Bandoliers
Journey Through Shadows: The Soul's Battle in Bandoliers
Lyrics
I feel guilty when I smile.
I experience guilt when I smile.
Unless it's upside-down,
Smiling is only acceptable when it's upside-down.
cnd then I drown,
During these moments, there is a feeling of drowning.
Until I come around.
This drowning sensation continues until I come around.
My soul is bourbon bound.
My soul is strongly connected to bourbon, a type of alcohol.
It's been hard to hold.
It has been challenging to maintain composure.
Some nights I lose control.
Some nights I struggle to control myself.
I try, but I don't know.
Despite efforts, there is uncertainty about success.
I want mercury in mine on ice.
Expressing a desire for mercury in a drink, possibly metaphorical.
I want to have it here.
Desire for the presence of something specific (mercury) in the moment.
Pray for another dawn,
Expressing a wish for another day to begin.
While I don, don, don my bandolier.
Putting on a bandolier as a symbolic act, preparing for challenges.
I'm going to fight it all for all my life.
Determined to confront and overcome challenges throughout life.
I want to reach the day.
Expressing a desire to reach a specific day in the future.
With our glasses raised,
Envisioning a celebratory moment with raised glasses.
Will you recognize my face?
Questioning if others will recognize the speaker's face in the celebration.
Our friends were frozen to the floor.
Friends are metaphorically frozen, possibly stuck or immobile.
We await the judge.
Awaiting judgment or a decision in a situation.
We trade exhausted love,
Bartering tired or drained love for a destructive force from above.
For death from above.
Suggesting a trade-off between love and a potentially harmful force.
Can you imagine how it happened?
Pondering the circumstances leading to a particular event.
Well, neither can I.
Uncertain or unable to recall the details of the event.
Thought we had it made,
Initially thinking everything was perfect.
When we fell hard and locked eyes.
A moment of intense connection and attraction with someone.
If I am honest today, maybe I'll live with myself.
If honest today, there's a chance to live with oneself.
I'm still lost in the shade, where light's mistaken for Hell.
Feeling lost in a difficult situation where light is mistaken for darkness.
Can you imagine how it happened?
Repeating the pondering of the circumstances of an event.
Well, neither can I.
Continued uncertainty or inability to remember the details.
Thought we had it made,
Recalling a moment of intense connection and attraction.
When we fell hard and locked eyes.
If honest today, there's a chance to live with oneself.
If I am honest today, maybe I'll live with myself.
Still affected by a challenging situation where light is mistaken for darkness.
I'm still asleep in the shade, where light's mistaken for Hell.
The speaker remains in a state resembling sleep, where light is perceived as Hell.
