Straight Away
Shooting Straight Through Life's Circles
Lyrics
This moment right here is one we can't suspend
This moment is pivotal and unalterable.
Your breathe and mine tells me just where I have been
Our breaths indicate the experiences we've had.
You know the song of long lost cause
Understanding the struggle of a lost cause.
We're running in circles and coming back again
Repeating patterns despite efforts to change.
Now could I go the long way
Questioning the choice between difficult and easy paths.
Taking the easy way down?
Considering taking the easier, less challenging route.
If I was wrong would you show me
Seeking guidance if wrong, searching for what's lost.
Where all that I lost can be found?
Searching for what has been misplaced.
'Cause you can shoot me straight
Asking for honesty even if it hurts emotionally.
Straight to the heart 'cause you already have it
Recognizing someone holds your emotions.
Say what you wanna say, we're coming out of the gray
Expressing readiness to confront truth and clarity.
What goes around now is coming back down today
Karma or consequences revisiting the present.
You can shoot me straight away
Being open to direct and honest communication.
Don't wanna fight and you don't wanna lose control
Avoiding conflict and loss of self-control.
We're losing light and the night is getting cold
Feeling a loss of warmth and comfort.
Everyone wants to hear their story told
Desire for one's story to be acknowledged.
We're not the only ones, we're not the only ones
Recognizing shared experiences with others.
And now could I go the long way
Reiterating the choice between paths, reconsidering.
Taking the easy way down?
Considering the easier route despite doubts.
If I was wrong, would you show me
Requesting guidance if mistaken, seeking what's lost.
Where all that I lost can be found?
Seeking what's been misplaced or forgotten.
'Cause you can shoot me straight
Asking for blunt honesty, acknowledging emotional attachment.
Straight to the heart 'cause you already have it
Acknowledging someone's possession of emotions.
Say what you wanna say, we're coming out of the gray
Preparedness to face truth and emerge from confusion.
What goes around now is coming back down today
Consequences or events returning to the present moment.
You can shoot me straight away
Openness to direct and honest communication immediately.
And you wanted to fly and leave it behind
Desire to escape past troubles but aware they'll resurface.
But you know it's gonna come back one day
Acknowledgment of the inevitable return of unresolved issues.
'Cause you can shoot me straight
Requesting direct and truthful communication.
Straight to the heart 'cause you already have it
Acknowledging emotional attachment and vulnerability.
Say what you wanna say, we're coming out of the gray
Preparedness to confront truth and uncertainty.
What goes around now is coming back down today
Consequences or events arriving at the current moment.
You can shoot me straight away
Being open to immediate, direct, and honest communication.
