Gauntlet
Navigating Regret: We Are Scientists' Gauntlet Unraveled
Lyrics
Well, this will eat me inside if I decide to let it
Expressing internal conflict and the potential consequences of a decision if made.
But there's no limit to how far I might go to get it
Willingness to go to great lengths to attain or achieve something despite potential drawbacks.
Just tell me when and where
Seeking information about when and where a certain situation will occur.
And I'm as good as there
Confident in commitment, ready to be present or participate when required.
I know that this tendency won't get me very far
Acknowledging a self-destructive tendency that may hinder progress or success.
Oh, if I had known
Regret or surprise about the unfolding events, suggesting lack of foresight.
that was how it'd go
Reflecting on how things turned out, possibly with a sense of disappointment.
I would not have come
If aware of the outcome, the speaker might not have embarked on the journey or endeavor.
all this way
Expressing the effort and distance covered in reaching a particular point or situation.
I knew that I would regret this the moment I did it
Acknowledging an anticipated feeling of regret associated with a past action.
It's quite a distance to travel through just in three minutes
Highlighting the considerable distance or challenges faced within a short time span.
Once you got me here
Being at a point of no return, where the consequences are inevitable.
I was as good as dead
Acknowledging a sense of vulnerability or peril upon reaching a certain stage.
I guess that some things don't change no matter where we are
Observation that certain aspects of one's character or behavior remain consistent regardless of location.
Oh, if I had known
Reiteration of regret or surprise about the unfolding events, emphasizing the unexpected nature.
that that was how it'd go
Reaffirming that if aware of the outcome, the speaker would have avoided the journey or action.
I would not have come
Reemphasizing the effort and distance covered in reaching a particular point or situation.
all this way
