In Reverse
Exploring Time's Irreversible Tale
Lyrics
There's no going back, and why would you want to - yeah!
Embracing the present; no desire to return to the past
This memory you've got fixed in your head
A vivid memory that isn't deceitful like certain underground dwellers (CHUDs)
It's not as dishonest as the CHUDs but let's not be misled
Comparing the memory's honesty to avoid misleading perceptions
STATE TERRORRRRRRRRR YEAH
Expression of state terror (possibly chaotic or oppressive situations)
If yr of a mind to press rewind, I can't let you be my guest
Resisting the idea of revisiting the past
Mass shootings flash floods but in reverse
Reversing tragic events like mass shootings and floods
(Un)less you were a good ol' boy, the good ol' days didn't exist
Rejecting the notion that past times were universally better
But a certain stripe of liberal just wants to hear the greatest hits, like -
Criticizing a type of liberal mindset that seeks familiar, nostalgic concepts
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Cycle of returning to the start after reaching a pinnacle
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Continual repetition of a pattern or cycle
Then I get to the bottom I'm subpeona'd again, damn
Being compelled to face legal matters repeatedly
We might have to move forward instead
Suggesting the need for progression
Abuse of power by the hour but in reverse
Undoing instances of abuse of authority
Hellfire gone skyward but in reverse
Reversing catastrophic events like hellfire rising
I had a dream the devil wanted me dead by my own hand
A dream where self-destruction was desired by an evil force
So just to spite him, I'm gonna live forever instead
Defying negativity and choosing to live indefinitely
He's off the chain, out the bottle, out of pocket, but fuck it
Describing an unleashed, unpredictable situation despite consequences
But I guess that's what you get with a long leash and a short attention span
Linking freedom and a lack of focus to potential chaos
And there's no going back again
Reiterating the impossibility of returning to the past
But until quantum physics pays the bills in this house
Humorous reference to reversing time through quantum physics, highlighting its impracticality
Time's a one-way street and there's no going in reverse
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of time
