Deadbeat
Redemption's Echo: Native Blü's Struggle Against Fate
Lyrics
I will let you down time after time
I consistently disappoint you over and over again
Need to re-establish this life of mine
I need to rebuild and re-establish my own life
Sick of this pattern it's like I'm born to lose
Fed up with this repetitive negative cycle, it feels like I'm destined to fail
Proceed with caution on this path I choose
I should be cautious as I continue on this chosen path
Never had intended to go this way
I never intended for things to turn out this way
Need to change to see another day
I need to make a change to have a chance at a better future
Stuck here drowning just to stay afloat
Feeling trapped and struggling just to survive
Please help me escape this past I've wrote
Seeking help to escape the negative history I've written for myself
They chase after me for what I have done
Others are pursuing me for the mistakes I've made
In pursuit for a web that I have spun
In pursuit of the consequences of the choices I've made
And I assure you this is not an act for fun
Assuring that my actions are not for amusement, but a serious matter
Cause for so many years I have been on the run
Been on the run for many years, avoiding responsibilities
They ridicule me they shame me
Experiencing ridicule and shame from others
It's not my fault
Denying fault for the situation
Deep wounds filled with salt
Enduring deep emotional wounds with added pain (salt)
It's not my fault
Reiterating the denial of fault
And I won't change for anyone
Not willing to change for anyone
Point your finger elsewhere
Directing blame away, asserting individuality
I am my own person
Asserting independence, making a solemn vow
This I swear
Stating a commitment to self
You can't blame me
Defending against blame from others
You can't make me
Refusing to be influenced or compelled by external forces
This is not how it's supposed to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs
You can't beat me
Asserting resilience against challenges
You can't break me
Claiming strength against attempts to break one's spirit
I will show you what it's supposed to be
Determined to demonstrate the correct way of living
And I assure you this is not an act for fun
Reiterating the serious nature of personal struggles over the years
Cause for so many years I have been on the run
Continuing to be on the run, avoiding responsibilities
They ridicule me they shame me
Experiencing ongoing ridicule and shame
It's not my fault
Reaffirming the lack of fault
Deep wounds filled with salt
Emphasizing enduring emotional pain
It's not my fault
Reiterating the denial of fault
You have left your responsibility
Accusing someone of abandoning responsibilities
Abandoned your post undeniably
Asserting the undeniable abandonment of duties
Deadbeat
Labeling oneself as a "deadbeat," implying a failure in fulfilling responsibilities
Deadbeat
Repeating the label, emphasizing the sense of failure
Oh god, I've become a deadbeat
An exclamation of realization and regret for becoming a "deadbeat"
