Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch: Struggles Unveiled
Lyrics
It's under shirt sleeves
Refers to something hidden or unnoticed beneath the surface.
Bare shoulders and now
Exposed or revealed, possibly vulnerability or openness.
Tattoos of the things we love the most
Tattoos symbolize significant aspects of one's life or identity.
And it's retold with amazing success
A recounting of experiences with notable success.
And it seems so brave but it's just a sucker punch
An apparent act of courage that turns out to be deceptive or harmful.
And so I
The speaker expresses anger or resentment.
I glower and plot
Brooding and planning revenge.
And I will wreck you
A declaration of intent to harm or destroy.
Chorus
Introduction of a recurring theme or concept.
It's what we loved in this family
Highlighting what is cherished within the family.
Only in my head
Suggests that the cherished elements exist only in the speaker's imagination.
It's knees and elbows
Physical aspects reduced or changed.
Melted down instead
Transformation or alteration of the original.
Groups of things you tell yourself
Groups of ideas or beliefs held internally.
I'm solid it's just that nobody knows
Assurance of solidity despite external ignorance.
It's replayed with precision and care
Retelling of experiences with meticulous attention.
And why are you even talking
Questioning the legitimacy of someone else's perspective.
You weren't even there
Dismissing someone's credibility due to absence.
So I
Reiteration of anger or resentment.
I glower and plot
Continued brooding and planning revenge.
I will wreck you
Reiteration of the intent to harm or destroy.
Chorus [x2]
Repetition of the earlier theme, emphasizing its significance.
And we're waiting, waiting, waiting
Impatience or frustration with waiting.
Are you done?
Asking if a process or action is complete.
Do you wonder whatever became of this
Reflecting on the outcome or consequence of a situation.
Have you ever tried to call
Querying attempts to communicate or reconnect.
I won, I tried, I gave it a shot
Persistence and effort in trying despite challenges.
We've grown, graduate and married
Mentions growth, graduation, and marriage as life milestones.
I would want to know these things
Expresses a desire for information about important life events.
I won, I tried and I gave it a shot
Reiterates the effort and attempt made.
So we ache to be different
Desire for uniqueness or individuality despite uncertainty.
Even though we don't really know how
Acknowledgment of the difficulty in achieving distinctiveness.
I won, I tried and I gave it a shot
Reiteration of effort and attempt made despite challenges.
