Had It Coming
Savoring Fate: Unraveling Life's Script in Matthew Good's 'Had It Coming'
Lyrics
Well you walk like I thought you'd walk
Observation that the person's walking behavior aligns with expectations.
And you talk like I thought you'd talk
Noting that the person's speech matches preconceived notions.
Broken glass, lips to ass, the stars up in the sky
Describing a situation with broken glass, a reference to indulgence, and the vastness of the sky.
I'm like that one about a priest who walks in bar, orders a drink
Referencing a story about a priest in a bar finding God in unexpected company.
And then finds God all in savage company
Highlighting a paradoxical scenario where enlightenment is found in unconventional places.
Well smile
An encouragement or command to smile.
Cruelty free, well heavens me, I never thought I'd see the day
Expressing surprise at an unexpected, cruelty-free situation.
I've had it coming
Admitting or realizing that consequences are deserved.
Well you work a job, you hate your job
Describing dissatisfaction with a disliked job.
You go home and you wonder
Reflecting on the discontent after returning home from work.
What am I going to do about my job
Contemplating what actions to take regarding the disliked job.
It pays the bills, the bills add up
Recognizing the necessity of the job for financial stability.
So you go to bed and dream
Escaping reality through dreams after facing the harshness of life.
You wake up hung over on a beach in the sunshine
Imagining a carefree moment on a beach, possibly representing a desired escape.
And you walk into the sea like nothing's ever been
Symbolizing a desire to escape reality by walking into the sea.
Yeah you wade into the sea until you can feel the planet humming
Immersing oneself in the vastness of the sea, seeking connection with the planet.
Yeah you sink into the sea and find out that you can breathe
Finding the ability to breathe underwater, suggesting a transformation or liberation.
Yeah you sink into the sea and find out at last
Realizing the consequences of actions, potentially implying self-discovery or acceptance.
You've have it coming
Reiterating the acknowledgment that consequences are deserved.
We've had it coming
Generalizing that consequences are inevitable and shared collectively.
