Glass Cannon
Broken Resolve: Confronting Painful Realities
Lyrics
He looks me in the eye as he approaches the door
Confrontation with someone at the door, establishing direct eye contact.
Whiskey on his breath, screams your mother's a whore
Noting the person's intoxicated state and offensive remarks about the speaker's mother.
Went around, living doubt, hoping for the day
Reflecting on a life filled with uncertainty and a desire for a better future.
That sometime in his life, I could make him pay
Expressing a wish for the person to face consequences for their actions.
He looks me in the eye as I am beat to the floor
Physical harm inflicted on the speaker, meeting eyes again.
Anger in my veins, I can't take it anymore
Intense anger and frustration, reaching a breaking point.
I wanna cry, I wanna die, I wanna make him pay
Emotional turmoil, a desire for revenge conflicting with internal thoughts of acceptance.
But the voice inside my head tells me it's okay
An internal voice offering reassurance or justification for not retaliating.
He looks me in the eye as he approaches the door
A repetition of the initial confrontation, emphasizing the cyclical nature of abuse.
Whiskey on his breath, screams your mother's a whore
Reiteration of the person's intoxicated state and derogatory comments.
Went around, living doubt, hoping for the day
Recurrence of uncertainty and hope for a future change.
That sometime in his life, I could make him pay
Repeating the desire for the person to face consequences for their actions.
I'm so fucking tired, I cried
Expressing exhaustion and frustration through strong language.
I screamed at the sky
Desperation and emotional release, directed towards the sky.
Delusions coming down, my delusions seeping out
Acknowledging distorted perceptions and emotions surfacing.
I fucking dare you bitch
A defiant challenge, daring someone to provoke further.
Try some shit
Assertive declaration to face any challenges or confrontations.
I'm an inch away from breaking
Close to a breaking point emotionally or mentally.
And I'm fucking over it
Expressing frustration and weariness with the situation.
You wanna feel some pain
Offering an intense experience of pain as a response to provocation.
I've got more than just spare
Asserting a readiness to endure and overcome challenges.
Screaming out my lungs
Loudly expressing distress and frustration.
Ripping out my hair
Symbolic act of extreme distress and frustration, pulling out hair.
Because no one cares
Feelings of isolation and neglect, perceiving a lack of empathy from others.
You'll watch your patience melt
Warning about the erosion of patience in a challenging situation.
So shut the fuck up
A direct, forceful command to be silent or stop provoking.
Or speak for yourself
An insistence on personal responsibility and individual expression.
