The Venomous Kind
The Venomous Kind: A Tale of Survival, Sacrifice, and Breaking the Cycle
Lyrics
I've only got one trick
I have a single method or strategy
And it goes like this
Describing the execution of the trick
I find a nice place to hide
Finding a concealed location
Where I know you'll fly by
Anticipating the target's movement
When I see you with
Observing with youthful eyes
My twenty-something eyes
Using a metaphor for age
I'll shoot you with poison
Metaphorically intending harm due to fear
Because I'm too afraid to fight
Choosing not to confront directly
And I'll spin you into a web
Entangling the target in a web for amusement
Not a meal, but for fun instead
Not for sustenance but for enjoyment
Spin spin spin
Repeating the action of spinning the web
'Til you're wrapped from toe to head
Continuing until the target is fully wrapped
And I'll wrap you up so tight
Ensuring a tight and restrictive hold
You'll decay from the inside
Causing internal decay of the trapped
So you rot rot rot
Emphasizing the process of decay
'Til time has made you ripe
Waiting for the right moment
I've got so much pride
Expressing a sense of self-worth
Take a look at my stripes
Highlighting personal accomplishments
You're no match for my fangs
Asserting superiority with poisonous fangs
They're the venomous kind
Describing the nature of the fangs
Never thought I would die
Unexpectedly facing mortality
Then one day it was time
Realizing the inevitability of death
I was eaten alive by my young
Being metaphorically consumed by offspring
Who did it so that they could survive
Children taking action for survival
No more spinning you in webs
Renouncing the previous harmful actions
At least not me, because I'll be dead
Acknowledging personal demise
I'll die die die
Expressing willingness to sacrifice
To make the ultimate sacrifice
Aiming for the ultimate sacrifice
And I wish that I had time
Regretting a lack of time for guidance
To explain what I learned in life
Desiring to share life lessons
So they won't won't won't
Wishing to spare others from hardship
Have to relive all my strife
Aiming to prevent a repeat of personal struggles
And now that they've grown
Referring to the grown offspring
I'll reap what I sow
Facing consequences for past actions
All the pain that I caused
Acknowledging the pain caused to others
Will soon be my own
Anticipating personal consequences
And now that this world's theirs
Recognizing a new generation's ownership
And now knowing what I know
Gaining insight into life's realities
I hope they can break the cycle
Expressing hope for breaking negative patterns
I hope they can break the cycle
Reiterating the desire for positive change
I hope they can break the cycle
Emphasizing the wish for a different outcome
I hope they can break the cycle
Repeating the hope for breaking cycles
