Bullies on Vacation
Confronting the Shadows: A Tale of Anger, Redemption, and a Bully on Vacation
Lyrics
A bully enjoying his vacation
A bully is enjoying a break from his usual activities.
Oblivious to all our confrontations
The bully is unaware of any conflicts or disagreements.
Speaking fondly of his junior years
Reflecting nostalgically on his earlier years.
When I was fighting tears
Recalling a time when the speaker struggled with tears due to the bully.
A bully enjoying his vacation
Reiteration of the bully's enjoyment during his vacation.
I can taste the anger and the hate
The speaker can feel the bully's anger and hatred.
I have come to set the record straight
Expressing the intention to correct the record or set things straight.
Twenty years seems long enough to wait
Implying that waiting for twenty years is long enough for a resolution.
A bully enjoying his vacation
Repetition of the bully's enjoyment during his vacation.
Cruising with my nemesis on high seas
Describing a cruise with the speaker's nemesis on the high seas.
Five drinks, he doesn't recognize me
The nemesis is intoxicated and doesn't recognize the speaker.
Full of anticipation
Feeling excited and looking forward to something.
I don't notice his depression
The speaker is oblivious to the nemesis's depression.
Cruising with my nemesis on high seas
Reiteration of the cruise with the nemesis on the high seas.
My act of concern is just to tease
The speaker's apparent concern is just a form of teasing.
I'm about to send him to his knees
The speaker is about to humiliate the nemesis and make him beg.
So close to force him begging please
Close to forcing the nemesis to plead for mercy.
He mentions terminal disease
The nemesis reveals a mention of a terminal disease.
A bully enjoying his vacation
Repetition of the bully's enjoyment during his vacation.
And how he feels someone is dangling
The nemesis feels like someone is controlling his vile existence.
His vile existence on a string
Describing the nemesis's perception of being manipulated on a string.
And now the sea he's conquering
The nemesis now feels powerful, conquering the sea.
Knows he can conquer anything
Confident that he can conquer anything.
A bully enjoying his vacation
Repetition of the bully's enjoyment during his vacation.
Aware of his terminal condition
The nemesis is aware of his terminal condition.
Frustrated by my indecision
The speaker is frustrated by his own hesitation or indecision.
Knowing I'd regret this very day
The nemesis knows the speaker will regret the confrontation.
I hit him anyway
The speaker hits the nemesis despite knowing the consequences.
Aware of his terminal condition
Reiteration of the nemesis's awareness of his terminal condition.
Once again, he got the best of me
Admitting defeat, the speaker once again succumbs to the nemesis.
I left him conquering the sea
The speaker leaves the nemesis triumphant, conquering the sea.
A bully enjoying his vacation
Repetition of the bully's enjoyment during his vacation.
