Adolescence Repressed
Unveiling the Shadows: A Tale of Repressed Adolescence
Lyrics
Sometimes murder seems so close.
Sometimes the idea of committing murder feels very close.
Did you think if I let it slide I am not the same person?
Questioning if overlooking certain actions implies a change in one's identity.
Year to year I never grew up right.
Throughout the years, the speaker struggled to mature properly.
Childhood bliss, hardened heart.
Early happiness in childhood contrasted with a now toughened heart.
I am not the same.
Emphasizing a transformation, asserting they are not the same person.
Day to day burdens of repetitive violence.
Daily challenges marked by repetitive acts of violence.
You are the king of the block.
Addressing someone as the dominant figure in the neighborhood.
Who am I?
Existential questioning about personal identity.
Don't let me see you alone.
Warning against being seen alone.
Don't blink, I am damned if you blink.
Asserting the severity of consequences if one blinks or looks away.
Walk with others or walk with the devil.
Choosing companions wisely, suggesting a choice between good and evil.
I swear you will pay for your sins.
Promising repercussions for past wrongs or immoral acts.
Good things happen to those who wait.
Expressing belief in delayed rewards for patience.
I have waited long enough.
Impatience with waiting, suggesting a breaking point.
Die for everything you have done.
An extreme statement urging consequences for all actions.
You lived by the gun.
Implying a life led with a weapon, perhaps in a dangerous manner.
I hope you die by one.
Expressing a desire for a fitting end related to a violent lifestyle.
I have a conscience or I would do it myself.
Claiming a moral dilemma prevents personal involvement in violent acts.
I have a conscience or I would do it myself.
Repetition of the moral dilemma, highlighting internal conflict.
I am never the same.
Reiterating the theme of personal transformation.
