Down and Out
Rising from Shadows: A Tale of Broken Bonds
Lyrics
Out of the box, out of the kitchen.
Leaving a conventional or restrictive situation.
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of.
Escaping a world that has become intimidating.
I don't ever want to see you again.
Expressing a strong desire to cut ties.
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend.
Reiterating the wish to end the relationship.
This is the end.
Emphasizing that this marks the conclusion.
Out of the house, she grabs the keys, runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter.
A woman hastily leaving without explaining.
That way the impact will be much better.
Leaving without a note to intensify the impact.
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of.
Escaping from a man who instills fear.
I don't ever want to see you again.
Repeating the strong desire to avoid future encounters.
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home when the sun went out about an hour ago?
Questioning the need for sunglasses indoors.
Life should not be that way.
Reflecting on the unnaturalness of life.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Advising to remain resilient despite challenges.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Experiencing disturbing dreams affecting speech.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces.
Encouraging to express concerns before it's too late.
Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces.
Observing the breakdown of marriages.
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces.
Noting the disintegration of friendships.
Weekend warriors, and our best friends.
Referencing transient relationships and camaraderie.
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end.
Acknowledging the inevitability of endings.
Then again some things are far too good to go ahead and let go.
Recognizing the reluctance to let go of valuable things.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Encouraging resilience despite ups and downs.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Experiencing unsettling dreams impacting communication.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Reiterating the need to speak up before it's too late.
We won't forget Tony or Johnny.
Remembering and honoring individuals named Tony and Johnny.
No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road.
Despite missing, wishing the best for those on a different path.
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France.
Specifically mentioning someone (Garrett) moving on.
Now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls.
Illustrating a positive transformation in Garrett's life.
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace.
Referencing various literary and musical works.
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late Figure 8.
Listing influential works or concepts.
Weekend warriors and our best friends.
Reiterating the transient nature of relationships and camaraderie.
The writers weren't kidding about the good things will live in our hearts.
Acknowledging the lasting impact of positive experiences.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Encouraging resilience despite life's challenges.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Experiencing unsettling dreams impacting communication.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces.
Reiterating the need to speak up before it's too late.
