repeating the desire to escape from the old main drag.
From the old main drag
Reiterating the wish to escape the difficulties of that particular place or situation.
