You All Had One Neck
Unveiling Dark Desires: The Coward Robert Ford's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
When I grow up
Expressing a desire or vision for the future.
I'll be a selfish man
Anticipating a self-centered and possibly morally questionable adulthood.
Cut off from all of my friends
Envisaging isolation from current social connections.
When I grow up
Reiterating the theme of growing up and its associated attitudes.
I wanna cast a stone
Expressing a desire to pass judgment or condemn others.
Wash off blood that ain't my own
Wishing to cleanse oneself from guilt or responsibility for harm caused.
Cinderblock, oh cinderblock
Metaphorically referring to a solid foundation or a strong, unyielding force.
The knot's tied tight
Describing a situation where a decisive action is imminent and irreversible.
And it's ready to drop
Suggesting a readiness for a significant consequence or event.
Cinderblock, oh cinderblock
Repetition of the metaphor, emphasizing the impending and unstoppable nature of an action.
Hands held high
Depicting a determined and defiant stance, facing a potential fall or downfall.
So the fall don't stop
Highlighting the commitment to endure the consequences of actions taken.
When I grow up
Continuing the theme of future aspirations and their darker implications.
I'll buy a piece of land
Desiring to acquire property and indicating a willingness to engage in unethical practices.
Own some slaves and cut off hands
Expressing a disturbing willingness to engage in oppressive and violent behavior.
When I grow up
Reiterating the theme of growing up with a focus on destructive tendencies.
I wanna burn the iron
Expressing a desire to cause harm or mark oneself with a symbol of violence.
Bullet hole, so I can fondle my scar
Describing a physical mark as a memento of engaging in violent or harmful actions.
