Lyrics
You are far more likely
You are more likely to face negative outcomes
To be devoured than empowered
Being overwhelmed rather than strengthened
By your sense of romance
Due to your idealized view of love
Oh, doleful girl
Expressing sadness and sorrow
Alone in the world
Feeling isolated in the world
Where did her true love go?
Wondering where her true love has gone
Well I'd like to know
Expressing curiosity about the absence of true love
This means everything to me
Emphasizing the importance of the situation
Hope someone will see
Wishing for someone to understand
That those innocent days were a life ago
Reflecting on the bygone days of innocence
You are far more likely
Reiterating the likelihood of negative outcomes
To be devoured than empowered
More prone to harm than benefit due to romantic notions
By your sense of romance
Reemphasizing the impact of romanticized views
Even the most gentle of folk
Suggesting even gentle people can react strongly when provoked
Will snap when provoked
Highlighting the potential for aggression when triggered
I ain't scared no more
Claiming a lack of fear
I've said that before
Having expressed this lack of fear before
I sense it on your breath
Sensing a negative vibe or emotion
You're frozen in your depths
Feeling trapped or stuck in emotions
Where did the good guys go?
Questioning the disappearance of virtuous individuals
Well I'd like to know
Expressing a desire for understanding regarding the absence of good people
Save your secrets for those who deserve it
Suggesting to keep personal matters private for deserving individuals
But like the rice pounded out by a rabbit
Using a metaphor to convey distance from comprehension
I'm miles away from ever understanding
Expressing difficulty in understanding the necessity to be more mature
Why I had to be more of a man then
Reflecting on the expectation to be more mature than others
