Lyrics
I’ve been reminiscing with your ghost
I've been reflecting on the past with memories of your presence
Something has got to change for us both
A change is necessary for both of us
Burying the hatchet, playing into your game
Attempting to reconcile, playing along with your manipulative tactics
Before I clench my claws around your throat
Expressing a desire to take control or confront before things escalate
You tell them I’m a fan, but you’ve never had my back
Contradicting a claim that the speaker supports, highlighting lack of loyalty
I’ve been here since you were born, through every panic attack
Emphasizing a longstanding presence, offering support through difficulties
And I’ve never been a fan, you’re a bitter sycophant
Dismissing any admiration, labeling the other person as insincere
When the sun rises tomorrow, I’ll shred your shadow in its’ flash
Predicting a decisive action in response, using imagery of tearing apart shadows
Deadlocked
Stating a situation of deadlock or stalemate
No mercy for the weak, no promise you can keep
Declaring a lack of compassion for the vulnerable, skepticism about promises
We’re deadlocked
Reiterating the sense of being stuck or unable to progress
This burden’s mine to share, your words are empty air
Acknowledging personal responsibility, dismissing the value of empty words
If you want to leave, then go
Encouraging the other person to leave, asserting non-interference in their choices
I’ve never held you back and I bet you’ve always known
Denying any hindrance to the other person, suggesting they always knew this
I’ll act antagonistic, I’ll pretend I’ve done my worst
Pretending to be antagonistic, claiming to have shown the worst behavior
You’ll gaslight my mentality, you’re a fucking psycho
Accusing the other person of manipulating the speaker's mind, using strong language
I have cared for you in ways I have not cared for myself
Expressing selfless care for the other person, surpassing concern for oneself
Never meant to hurt you when you so often betray yourself
Regret for unintentional harm caused despite the other person's self-betrayal
And I’ve never been a fan, you’re a bitter sycophant
Reiterating a lack of admiration, emphasizing insincerity
When the sun rises tomorrow, I’ll shred your shadow in its’ flash
Repeating the intention to confront or take action in the future
Deadlocked
Repeating the theme of being in a deadlock or stalemate
No mercy for the weak, no promise you can keep
Reaffirming a lack of mercy for the vulnerable, doubting promises
We’re deadlocked
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck, burdened, and unable to move forward
This burden’s mine to share, your words are empty air
Acknowledging personal responsibility, disregarding the significance of empty words
