Lyrics
Just to be right I lied for
Admitting to deception in order to appear correct.
Twenty-something years, maybe more
Reflecting on a period of at least twenty years marked by falsehoods.
Menacing rivals with no recourse
Facing formidable adversaries without available solutions.
And in your eyes the time was
Perceiving a time in your eyes when conflict seemed inevitable.
Never not just right for fighting wars
Highlighting the constant readiness for battles that existed.
Man, did we life good? Yeah we did, sure
Questioning the quality of life experienced during that time.
And the pretty pose you're making now
Observing a current display of elegance that contrasts with past actions.
As this gallows draws its crowd
Noting the attention drawn to a situation with severe consequences.
Brings back all I love about you
Recalling positive aspects of the person despite past actions.
About you
Reiterating the focus on positive qualities despite challenges.
You trimmed your rose garden
Symbolic action of removing unwanted elements from a relationship.
Cut the rose heads off and then
Taking decisive action by eliminating potential issues.
Left the thorns there, sharp as whips
Leaving behind painful aspects that can still cause harm.
Cold blood, smoldering judge
Describing someone as cold-hearted with a judgmental attitude.
Holding the righteous needle
Depicting a figure holding a needle of justice, implying consequences.
It's gonna reach us now, for real
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing consequences.
Old laws, frozen and thawed
Referring to established rules that may be rigid or inflexible.
Don't give a fuck what we know
Expressing disregard for established norms or knowledge.
They're going to bring our pride to heel
Predicting a loss of pride due to external forces.
And as long as our big love
Asserting that a strong love can sustain the relationship.
Is enough to hold us up
Stating that love is sufficient to endure challenges.
Well then, darling, we can just
Suggesting the possibility of living within the strength of love.
Live inside it
Embracing the idea of finding solace within the love shared.
And if you start wondering
Addressing potential doubts about the magnitude of love.
Just how big our big love is
Encouraging a recollection of the significant impact of love.
You remember it's what set this world on fire
Attributing the power of love to causing profound changes.
Just like a giant rag doll
Comparing someone to a powerless, manipulated figure.
Just like a giant rag doll
Reiterating the comparison of powerlessness and manipulation.
Just like a giant rag doll, but your haircut's wrong
Extending the comparison to include personal appearance critiques.
And your wristwatch cost too much
Commenting on superficial aspects like appearance and materialism.
