The Kid
Reckless Descent: Embracing Chaos in the Wild West
Lyrics
Well things have slowed down, I can't speed up now
Feeling a slowdown in life, unable to accelerate
No you can't live fast, when you got no gas
Living recklessly is impossible without resources (gas)
I'm trouble bound, to a dirty town
Heading towards trouble in a grimy town
My hearts' been vacant, guess I'll begin to descent
Emotionally vacant, contemplating a descent into darkness
Into a hole
Symbolic descent into a challenging or negative situation
I'll keep diggin' and I'll never start to thinkin
Continuing actions without thoughtful reflection
Till I reach the end
Persisting until reaching a perceived end or limit
Of what seems like the world
Reaching a point that feels like the entire world
I'll try to live a life of crime
Attempting a rebellious or unlawful lifestyle
Meet my demise with another valentine
Facing a downfall, possibly linked to a romantic loss
They call me the kid
Identification as "the kid" with a wild and untamed nature
Who's wild as the west
Comparing wildness to the unexplored and lawless west
I think I am
Expressing a belief in one's own wild nature
Sometimes I think that I am
Reflecting on the uncertainty of self-identity
Don't ask me my sins, don't know where to begin
Refusing to disclose personal faults, unsure where to start
You know it's all a blur, and I know you ain't concerned
Acknowledging a blurred and hazy past, indifference from others
If it's all worth nothin, I picked up somethin
Accepting acquired experiences even if seemingly insignificant
Well you can't look back, oh no, you must never look back
Emphasizing the importance of not dwelling on the past
I'll try to live a life of crime
Reiterating the intention to pursue a rebellious lifestyle
Meet my demise with another vice of mine
Facing a downfall with another personal weakness
They call me the kid
Reiteration of being "the kid" with a wild nature
Who's wild as the west
Comparing wildness to the unexplored and lawless west (repeated)
I think I am
Expressing a belief in one's own wild nature (repeated)
Sometimes I think that that I am
Reflecting on the uncertainty of self-identity (repeated)
