Shot Down
Navigating Life's Abyss: Nine Black Alps' Shot Down Revelations
Lyrics
Funny how, could have lived, yeah.
Funny how life could have been different.
Funny how they really live.
It's ironic how people truly live their lives.
Drag you down, and, pull you in, and,
Experiencing challenges that bring you down and simultaneously attract you.
Tell you nice you'll never win.
Receiving false compliments that suggest you'll never succeed.
Pretty good at, laying low,
Skilled at staying unnoticed or maintaining a low profile.
It's the, only place you'll ever go.
Being in a difficult situation is the only constant in life.
Prison doors, sound like, wedding bells,
Comparing the harsh sound of prison doors to the joyful sound of wedding bells.
As you, ask for change at the wishing well.
Seeking change by making wishes at a well.
I don't like this place.
Expressing dislike for the current situation or environment.
I don't like what it's become.
Disapproval of the present state of things.
You can hide your face,
Ability to hide one's true emotions or identity.
You can always hide your guns.
Suggesting the option of concealing weapons as a means of self-preservation.
Shot down, spun round, strung out.
Feeling defeated, disoriented, and addicted.
Still around, somehow.
Persisting or surviving despite challenges.
In the human race,
Commenting on the inclusive nature of the human race.
There's a space for everyone.
Suggesting there is a place for everyone in society.
You can save yourself.
Encouraging self-preservation or self-rescue.
You can always kill your sons.
Highlighting the extreme act of sacrificing one's own children.
Shot down, spun round, strung out.
Reiterating the theme of feeling defeated, disoriented, and addicted.
Still around, somehow.
Persisting or surviving despite challenges, reaffirmed.
