Canary
Supergloom's Canary: Unveiling the Depths of Dark Desires
Lyrics
There’s a stone in my pocket
Carrying a burden or emotional weight symbolized by a "stone" in the pocket.
For every time we spoke
Each interaction is represented by a stone, suggesting a cumulative impact.
White powder in a bullet
Reference to a dangerous situation, possibly drug-related, with a broken cap.
The cap it broke
The situation has escalated or become uncontrollable.
I don’t know where you’re going
Uncertainty about someone's future path.
But I don’t want to go
Reluctance to follow the same path as the other person.
You don’t owe me anything
Acknowledgment that no debt is owed in the relationship.
A canary in the mine
Metaphorical use of a canary in a mine, signaling danger or warning.
And he’s choking on the air
The canary is suffering, highlighting a worsening situation.
We thought he’d let us know
Expectation that a signal of distress would be noticed, but it isn't.
But no one seams care
Lack of concern or awareness from others.
I think I know where this is going
Anticipation of an undesirable outcome.
And I don’t want to go
Similar to line 6, expressing a desire to avoid a negative path.
You don’t owe me anything
Reiteration that there are no obligations in the relationship.
I don’t think you owe me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of any owed debt.
You don’t owe me
Continuation of the theme of no obligations or debts.
I don’t think you owe me
Reiteration of the belief that no repayment is expected.
You don’t owe me
Consistent expression that there are no owed favors.
You know I fell down that same hole
Shared experience of hardship or difficulty.
And I know it’s dark and bleak
Acknowledgment of a challenging and grim situation.
But some of us gotta stay awake
Recognition that some individuals must remain vigilant despite adversity.
Cause some of us gotta get some sleep
Reasoning for staying awake, contrasting with those who can sleep.
I’m not the one who got away
Clarification that the speaker isn't the one who escaped a situation.
I’m not the one who let it go
Denial of being the person who abandoned or gave up.
Other devils live in me
Introduction of internal struggles or personal demons.
Ones I hope you’ll never know
Recognition of hidden challenges that the speaker hopes others won't experience.
You know I fell down that same hole
Repetition of the shared experience of falling into hardship.
And I know it’s dark and bleak
Reiteration of the darkness and difficulty of the situation.
But some of us gotta stay awake
Restating the need for some to stay awake despite challenges.
Cause some of us gotta get some sleep
Reinforcement of the contrast between staying awake and getting some sleep.
I’m not the one who got away
Emphasis that the speaker isn't the sole person who let go of something.
I’m not the only one who let you go
Acknowledgment that others also let go, possibly relating to a relationship.
Other devils live in me
Reiteration of internal struggles or demons within the speaker.
Ones I hope you didn’t know
Hope that certain challenges are not known or experienced by others.
You know I fell down that same hole
Repetition of the experience of falling into a difficult situation.
And I know it’s dark and bleak
Reaffirmation of the dark and bleak nature of the shared experience.
But some of us gotta stay awake
Restating the necessity for some to stay awake despite challenges.
I’m sorry you had to get some sleep
An expression of regret that someone had to face difficulties and seek rest.
