Run for Your Life
Escape the Shadows: Unraveling the Vengeance Within
Lyrics
Now you see what it is like
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions.
Living by the rules you write
Living according to self-imposed rules.
The lies you recite
Reciting lies, possibly deceitful behavior.
Not very polite
Highlighting impolite actions.
But soon the snake will strike
Warning of an impending danger, possibly betrayal.
A venomous savage bite
Describing a venomous and aggressive attack.
And vengeance is mine
Seeking revenge for perceived wrongs.
What's gone is gone forever
Acceptance that past events cannot be changed.
Now your loneliness cuts like a knife
Loneliness becoming emotionally painful.
Run for your life there's no mercy tonight
Urging someone to escape without hope of mercy.
There's no chance in sight
No possibility of a positive outcome.
Open your eyes
Encouraging awareness and perception.
Turn your head towards the light
Turning towards positivity and enlightenment.
And run for your life
Reiterating the need to escape for survival.
Look at time and where its spent
Reflecting on the passage of time and self-awareness.
You can t recognize yourself
Losing one's identity due to life's demands.
This is your last dance
Describing a critical and final moment.
Twisted and bent
Being distorted and broken by life's challenges.
Consequences have real pain
Emphasizing real and lasting consequences.
Your chance to start again
Opportunity for a fresh start, but it's missed.
It came and went
Expressing the fleeting nature of chances.
What's gone is gone forever
Accepting the permanence of past events.
Now your loneliness cuts like a knife
Loneliness intensifying and causing emotional pain.
Run for your life there's no mercy tonight
Repeating the urgency to escape without mercy.
There's no chance in sight
No hope for a positive change or resolution.
Open your eyes
Encouraging awareness and perception once more.
Turn your head towards the light
Turning towards positivity and enlightenment again.
And run for your life
Reiterating the need to escape for survival.
Keep on running
Continuing the theme of escaping and avoiding consequences.
Playing your games
Engaging in self-serving actions, possibly deceitful.
But fate is keeping score
Fate keeping a record of one's actions and choices.
Looking for that hole in the fence, that door
Searching for an escape route but finding none.
But your freedoms denied, denied
Realizing the denial of freedom due to past actions.
Now you've run out of time
Time running out, facing the consequences.
