Sting Me
Unveiling Life's Sting: The Black Crowes' Powerful Message
Lyrics
If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
If you have a strong urge to cause chaos or rebellion, don't suppress it
Put your good foot forward
Take a positive step forward
No need for heroics I just want you to show it
No need for heroic acts, just display it
Now's the time to shine
It's the moment to showcase your abilities
Your independence is a half ass deliverance
Your freedom or self-reliance is only partly liberating
The train left the station
Opportunity has passed or the chance has been missed
The recognition of the same old condition
Acknowledgment of a recurring, familiar situation or problem
Your symptoms showing through
Your signs of trouble are evident
Well regardless of the truth
Irrespective of reality
You still act so aloof
You still seem distant or detached
In the face of your judge & jury
In the presence of those who judge you
You nave the nerve to say not guilty
You have the audacity to claim innocence
But can you sting me
Can you hurt me emotionally?
Can you sting me
-Right to my rotten bones
Deeply, affecting my core
Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century
Public attention is drawn to significant crimes
By courtesy of your mother
Because of your mother's influence or support
The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery
Welcome to a place where discoveries are made, influenced by wealth
Look at what money can buy
Consider the material possessions that money can afford
Sons & daughters better open your eyes
Youth, be aware of reality
Tell me what you're seeing
Describe what you perceive
This submission is a tired tradition
Submission to a routine that's become tiresome
It's everyone's sacrifice
Everyone's giving something up for the greater good
Well believe you me
Believe me when I say
I've got nothing up my sleeve
I have no hidden agenda
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder
I only have sincerity and unresolved grievances
Yes I'm young and don't like getting older
Admitting reluctance towards aging
Yeah but can you sting me
But can you emotionally wound me?
Can you sting me
Can you emotionally wound me?
Right to my rotten bones
Deeply, affecting my core
Come on my sweet little thing
Invitation or encouragement to show something new
What new things can you show me today
Questioning about what you can offer today
I got one question
Possibly a query that's open to interpretation
I believe it's subjective
A belief that's open to personal interpretation
What is a wasp without her sting?
A metaphorical inquiry about a wasp's defining feature
I don't want to sound bitter
Desire not to come off as resentful
Yeah you touch me just like murder
Your touch feels like a deliberate, hurtful act
Living ain't so easy
Life is challenging
When all I want from you is to sting me
All I desire from you is to cause me emotional pain
Can you sting me
Can you emotionally wound me?
