Grave Mistake
Grave Mistake: A Melodic Odyssey of Love and Regret
Lyrics
Another grave mistake I’m six foot underground
The singer feels they've made a significant error and are suffering consequences, feeling buried metaphorically.
For every step you take is one foot in my mouth
Every action taken worsens the situation or causes problems (one step forward, one mistake).
Another time or place, another bond to break
There have been prior instances where bonds or relationships were broken.
And yet I know another bridge to burn is more than I can ever take
Realization that destroying another relationship would be overwhelming.
We build it up to watch it fall
Building something up only to witness its collapse.
Don’t make the same mistake that I had made before
Advice to avoid repeating the same mistake experienced previously.
We share the same heart after all
Despite issues, there's a shared emotional connection.
Now it's a grave mistake that I must face alone
The consequences of the mistake must be faced alone.
I made you test your patience
The singer caused frustration or tested someone's patience.
You really test my nerves
The other person also causes irritation or frustration.
You're not the kind of girl that leaves me face down
The partner doesn't abandon the singer in difficult times.
in the dirt
Expresses feeling defeated or humiliated.
You really test my patience
The partner also tests the singer's patience.
I really test your nerves
Reciprocal irritation towards each other.
But you’re a testament, you’re everything I don’t deserve
Feeling undeserving of the partner's loyalty and commitment.
We build it up to watch it fall
Repeated reference to the cycle of building something only to see it fail.
Don’t make the same mistake that I had made before
Repeated warning to avoid repeating past mistakes.
We share the same heart after all
Emphasizes the shared emotional bond despite issues.
Now it's a grave mistake that I must face alone
The consequences of the mistake must be faced alone.
Down and out no doubt about it
Feeling defeated or at a low point.
Devil on the right side laughs about it
Suggests an inner conflict with one's morality or conscience.
Angel on the left left long before you fell
The sense of losing guidance or protection.
Grace has left me pale in sorrow
A sense of loss or absence of grace or kindness.
In pity of the grave mistakes to follow
Regret over upcoming mistakes despite being foreseen.
A telling of a foretold time, but time will tell
An acknowledgment of the inevitable nature of time revealing outcomes.
We sacrifice the pain in life
Sacrificing pain or enduring hardships in life.
The decision that we make we take in mind
Decisions made considering consequences.
To beat ourselves with the hand of blame
Self-blame is destructive to relationships.
Is to kill the ones we treat the same
Blaming oneself harms those close to us.
I made you test your patience
Repeating the earlier sentiment of causing frustration or testing patience.
And you really test my nerves
Reiterating the reciprocal irritation or frustration.
But you’re a testament, you’re everything I don’t deserve
Feeling unworthy of the partner's loyalty.
You really test my patience, I really test your nerves
A cyclical testing of each other's patience and nerves.
But you’re a testament, you’re everything I don’t deserve
Reinforcing the feeling of being undeserving of the partner.
We build it up, we build it up, we build it up
Continuing to build something despite the likelihood of failure.
We build it up to watch it fall
Repetition of the idea of constructing something to witness its collapse.
Don’t make the same mistake that I had made before
Repeated advice to avoid past mistakes.
We share the same heart after all
Emphasizes the shared emotional connection despite difficulties.
Now it's a grave mistake that I must face alone
Reiteration that the consequences of the mistake must be faced alone.
Now it's a grave mistake that I must face alone
Reiterating the isolated consequences of the mistake.
