Lyrics
I tried going a whole day without taking your name in vain
I attempted to refrain from mentioning your name throughout a whole day.
Cause someone told me it means so much more than some quick tempered phrase
Because I was informed that using your name has a deeper significance than a hastily spoken, angry expression.
Do I even want to know my worst offense?
Am I willing to confront and understand my most significant wrongdoing?
Only discoverable looking through your lens
My faults are only evident when viewed through your perspective.
A quick tempered man does a foolish thing
A person who easily loses their temper behaves foolishly.
But what do you say about the man that sings about his past like he won't go back?
What can be said about someone who sings about their past as if they are determined not to revert to it?
It feels like a lawyer's dodge to make my case against the judge
It seems like a deceptive maneuver, akin to a lawyer's strategy, to build a case against a judge.
And get away with everything I've done and end up above
Attempting to avoid accountability for my actions and end up in a superior position.
Will you give me the strength to fight myself every step of the way?
Asking for strength to resist my own destructive tendencies at every stage of my journey.
Will you show to me the length of my evil days?
Hoping to be shown the extent of the time I spent engaged in wrongful deeds.
I used to wanna ride on eagle wings
I used to aspire to experience a sense of freedom and elevation.
I used to wanna feel that peaceful breeze
I used to desire the sensation of a calm and gentle breeze.
It all feels like you're holding me underneath
Now, it feels like you are keeping me submerged or confined.
Dear dad, sorry for making the family look so bad
Addressing a message to one's father, expressing regret for tarnishing the family's reputation.
My wicked ways are set
Acknowledging the persistence of one's immoral actions.
They gained control of the innocence I had left
These actions have taken away the last traces of innocence I possessed.
Just write me off as your black sheep
Accepting the role of the family's troubled member, asking to be labeled as the black sheep.
I get too much in my own head
Admitting to overthinking and getting lost in one's own thoughts.
But I am longing for the solace I never had
Expressing a deep desire for the comfort and peace that has always been lacking.
