Sweetwater
Sweetwater Symphony: Unveiling Life's Betrayals and Wicked Games
Lyrics
It doesn't feel like I'm asking for too much
Expressing a sense of discontent, feeling like the speaker's requests are reasonable.
The water is sweet, my time is short
Metaphorical reference to life being short, comparing it to sweet water; implies a limited time.
It doesn't feel like I've lost all my touch
The speaker doesn't feel completely incompetent; there's still some capability remaining.
Ground under my feet, I've got my fort
Stability and security are represented by having a "fort" under the speaker's feet.
You've let me down, lied through your teeth
Someone has betrayed the speaker, lying extensively.
Gave all I had had I known who I had not to trust
Past trust misplaced; regrets investing everything in someone unworthy.
The oil is rust, our time is short
Metaphor of decay and limited time, possibly relating to a relationship or situation.
All of my family, my love on your wings turned to dust
All love and connections with family have disintegrated into nothingness.
The water is mud, the place of my trust
The once pure and trustworthy environment has turned muddy and unreliable.
And you let me down, lied through your teeth
Reiteration of betrayal and deception by someone close.
Left me for dead, left the world to swallow me up
Feeling abandoned and facing the harshness of the world alone.
Up on the edge of the end is a buffalo jump, oh
A critical point or decision represented by the metaphorical "buffalo jump."
I feel it coursing through my veins
Sensation of a powerful emotion flowing through the speaker's veins.
Short side of a wicked, cheated game
Being on the losing side of an unfair or deceitful game.
I guess that's how things go now
Acceptance of a harsh reality, suggesting resignation.
I guess that's how things go now
Repetition emphasizing acceptance of the current unfavorable situation.
I've felt better before
Reflecting on a better past, expressing a sense of nostalgia or regret.
Oh, we've been trying a little hard
Acknowledging persistent effort despite challenges.
But that's alright, we're alright
Optimistic note, expressing that despite difficulties, things are ultimately okay.
Oh, graduating from the ring
Symbolic reference to overcoming challenges and moving beyond a difficult stage.
Out of sight, like those summer nights
Being out of sight, possibly alluding to escaping or moving on from troubling memories.
