Lyrics
He steps in readily
Readiness and willingness to engage or confront.
Stops em dead in their tracks
Commands attention and halts others abruptly.
On 7th street
Specific location reference, possibly symbolic.
He says the Grim Old Reaper
Refers to death as an inevitable force.
Keeps calling to me
Sensing a constant connection or attraction to death.
The dead don't get
Nothing is offered or provided to the deceased.
Nothing from me
Emphasizes a lack of generosity towards the deceased.
What am I to do
Expresses a state of uncertainty or dilemma.
What am I to do
Repetition underscores the sense of indecision or helplessness.
Cant stay close
Unable to maintain proximity due to physical harm.
Cause my bodies bruised
Physical injuries causing a need for distance.
An unseen ghost
A presence that is not visible but impactful.
With an unlit fuse
A potentially dangerous situation with no apparent trigger.
Sad life I'm living
Describes a sorrowful and melancholic existence.
Can't wait to be forgiven
Eagerly anticipating absolution or pardon.
There's a passport in my room somewhere
A document symbolizing the potential for new beginnings.
But you won't find any stamps in there
No evidence of experiences or journeys on the mentioned document.
Sad life I'm living
Reiteration of the somber nature of the current life.
Where being stuck is a given
Being stuck or trapped is accepted as a constant.
Sad life I'm living
Recurrence of the description of a sorrowful existence.
Can't wait to be forgiven
Repetition of the desire for forgiveness and redemption.
There's a passport in my room somewhere
Reference to a potential escape or change in circumstances.
But you won't find any stamps in there
Confirmation that the escape has not yet occurred.
