Fake Alliance
Navigating Turbulent Bonds: Fake Alliances & Forbidden Games
Lyrics
So I'll wait
Expressing a willingness to wait.
Until you catch that plane
Waiting for the person to catch a plane.
Wait until you're safe-and-sound, until you land
Waiting for the person to safely land.
Hey
A casual greeting or call for attention.
Get off that fucking plane
Urging the person to get off the plane due to nervousness.
It's because I'm nervous when you're in the air
Expressing anxiety when the person is in the air.
Nobody would bathe twice in the same river
Reflection on the transient nature of experiences using a river metaphor.
Another chance fucked up, can't be forgiven
Regret over a missed opportunity that cannot be forgiven.
There's someone that bathes thrice in the same river
Contrasting with line 7, someone finding hope and inspiration in repetition.
It gives me hope and it gives me shivers
The repetition in line 9 is a source of both hope and excitement.
Oh, many times I feel like I'm stuck in the mire
Feeling stuck and unable to escape a difficult situation.
I can't get out, the relation is so dire
Describing a dire and challenging relationship.
Friends and strangers call it fake alliance
Labeling the connection with others as a "fake alliance."
But though I'm helpless I admire the reliance
Despite helplessness, expressing admiration for the reliance on this connection.
But in the end of the day
Reflecting on the challenges faced throughout the day.
Hey mister pilot land that god damned plane!
An urgent plea for the pilot to land the plane.
No second chance
Emphasizing the lack of a second chance or opportunity.
And nothing more to say
Acknowledging the end of discussion or communication.
So put me on the altar of forbidden games!
Desiring to be part of forbidden activities or experiences.
Nobody would bathe twice in the same river
Reiteration of the river metaphor, emphasizing uniqueness.
Another chance fucked up, can't be forgiven
Repetition of regret over a missed chance.
There's someone that bathes thrice in the same river
Similar to line 9, finding hope and excitement in repetition.
It gives me hope and it gives me shivers
Reiteration of the positive feelings associated with repetition.
Oh, many times I feel like I'm stuck in the mire
Restating the feeling of being stuck in a challenging situation.
I can't get out, the relation is so dire
Reiterating the difficulty of escaping a dire relationship.
Friends and strangers call it fake alliance
Repetition of the label "fake alliance" by others, acknowledging their perspective.
But though I'm helpless I admire the reliance
Despite helplessness, continuing to admire the reliance on the perceived fake alliance.
