Secondhand
Breaking Free from Deceit: Our Century In Pictures' Secondhand Revelations
Lyrics
Going through the motions
Expressing a sense of mechanical, emotionless actions.
Sinking in the oceans
Feeling overwhelmed and immersed in difficulties.
Dragging me down under for a sense of comfort
Being pulled into a situation for a false sense of solace.
Trying to get better or so you'll say
Attempting to improve oneself, possibly insincerely.
Take the last train back to Oregon
Suggesting a retreat or escape to a familiar place.
The liars and fakes, you'll fit right in
Encountering deceitful people who conform easily.
Just run and hide, I'm not surprised
Advising to flee or avoid, expressing lack of surprise.
You said you'd change, you won't turn the page
Doubting the sincerity of promises to change.
Falling back to routine
Returning to a monotonous pattern of life.
Like when you were eighteen
Recalling a time of youth, possibly idealizing it.
Swimming with the serpents that roam the currents
Being in a dangerous environment with deceptive individuals.
Watching you kill yourself is nothing new to me
Witnessing self-destructive behavior as a familiar occurrence.
Before I go
Preparing to depart or conclude something.
You should know
Asserting that a deception or falsehood is recognized.
I'm calling your bluff
Challenging someone's insincerity or dishonesty.
I hate your guts
Expressing strong dislike or resentment.
Go fix yourself
Advising self-improvement and detachment from the speaker.
Forget my name
Encouraging forgetting and moving on from a past connection.
I'm giving up
Announcing the decision to give up on someone.
I'm giving up
Reiterating the decision to abandon hope or efforts.
I'm giving up
Emphasizing the finality of giving up on the person.
I'm giving
Continuing the assertion of abandonment.
Pushing down the throttle
Accelerating and intensifying negative behavior.
Throwing back the bottle
Engaging in excessive drinking as a coping mechanism.
Pull yourself together, you're not getting better
Urging self-recovery but acknowledging the lack of progress.
Driving to your home that's six feet underground
Heading towards a destructive or isolating destination.
I've given up, up on you
Affirming the finality of giving up on the person.
I've given up, up on you
Repeating the declaration of abandonment for emphasis.
I've given up, up on you
Emphasizing the decisiveness of giving up on the person.
I've given up, up on you
Reiterating the resolute decision to abandon the person.
