Lyrics
Out on the streets I'm stalking the night
Engaging in nocturnal activities on the streets.
I can hear my heavy breathing
Feeling the intensity of one's breath while on the prowl.
Paid for the kill, but it doesn't seem right
Received payment for a killing, but it feels morally unsettling.
Something there I can't believe in
Expressing disbelief in something associated with the kill.
Voices are calling from inside my head
Hearing inner voices, possibly conflicting thoughts or emotions.
I can hear them, I can hear them
Acknowledging the presence of inner voices and listening to them.
Vanishing memories of things that were said
Recalling fading memories of spoken words.
They can't try to hurt me now
Feeling immune to attempts to cause harm based on past experiences.
But a shot in the dark
Referring to a risky or uncertain action taken without certainty.
One step away from you shot in the dark
Being very close to a critical or decisive moment.
Always creeping up on you all right
Persistent and gradually approaching danger.
Taught by the powers that preach over me
Learning from influential figures who preach authority.
I can hear their empty reasons
Hearing reasons from authoritative figures, which may sound hollow.
I wouldn't listen, I learned how to fight
Rejecting advice and learning to resist or combat challenges.
I opened up my mind to treason
Opening the mind to betrayal or disloyalty.
But just like the wounded
Comparing oneself to the wounded or vulnerable.
And when it's too late
Reflecting on regrets when it's too late to change.
They remember, they surrender
Those wounded remember and yield to their circumstances.
Never a care for the people who hate
Disregarding those who harbor hatred or negativity.
Underestimate me now
Requesting not to be underestimated at this moment.
But a shot in the dark
Reiterating the precariousness of the situation.
One step away from you shot in the dark
Being just one step away from a critical situation.
Not a thing that you can do
Expressing powerlessness in the face of imminent danger.
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
Highlighting the persistent and unpredictable nature of danger.
All right
Confirming the seriousness of the situation.
But just like the wounded
Repeating the analogy of being wounded and reflecting on it.
And when it's too late
Emphasizing the regretful recollection after it's too late.
They remember, they surrender
Reiterating the surrender of those facing consequences.
Never a care for the people who hate
Dismissing concern for those who hold negative feelings.
Underestimate me now but a shot in the dark
Repeating the request not to be underestimated.
One step away from you shot in the dark
Reemphasizing the proximity to a critical moment.
Not a thing that you can do
Reiterating the inability to change the situation.
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
Stressing the persistent and unpredictable nature of danger.
All right
Confirming the seriousness of the situation once again.
Just a shot in the dark
Repeatedly emphasizing the uncertainty and risk in the situation.
Just a shot in the dark
-Just a shot in the dark
-Just a shot in the dark
