Lyrics
Long day at work, I drop into bed
Expressing exhaustion after a long day at work
Stuck in a loop, now I wish I was dead
Feeling trapped in a repetitive and negative cycle, expressing a desire for escape
Lost all hope, when I feel a call
Having lost hope, until receiving a mysterious call
Then I turned as stiff as a doll
Reacting with stiffness or shock to an unexpected revelation
Open my eyes, I spot the deceiver
Opening eyes and identifying a deceptive figure
Stuck in awe, never been a believer
Feeling astonished and skeptical, lacking belief
Tried to resist, I clench my fists
Attempting resistance with clenched fists
I'm getting pissed, as he grabs my wrists
Growing angry as the deceptive figure seizes control
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
He shows me all the things I could have
The deceptive figure reveals potential alternate life possibilities
A different life, a different path
Reference to a different life and path
He holds out a sizzling, fiery hand
The deceptive figure extends a tempting and intense offer
I shake it, now my future is planned
Accepting the offer, and consequently, the future is determined
A soul for a goal, a hand for a band
Trading one's soul for a goal, and forming a binding connection
I'm locked in, my wish is his command
Feeling trapped and obligated to fulfill the deceptive figure's commands
Everything starts to fall into place
Things falling into a planned sequence or order
The chains are locked and the plans are laid
Reference to being bound by commitments and plans
This deal I've made has determined my fate
A deal made that determines the individual's destiny
Now my heart starts to flood with hate
Emotionally reacting with growing hatred
Something is wrong, the sands have shifted
Sensing something going wrong, feeling a shift in circumstances
A strike of pain, my soul is twisted
Experiencing a sudden pain and distortion of the soul
My blood turns ice, I'm paying the price
Reacting to the consequences with a physical and emotional response
I knew my pain would get me paradise
Recognizing the expected price for seeking paradise
He shows me all the things that I could have
Repetition of the earlier revelation of alternative possibilities
A different life, a different path
Reiteration of a different life and path
He holds out a sizzling, fiery hand
Repeating the tempting offer of the fiery hand
I shake it, now my future is planned
Reaffirmation of accepting the offer and the predetermined future
A soul for a goal, a hand for a band
Reiteration of the binding connection formed
I'm locked in, my wish is his command
Reemphasizing the feeling of being locked in and obligated to follow commands
Better things coming, my blood turns to ice
Expressing a belief in better things to come despite a chilling feeling
Better things coming, no matter the price
Confidently anticipating positive outcomes regardless of the cost
Better things coming, I gave up my life
Acknowledging the sacrifice of giving up one's life for the promise of better things
Better things coming, rolled the devils dice
Referring to taking a risk with uncertain consequences, possibly influenced by a darker force
Better things coming
Reiteration of the expectation of better things in the future
B- B- Better things coming
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of better things coming
Better things coming
Continuation of the emphasis on the anticipation of better things
Better things coming
Final reinforcement of the belief in better things to come
