The Line
Defiant Boundaries: Unveiling Phoenix Verum's Resilience in 'The Line'
Lyrics
You can't move me
You can't influence or affect me emotionally.
I'm a mountain
I am steadfast and unyielding like a mountain.
You can't screw me
You can't manipulate or control me.
I won't allow it
I won't permit it; I have boundaries.
If you try baby I don't mind
If you attempt to challenge me, it doesn't bother me.
You're wasting everybody's time
Your actions are wasting everyone's time.
You should know that
A reminder that the speaker is resolute.
And watch the blowback
Be prepared for the consequences of your actions.
I can't fool me
I cannot deceive myself; I see through falsehoods.
'Cause I see through you
The speaker perceives the truth, even if it involves pain.
Through the pain deep
A reference to deep emotional pain within someone.
That's deep within you
Despite challenges, everything will ultimately be okay.
Even though everything will be fine
A realization that time is running out.
You know that you're running out of time
The speaker doesn't mind the limited time; they will be fine.
I don't mind that
Expressing acceptance of the situation.
'Cause I'll be fine yeah
Confident assurance that the speaker will be okay.
Even if you tell me that you must go away
Even if told to go away, the speaker remains unfazed.
And the essence of my being rubs you up the wrong way
A declaration that one's true nature may not be pleasing to others.
I don't care (care), and this I swear (swear), listen up just one more time
Despite indifference, a promise is made to listen once more.
You will find, I've drawn The Line
The speaker has set a boundary – "The Line."
Through the Darkness
Amidst challenges, there is a source of strength.
There's a flame
A metaphorical flame symbolizing resilience.
I am stronger
The speaker is resilient and enduring.
All the same
Despite challenges, the speaker remains unchanged.
When you stroll back into my life
When someone returns, the speaker will be cautious.
You know that I'm going to think twice
There will be careful consideration upon someone's return.
You should know that
Reiteration of the need for caution.
And watch the blowback
Consequences should be anticipated upon return.
Even if you tell me that you must go away
Even if asked to leave, the speaker remains unaffected.
And the essence of my being rubs you up the wrong way
Acknowledgment that one's essence may be discomforting.
I don't care (care), and this I swear (swear), listen just one more time
Despite this, the speaker will listen once more.
You will find, I've drawn The Line
Reiteration of the boundary – "The Line."
Even if you tell me that you must go away
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing resilience.
And the essence of my being rubs you up the wrong way
Reiteration of the discomfort caused by one's essence.
I don't care (care), and this I swear (swear), listen just one more time
Despite this, the speaker remains unaffected.
You will find, I've drawn The Line
Final affirmation of the established boundary – "The Line."
