Throw
Navigating the Road to Redemption: Decoding Scritti Politti's 'Throw'
Lyrics
I can't find a stand to take to or from the road to ruin
I'm struggling to find a position or direction, either towards or away from a path leading to destruction.
Sure I've got the sense to make a record of my own undoing
I acknowledge my ability to document my own mistakes and failures.
I should like to mention, a friend or some relation
Expressing a desire to mention a friend or family member.
I can throw you farther, then you can trust me, son
Claiming the capability to distance or disconnect emotionally more than the other person can trust.
I go back from time to time to indeces and empty schools
Reflecting on past experiences and memories, possibly nostalgic, associated with indices and empty schools.
All now are dull sublime, all were then my golden rules
Past experiences, now seemingly mundane, were once important guiding principles.
But you know I'm lying, I'm just sick and tired of trying
Admitting dishonesty and fatigue in efforts, possibly in relationships or endeavors.
You could throw a party and maybe I'll be there
Suggesting that a party invitation may be extended, but attendance is uncertain.
Get me out of here
An urgent plea to be removed from the current situation.
Let me show you my arms
An invitation to reveal vulnerabilities or struggles symbolized by showing one's arms.
I prefer the water's edge, seven locks and three cliffs bay
Expressing a preference for a contemplative place, possibly by the water with specific geographical references.
No allegiance left to pledge more than that I could say
Denying any remaining allegiance or commitment beyond what can be verbally expressed.
I was never better, life before the letter
Stating a lack of improvement in life after receiving a letter, suggesting a downturn.
They can throw me comfort crumbs but they can't bake the cake
Others can provide minimal comfort, but they can't solve the underlying issues.
Get me out of here
Reiterating the desire to escape the current situation.
Let me show you my arms
Repeating the invitation to reveal vulnerabilities or struggles symbolized by showing one's arms.
Get me out of here
Reiterating the urgent plea to be removed from the current situation.
Let me show you my arms
Repeating the invitation to reveal vulnerabilities or struggles symbolized by showing one's arms.
Get me out of here
Once again, expressing the desire to be removed from the current situation.
Let me show you my arms
Once again, extending an invitation to reveal vulnerabilities or struggles symbolized by showing one's arms.
...
Continuation of the plea and invitation.
