Lyrics
I been born, I been killed, I been burnt, I been drilled
I've experienced birth, death, pain, and emotional distress
I been sad, I been sold, I been spurned and I been stoned
I've felt sadness, betrayal, rejection, and the effects of drug use
I put my trust in trust, tried hard not to hold a grudge
I trusted in trust itself, tried not to hold grudges
I gave my heart on loan but it never found its way back home
I gave my heart, but it never returned
Oh how was I so blind?
Expressing regret for not realizing certain things earlier
Some things you cannot see
Acknowledging the existence of things unseen
But they all came clear to me
Realization dawns about previously unclear matters
In a house somewhere on a hill so bare
Describing a remote house on a barren hill
I sit real tight, watch day blend into night
Observing the passage of time and changing surroundings
New sounds new sights, sweet air and a strange light
New experiences and a sense of strangeness
But back home I see smoke through my little telescope
Contrasting a peaceful scene with a troubled home
They can burn for all I care
Indifference to the troubles back home
No it's not animosity
Clarifying that it's not about animosity, but exhaustion
I was tired and I needed sleep
Expressing fatigue and the need for rest
On the night that I called it a day
Referring to a significant turning point in life
I burned my bridges, tore out the page
Burning bridges and moving on, leaving the past behind
Let's blow the whistle 'cos I'm tired of this game
Expressing a desire to end the current situation
Gotta go, gotta go.
Feeling the need to move on
Got stuck in mud, 'cos I trust too much
Getting stuck due to excessive trust
I blame just me, should've seen the smoke screen
Accepting personal responsibility for not seeing deception
Like a dog that barks too much, I never felt his bite as such
Comparing oneself to a barking dog, realizing the potential danger
Just needed that little break, a bit of neck is all it takes
Needing a break and understanding the consequences
Oh, how was I so blind
Regret for not realizing certain things earlier
Some things you cannot see
Reiteration of the existence of unseen things
But they all came clear to me
Realization dawns about previously unclear matters
On the night that I called it a day
Referring again to a significant turning point in life
I burned my bridges tore out the page
Continuation of moving on, leaving the past behind
Let's blow the whistle 'cos I'm tired of this game
Expressing a desire to end the current situation
Gotta go, gotta go
Feeling the need to move on
Let go the brakes, let go the brakes
Encouragement to release inhibitions and move forward
