Dead Man's Shoes
Unraveling Memories: Twilight Creeps' Dead Man's Shoes
Lyrics
Where the hell did you go were your living a lie
The speaker questions where the person they're addressing went and wonders if they were living a dishonest life.
I feel like time was on our side
They feel that time used to be in their favor.
Stopped me from stuttering
They were confident and fluent, but something has stopped them from being so.
Now that I've lost all my memories
The speaker has lost all recollection of their memories.
Can't say I blame you for the way
The speaker doesn't blame the addressee for taking away their memories.
You took them all from me
The addressee is responsible for taking away the speaker's memories.
These cloudy summer nights
The speaker describes nights that are unclear or filled with confusion.
Got me hearing what you said
They're hearing and possibly rethinking what the addressee said.
Got me living like a stranger in your bed
The speaker feels disconnected, like a stranger, while sharing a bed with the addressee.
Don't slow me down
They don't want to be slowed down by something or someone.
I've been starting fires
The speaker has been causing disruptions, possibly metaphorically with their actions.
Been leaving little messages on your grave
Leaving messages or reminders at the addressee's grave, indicating their absence or departure.
I know that it's not sane
The speaker acknowledges that their actions might not be mentally sound.
But nothing is
They express a feeling that nothing is rational or stable.
I've walked this road for miles
The speaker has walked a long path, possibly symbolic, in someone else's unfortunate situation.
In a dead man's shoes from the cemetery
They're metaphorically wearing the shoes of someone deceased from a cemetery.
Now everything's okay
Despite the challenging situation, everything seems fine now.
Cause nothings in my way
There are no obstacles in the speaker's path anymore.
(Nothings in my way)
(Reiterated: Nothing obstructs the speaker's path)
There's something broken in my brain
The speaker feels like something is wrong or damaged in their mind.
I feel like everything I do
They believe their actions and behavior don't align with their past self.
Is not who I used to be
They question if there's a way out of their current suffering.
Is there anyway out of this misery
Wondering if they've reached a state of contentment despite their misery.
Or am I finally happy now
The speaker is uncertain and will wait to see if they'll find happiness.
I guess we'll wait and see
They're unsure about their current state and await the outcome.
