Riot of Love and Lost Trust
Lyrics
They'll tear you to pieces
There are forces that will cause significant harm or destruction to you.
They'll eat you for breakfast
They will consume or overpower you effortlessly.
Turn off the houselights
Darken the environment, creating a sense of concealment or mystery.
While you run for the exits
As chaos ensues, make a hasty escape or seek safety.
A moment of silence
Respectful quietness, perhaps indicating a pause for reflection or mourning.
A history of violence
A past filled with a recurring pattern of violent incidents.
The soundtrack is sirens
The accompanying sounds are reminiscent of emergency situations.
You get what you pay for
Quality or outcome is commensurate with the investment made.
So tell me who you are
Revealing one's true identity or essence is important.
Nothing left to pray for
There's nothing remaining to hope or wish for.
So crash it like a car
End it forcefully or abruptly like a car crash.
And I'm never gonna let you go
Commitment to not release or abandon someone.
No we're never gonna let you
A reaffirmation of the commitment not to let go.
For months on the island
During an extended period on an isolated place.
The villages were quiet
Peaceful existence in the villages for an extended time.
Then came the rapture
Sudden and significant change or event, possibly referencing religious belief.
And the movement behind it
The force or ideology that drove this significant change.
We flooded the vessels
Caused an overflow in the vessels, potentially metaphorical or literal.
Cause you fell for a tyrant
You were deceived or manipulated by a cruel ruler or leader.
My love was peaceful
The speaker's love was peaceful despite being labeled otherwise.
But you called it a riot
Your perception twisted their peaceful intentions into chaos.
Everything you do
Everything done seems to be incorrect or flawed.
It's all wrong
There's a feeling that all trust placed in someone has been misplaced.
All of my trust in you
All the trust previously given has vanished or been lost.
It's all gone
There's no need for the person's presence anymore; relief is found in their absence.
I don't need you to be there for me
Able to find solace or comfort when the person is not around.
I can breathe when you're gone
Emphasizing the relief experienced in the person's absence.
(When you're gone)
(Parenthetical repetition of the relief found in the person's absence.)
You get what you pay for
Reiterating that what's received is equivalent to what's invested.
So tell me who you are
Asking again for the person's true identity or nature.
Nothing left to pray for
No hope or aspirations left to hold onto.
So crash it like a car
End it abruptly or forcefully, similar to a car crash.
And I'm never gonna let you go
Commitment to not release or abandon someone, repeated.
No we're never gonna let you go
A reaffirmation of the commitment not to let go, repeated.
Everything you do
Continued belief that everything done is flawed or incorrect.
It's all wrong
All trust previously given to someone is now deemed misplaced or lost.
All of my trust in you
Emphasis on the complete loss of trust in the person.
It's all gone
Reiteration of the total loss of trust in the individual.
