Red on White
Surrendering to Truth: Red on White by Stabbing Westward Unveiled
Lyrics
Now I'm so tired, so so tired of working this out
Expressing fatigue and frustration with the effort of figuring things out.
Going to give myself up, up to the truth of what this is, of what I am
Committing to facing the truth about oneself and the situation.
Take from me all of my blood, take from me all of my head
Symbolically surrendering one's essence, both blood and thoughts.
This is the best thing I can do
Acknowledging a drastic action as the best course of action.
Why is it me instead of you
Pondering the unfairness of personal suffering compared to others.
(I come down)
Reiterating a descent or surrender, possibly into a darker state of mind.
Now this is real
Affirming the reality of the current situation or emotional state.
I can't go back, caught up with everything here tonight
Feeling unable to revert to a previous state, overwhelmed by current circumstances.
Going to fuck myself up
Expressing a self-destructive inclination.
Going to throw myself away
Contemplating discarding oneself, possibly through destructive behaviors.
Going to give this to you
Intending to give something significant away, possibly one's emotional burden.
Give you what I've become
Offering the transformed self to someone else.
First red on white then red on red
Describing a sequence of events, starting with a conflict represented by "red on white."
I left my sould back in my bed
Indicating a detachment from one's spiritual or authentic self.
This is the best thing I can do
Reiterating the belief that the drastic action is the best available choice.
Why is it me instead of you
Reflecting on the unfairness of personal suffering in comparison to others.
(I come down)
Reiterating a descent or surrender, echoing a theme from earlier in the lyrics.
