Lyrics
It took so long to see what you could be
Reflecting on the time it took to realize one's potential.
Your head's so high
Describing a person with a confident or arrogant demeanor.
You think the sun shines between your knees
Expressing arrogance, believing in one's exceptional qualities.
The storm's clouds come your way
Anticipating challenges or difficulties approaching.
Do you know what they bring?
Raising awareness of potential negative consequences.
You're living your lies i'll get up
Accusing someone of living a deceptive life.
There and cut your wings
Threatening to expose the deception and hinder success.
I'm glad you never came
Expressing relief that a person did not intervene or interfere.
And if you think you're shining let it rain
Suggesting that arrogance will be humbled by challenges.
Your dreams just slip away the shifting sands
Describing the gradual loss of dreams like shifting sands.
Your eyes too quick to see
Criticizing quick judgment and lack of perception.
Your heart won't take the time to understand
Highlighting a lack of empathy or understanding from the heart.
The memories of a virtuous you
Recalling memories of a once virtuous self overcome by control.
Smothered by my heavy hand
Describing a stifling influence on the virtuous side.
An angel with no wings
Portraying an individual as an angel without the expected qualities.
You're a cancelled flight too proud to land
Comparing oneself to a canceled flight, too proud to admit failure.
Succubus in disguise
Suspecting deceit, portraying someone as a seductive force.
I can see it through your brown eyes
Seeing through deception, possibly referring to eye color.
Fooled me once, can't fool me again
Warning against being fooled again after a previous deception.
Three times a charm, get down and bend
Emphasizing the charm of repeated deceptions.
A storm is brewing, here comes the rain
Announcing an impending crisis or difficult situation.
Riding on you high holy horses
Criticizing those who act self-righteous or holier-than-thou.
No games to play
Stating that there are no more deceptive games to play.
So many pretty faces which one
Pondering the choice among many attractive options.
Is it gonna be today?
Questioning which face will be chosen today.
An angel with no wings, a devil with no horns
Reiterating the angelic appearance without corresponding qualities.
Too proud to feel the pain unlucky one
Describing someone too proud to acknowledge pain or failure.
I am to say
Expressing the speaker's unfortunate role in revealing the truth.
