Lyrics
One time I'ma say
Expressing a decision to speak or confess something important.
I'ma lock myself away
Intention to isolate oneself, possibly emotionally or physically.
Put myself inside the cage
Metaphorically entering a confined and restrictive state.
No else in here is safe except me now
Claiming that safety is found in isolation, distrust in others.
Back up
Warning to keep a distance or retreat.
You don't want to see me run away
Desire to avoid confrontations or challenges by running away.
Back up
Reinforcing the warning to put away any potential harm.
Yeah you better put the gun away
Suggesting that using violence or force is not the solution.
Act up
Warning that undesirable consequences will follow misbehavior.
And I'm gonna take the fun away
Asserting control and eliminating the source of enjoyment.
Had enough
Expressing fatigue but acknowledging that challenges persist.
But the shit is never over
Highlighting the enduring nature of difficulties.
I still make mistakes I'm only human
Acknowledging personal fallibility and ongoing learning.
You don't take the blame cause you don't do shit
Attributing blame avoidance to others' inaction.
It's bout time for you to face the music now, yeah
Calling for accountability and facing consequences.
Every day I feel like giving up
Expressing a recurring feeling of wanting to give up.
Pour some of that liquor in my cup
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism for emotional pain.
Take the deal don't read it rip it up
Rejecting opportunities or deals without consideration.
Ain't no telling where I'm ending up
Uncertainty about the future and where it may lead.
Face first
Metaphorically falling into challenging situations headfirst.
On the ground where I always be
Emphasizing a consistent state of being on the ground.
Nightmares
Referring to recurring distressing thoughts or memories.
Is the place that you're haunting me
Acknowledging the haunting impact of certain memories.
Face first
Expressing a desire to be in a challenging situation.
On the ground where I want to be
Reiterating a preference for facing difficulties headfirst.
Nightmares
Indicating an inability to escape from distressing dreams.
I can't wake up from this fucking dream
Expressing a feeling of being trapped in a nightmarish situation.
I have no idea but I might be going
Uncertainty about the direction or outcome of life.
Let's just pretend that the camera's not rolling
Creating a hypothetical scenario where one's actions are not observed.
This might be the last time that you see me now, yeah
Suggesting the possibility of impending disappearance or departure.
Every day I feel like giving up
Repeating the feeling of wanting to give up on a daily basis.
Pour some of that liquor in my cup
Continuing to use alcohol as a means of escape.
Take the deal don't read it rip it up
Consistently rejecting opportunities or deals without consideration.
Ain't no telling where I'm ending up
Reiterating uncertainty about the future and its outcomes.
One time I'ma say
Repeating the decision to speak or confess something important.
I'ma lock myself away
Reiterating the intention to isolate oneself.
Put myself inside the cage
Repeating the metaphorical entry into a confined and restrictive state.
No else in here is safe except me now
Reiterating the claim that safety is found in isolation.
Back up
Repeating the warning to keep a distance or retreat.
