Porter Rd.
Bittersweet Echoes: Unraveling the Depths of Porter Rd.
Lyrics
Lately her words live on beneath me
Feeling the weight of recent words spoken by her, impacting deeply.
The world appears so empty
The world seems devoid of meaning or significance.
Falling out of line
Straying from the expected path or societal norms.
Now all I got is time
Having ample time on hand now.
Live for sinister pleasures
Choosing to live for dark or ominous pleasures.
No use counting feathers
There's no point in focusing on trivial matters.
Before I fly away
Preparing to depart or leave.
The needle hits the hay
Using a metaphor ('needle hits the hay') for going to sleep.
She says, "Good things last forever"
Belief in the longevity of positive things.
"Yes what's good only gets better," in jest
An acknowledgment that positive things tend to improve.
For bittersweet adverse, I said
Recognizing the mix of sweetness and sorrow in life.
"What's bad only gets worse"
Highlighting the potential worsening of negative situations.
It's a bitter-bitter world
Emphasizing the harshness or severity of the world.
She lost me
Feeling disconnected or estranged from her.
'Fore anybody caught me
Before anyone could understand or catch on.
Body meet a body
A reference to a meeting or encounter.
Coming through the rye
A reference to the poem 'Comin' Thro' the Rye' by Robert Burns, possibly indicating a desire to protect innocence.
Won't let this world rob me
Not allowing the world to take away what's essential.
Of all that's not forgot me
Preserving personal identity and significance amidst challenges.
I dream in fields of poppies
Imagining a dreamlike state amidst opium fields.
I dream in black and white
Dreaming in absolutes, devoid of color.
Now I'm dreaming of that night
Remembering or longing for a specific night.
They're beating me blind
Experiencing a severe beating, whether literal or metaphorical.
Destiny is only second guessing
Feeling uncertain about the inevitability of fate.
Teaching me a lesson
Life continuously offering valuable lessons.
Well haven't I learned it yet?
Questioning the effectiveness of learning from experiences.
"Put my mind to rest," she says
Requesting peace of mind from someone.
Irony is best in jest
Humor used to highlight the irony of a situation.
Save the bane of my existence
Preserving the source of ongoing pain or suffering.
Stuck in this hard head
Feeling trapped or stubborn in one's beliefs.
Slipped through the fists of death!
Escaping death narrowly or avoiding a dangerous situation.
You haven't got me yet
Asserting resilience against external forces.
You haven't got me yet
Reiterating resilience or strength against adversity.
You haven't got me yet
Continued assertion of resilience against challenges.
