Draggin' Me
Overcoming Betrayal: Pretty Skies' Draggin' Me Reveals Resilience
Lyrics
Now I want to see you try
Expressing a desire for someone to make an attempt
I wanna see you try
Reiteration of the desire for someone to try
To drag me out my life
Challenging someone to pull them out of their life
To drag me out my life
Repetition of the challenge to be removed from their life
Lie to me, you, lie to me
Emphasizing the request for deception and emotional display
Cry for me, you, cry for me
-Lie to me, you, lie to me
-Cry for me, you, cry for me
-Got me on the sideway thinking where am I
Feeling disoriented and contemplating one's whereabouts
Didn't want to spend the late-night seeing lights so high
Expressing reluctance to witness intense lights late at night
Once again I'm cursing out loud what have been inside
Voicing frustration about inner turmoil
My own back is cutting board to you I'll hold your knife
Metaphorically portraying one's back as a cutting board, suggesting vulnerability
You've showed all red flags, now loosen
Acknowledging evident warning signs
Called you names, I shorty show sign like I used to
Referring to using offensive language as a reaction to past behavior
Mama said son, beat the one that formerly used you
Recalling advice from a mother to overcome past mistreatment
Be the one that leave a trash bags out the life-sight
Aspiring to be the one who removes negativity from life
That more suits you
Suggesting that such a choice suits the person
Hello old friend, how
Greeting an old friend and questioning their impact
You've been doing since you bodied me out of my feels, how
Asking about the friend's emotional state
You've been hiding your own face from a mirror
Reflecting on the friend's avoidance of self-reflection
Listen
Transition to a listening phase
I've been doing great since the last time we've seen each other
Expressing personal growth since the last encounter
Got a voice, rid of need for recover
Claiming independence from the need for recovery
And I won't replay phrases said before
Rejecting the repetition of past phrases
Hoped that you compete for something more
Hoping for competition and improvement
Something more
Repetition of the desire for something more
Something more
-Something more
-Something more
-Now I want to see you try
Reiteration of the challenge and desire for emotional response
I wanna see you try
-To drag me out my life
-To drag me out my life
-Lie to me, you, lie to me
-Cry for me, you, cry for me
-Lie to me, you, lie to me
-Cry for me, you, cry for me, you, cry for me
-Should I be hating you for my own guard down the hill
Considering whether to harbor resentment for vulnerability
I've traded my steel walls to nifty, cracked, plastic shield
Trading emotional walls for a fragile shield
All of that 'cus you yielded some respect I
Attributing a change to gaining respect
Never thought I'd be so patient to overcome such a riptide
Expressing patience in overcoming difficulties
Burning like a fire, dare you to come closer
Challenging someone to come closer despite potential harm
Unmasked yourself when tried to, show me you're loyal
Revealing vulnerability and seeking loyalty
Sharpened teeth, imagined blood on me but only bit the dust
Imagining harm but experiencing disappointment
It's a quid pro quo Just shut your mouth
Describing a reciprocal relationship, warning to stay silent
I'll deal the woe at last
Anticipating dealing with sorrow
Why would you break a back for me, then blame it on me
Questioning why someone would harm after support
I've pulled the weights for both of us at the same time
Highlighting the effort of carrying burdens for both
I found out your soft adore is sordid affair
Discovering hidden and inappropriate affection
Silence quite was the best thing that you could state
Suggesting that silence is the best response
And I won't replay phrases said before
Reiteration of rejection and hope for improvement
Hoped that you compete for something more
-Something more
-Something more
-Something more just for me
-Now I want to see you try
Repetition of the desire for someone to try and evoke emotions
I wanna see you try
-To drag me out my life
-To drag me out my life
-Lie to me, you, lie to me
-Cry for me, you, cry for me
-Lie to me, you, lie to me
-Cry for me, you, cry for me, you, cry for me
