Black Hearted Ways
Embracing Shadows: Tim Easton's Tale of Redemption and Regret
Lyrics
You took the news like a good zombie should,
You accepted the news calmly, similar to how a zombie would react.
The old man's blues fell on you with a shiver.
The emotional burden of an elderly person's troubles affected you deeply, causing a shiver.
It was far too late to react in any other way,
It was too late to respond differently; you knew you were being fired but didn't expect it today.
You knew you were getting let go just not today.
You were aware that you were losing your job but didn't anticipate it happening on this particular day.
They found you outdoors, running with the unfortunates.
You were discovered outside, associating with unfortunate individuals.
Now they're sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
Now, you're being compelled to return to your previously unscrupulous or morally corrupt behavior.
I understand you had to seize it,
It's understood that you had to take advantage of the situation.
The young one chooses to bleed it like a river.
The younger person opted to endure the situation, akin to bleeding like a river.
The sun was up and gone by the time you killed desire,
The time came when desire had to be extinguished with the rising and setting of the sun.
It was time to trade the land for steady water.
It was time to exchange the familiar land for a more stable environment, symbolized by steady water.
They found you outdoors, running with the unfortunates.
Similar to before, you were found outside, associating with unfortunate individuals.
Now they're sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
Consequently, you are being directed back to your morally questionable ways.
I can't remember whose fault it really was,
Uncertain whose fault it truly was, but finding solace when it was claimed to be yours.
But you found comfort when I said it was mine,
Comfort was found when responsibility was attributed to you.
I suppose you made that bed on the day that you decided.
The consequences were the result of decisions made on a specific day.
They'd find you outdoors, running with the unfortunates.
Once again, you were discovered outdoors with unfortunate companions.
Now they're sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
You are being sent back to your morally dubious ways.
They found you outdoors, running with the unfortunates.
Reiteration of being found outside with unfortunate individuals.
Now they're sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
Reiterating the consequence of being directed back to morally questionable behavior.
They're sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
The repetition emphasizes the action of being sent back to morally questionable ways.
Sending you back to your black-hearted ways.
Reiterating the consequence of being directed back to morally questionable behavior.
