Lyrics
I've seen some things I swear
I have witnessed some challenging experiences, and I affirm their occurrence.
Yeah life's not fair
Life is not always just; it can be unfair.
Round and around and around it goes
Life's uncertainties and challenges persist in a continuous cycle.
What's next? Who knows?
We are uncertain about what will happen next; the future is unpredictable.
Our sorry states were tailor made
Our unfortunate circumstances seem deliberately designed for us.
Custom piece with the fabric frayed
We are unique but worn and torn, like a custom piece of fabric.
We're a close knit so I'll wait
We are closely connected, so I will patiently wait for something.
We're a tight fit so I'll stay
We fit together well, so I will remain in this situation.
And I'll hang in more ways than one
I will endure difficulties in multiple ways.
On your every word
I will be deeply affected by everything you say.
It's more majestic than a gun
Your words have a powerful impact, more majestic than a gun.
But a coward's what I am
I admit to being a coward and avoiding confrontation.
So I'll just turn and run wrong direction
In my fear, I will turn and run in the wrong direction.
One last question are you in or are you out?
Posing a final question: Are you committed or not?
'Cos I'm not done
I'm not finished dealing with this situation.
The smoke lies on your TV light
Smoke metaphorically obscures the truth on your TV screen.
So I'll turn around
I will turn away from the obscured reality.
As it rests upon your eye line
The smoke settles on your line of sight, further distorting perception.
And I'll just wait for you to say
I will patiently wait for you to communicate.
Anything, say anything
Express anything; speak your mind.
Save your breath as I decay
Your words are futile as I deteriorate.
Take your time, I'll waste away
I will waste away as you take your time.
Did I let you down?
Did I disappoint you?
Are you sticking 'round? Are you in or out?
Are you staying with me or leaving? Are you committed or not?
One last question, forgot to mention
A final question, perhaps forgotten to mention earlier.
Heeeeeeey
Extended emphasis on "Hey."
That I'll hang in more ways than one
Reiteration of enduring difficulties in multiple ways.
On your every word
I am deeply influenced by your every word.
It's more majestic than a gun
Your words have a powerful impact, more majestic than a gun.
But a coward's what I am
I acknowledge my cowardice and tendency to avoid confrontation.
So I'll just turn and run wrong direction
In my fear, I will turn and run in the wrong direction.
One last question are you in or are you out?
Pose a final question: Are you committed or not?
'Cos I'm not done
I am not finished dealing with this situation.
I've seen some things I swear
Reiteration of witnessing challenging experiences.
The smoke lies on your TV light
Smoke metaphorically obscures the truth on your TV screen.
So I'll turn around
I will turn away from the obscured reality.
As it rests upon your eye line
The smoke settles on your line of sight, further distorting perception.
And I'll hang on your every word
I will be attentive to your every word.
It's more majestic than a gun
Your words have a powerful impact, more majestic than a gun.
But a coward's what I am
I acknowledge my cowardice and tendency to avoid confrontation.
So I'll just turn and run wrong direction
In my fear, I will turn and run in the wrong direction.
One last question are you in or are you out?
Pose a final question: Are you committed or not?
'Cos I'm not done
I am not finished dealing with this situation.
'Cos I'm not done 'Cos I'm not done
Emphasis on the ongoing nature of the situation, indicating it's not concluded.
'Cos I'm not
Reiteration of not being finished with the current circumstances.
