The Bad Thing
Echoes of Regret: Unveiling the Haunting Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
Save me, save me
Expressing a plea for salvation
God forsake me
Feeling abandoned or rejected by God
On the flat stones with black bones, there lay my baby
Describing a grave or burial site for the speaker's baby
It was a cold December, cold and rainy
Setting the scene in a cold and rainy December
My knees felt heavy and my muddy hands shaky
Physical and emotional struggle indicated by heavy knees and shaky hands
I tore apart the earth just to get back to my baby
Expressing desperation and determination to be with the baby
I ripped the flesh right off the bone just to feel him again
Symbolic act of extreme measures to reconnect with the lost loved one
But now I'm sinking in the grey
Describing a feeling of sinking into despair
Sinking in the grave
Indicating a descent into the grave, possibly metaphorical
And heaven heard that I did a bad, bad thing
Referring to a past action recognized as morally wrong
I did a bad thing
Repetition emphasizing the acknowledgment of guilt for the bad thing done
I did a bad thing
-I did a bad thing
-I did a bad thing
-I did a bad thing
-I did a bad thing
-I did a bad thing
-Oh, I did a bad thing
-Sometimes night brings out
Reflection on the darker aspects of nighttime, contemplating doing morally questionable things
Faces you don't see
-My map is in my blood
-From the places I have been
-Who in their right mind
-Would do the shit you're asking?
-I'll give it one good try
-To make him do the bad thing
-Sometimes night brings out
Reiteration of the theme with slight variations, expressing the internal conflict
Faces you don't see
-My map is in my blood
-From the places I have been
-But who in their right mind
-Would do the shit you're asking?
-I'll give it one good try
-To make him do the bad thing
-Dead boys
Introduction of "dead boys" and "no noise," possibly representing a sense of lifelessness or silence
No noise
-Who in their right mind
Continuation of the internal struggle, questioning the reason behind the actions
Would do the shit you're asking?
-I'll give it one good try
-To make him do the bad thing
-To make him do the bad thing
Repetition emphasizing the desire or attempt to make someone do the bad thing
To make him do the bad thing
-To make him do the bad thing
-To make him do the bad thing
