My Gun
Love's Battlefield: A Tale of Redemption in 'My Gun'
Lyrics
I gave her the means, she had the will
I provided her with the means to act, and she had the determination.
I kept on pushin', for the kill
I persisted in my actions, aiming for a decisive outcome.
I never thought, she'd finish me
I never anticipated that she would bring about my downfall.
As she shot me down and left me to bleed
She shot me, leaving me wounded and abandoned.
With my gun (x6)
Repetition for emphasis - the mention of the "gun" as a symbolic element.
Mmmmmm
Non-verbal expression, possibly conveying emotional pain or contemplation.
Open my eyes, my body cold
I regained consciousness, feeling physically numb.
It shouldn't end this way, I want to grow old
Expressing a desire for a different outcome, a wish to live a longer life.
Scramble to my feet and stumbled home
Struggling to stand and returning home after the traumatic incident.
I forgave my girl, I don't want to be alone
I forgave my partner, not wanting to face loneliness.
She took me back and stitched me up
She accepted me back and tended to my wounds.
The whole time smiling 'cause she won
Despite my forgiveness, she seemed content because she achieved victory.
But one day I'll get back
Hope for retaliation or redemption in the future.
My gun (x6)
Repetition of the desire to reclaim a symbolic "gun" as a source of power.
Yeah
An affirmation or acknowledgment of the previous statements.
She took me back and stitched me up
Reiteration of the reconciliation and the impact of her victory.
The whole time smiling 'cause she won
Restating her satisfaction despite the reconciliation.
But one day I'll get back
Reaffirmation of the hope for future empowerment or revenge.
My gun (x6)
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to reclaim the symbolic "gun."
But one day I'll get back
Reiteration of the longing to regain the symbolic source of power.
My gun (x6)
Final repetition emphasizing the strong desire to reclaim the symbolic "gun."
