Black and Blue
Lost Faith and Broken Souls: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Twisted Wheel's 'Black and Blue'
Lyrics
I lost my faith in the words of these empty souls,
I have lost my trust in the words of insincere individuals.
And people ask why I lose control,
People wonder why I struggle to maintain composure.
I don't believe in hindsight of the jilted mind,
I don't believe in the wisdom gained after a failed relationship.
As long as it lingers there'll always be no time
As long as the pain persists, there will be no respite.
You've been swinging right and left this time,
You have been indecisive in your actions recently.
Charlene puts her pills into her wine,
Charlene mixes her medication with alcohol.
It's a leap of faith she never wanted to make,
She takes a risky step she never desired.
She'll no longer pay her life off to the state
She refuses to sacrifice her life for the government anymore.
Although they said she'd never get through,
Despite the odds, they insisted she would not overcome challenges.
They beat the poor one black and blue,
The less privileged one was physically abused.
Black and blue
Repeated: Physically abused, marked by bruises.
I don't believe in anyone,
I have lost faith in everyone.
I barely trust myself,
I have little trust in myself.
She took the pills and now she's gone,
Someone took pills, and now they are no longer alive.
I hope you're having fun,
I hope you find joy in the consequences of your actions.
I don't believe in anyone
Repeated: I have lost faith in everyone.
Doctor Jimmy told me I'd be fine,
Doctor Jimmy assured me that I will be okay.
A few more grapes in your wine and get in line,
Suggested: Consume more alcohol and conform to societal expectations.
You have never needed such a help in hand,
You've never needed assistance like this before.
Watch the sky disappear as you sink into the sand
Witness the fading hope as you succumb to despair.
She was just your average local girl,
She was an ordinary local girl.
Never wanted any part of the so-called system,
She rejected involvement in the corrupt system.
She was just a cold and lonely soul,
She was a distant and isolated soul.
Never wanted any part of the so-called system
Repeated: She rejected involvement in the corrupt system.
