Swan Song
Swan Song Revelations: A Rebel's Journey Beyond Limits
Lyrics
Well the telephone rang but I missed the call
Missed a phone call while engaged in unlawful activities.
Cause I was to busy out trying to break the law
Too occupied trying to break the law to answer the call.
Only nineteen but I knew it all
At the age of nineteen, felt knowledgeable and experienced.
Two bad tattoos and an attitude problem
Possessed two regrettable tattoos and had an attitude problem.
I seen the sun go down in the Westside
Witnessed the sunset on the Westside.
I've taken one or two home for a test drive
Took people home for a "test drive" (possibly referring to relationships).
It ain't what I need it's about what I want
Desire is not about what is needed but what is wanted.
And I don't want to take it no more
Unwilling to tolerate the current situation any longer.
This could be the end
Contemplating that this could be the end of a situation.
I'm not holding on
Not holding on to the current circumstance.
I can't go on any longer
Expressing inability to continue in the current state.
So listen close my friend
Urging the listener to pay attention to the upcoming message.
I may be moving on
Hinting at the possibility of moving on from the current situation.
Please just think of me now when I'm gone
Requesting the listener to remember them after they're gone.
Yeah This is the swan song
Declaring that this is the swan song, possibly signaling the end of something significant.
When the curtain falls at the concert hall
When a performance concludes, leaving contact information for future connection.
I'll be writing my number on the bathroom wall
Leaving a personal number on a bathroom wall for contact.
For a good time call me anytime you want
Inviting anyone interested to call for a good time.
But I may not listen 'cause I heard it all
May not listen because they feel they've heard it all before.
This is a swan song
Reiterating that this is a swan song, emphasizing its importance.
Come on sugar sugar do you wanna ride?
Asking if someone wants to accompany them, possibly in a rebellious or risky endeavor.
This is a swan song
Reiterating that this is a swan song, mentioning they have time.
(?) then I got the time
Unclear line, marked with (?), suggesting some ambiguity or uncertainty.
This is the swan song
Repeating the declaration that this is the swan song.
I know I said it already but that was last night
Acknowledging a previous statement made the night before.
And I don't wanna take it no more
Reiterating the unwillingness to tolerate the current situation any longer.
