Defeater
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
As a kid the summers seemed so long;
2
The dusk; a never ending song
3
Too much, too young
4
He'd never hear it again.
5
A walk through the dismal streets
6
The alleys where the junkies sleep
7
Too much, too young
8
"That will never be me."
9
Slow
10
Hand in hand to the boardwalk's end,
11
His mother's words like the biting wind
12
"Please don't leave me."
13
He'll never hear them again
14
"Keep quiet, stay out of sight."
15
Her sunken eyes that used to burn so bright
16
"Please don't leave me."
17
"Please don't leave me."
18
So he hid, pressed against the wall
19
Under stairs in the darkened hall.
20
The sound of heartbreak reminded him of home.
21
Shadows move slow across the floor,
22
A minute seemed like a day or more.
23
The end of heartache when she opened the door.
24
The sights, sounds, smell of burnt out
25
Shame, pride, spite, love
26
They all come here to die.
27
He sobs, "Please take me a away.
28
Please mother bring us home safe
29
On nameless streets the way we came."
30
And suddenly she prayed
31
For better days
32
And for redemption.
33
Sullenly she prayed
34
To keep from harm's way
35
And for conviction.
36
But there's no forgiveness here.
37
No hope beyond that pier.
38
No way to get out now,
39
Not for her in this dead end town.
40
And that drunk is waiting up,
41
Him and Jack, the empty cup.
42
"Where you been? What you on? Who'd you fuck?"
43
One more drink to toast "Good luck"
44
And a stiff hand from the old man
45
Like the bourbon he's been drinking.
46
Black out.
47
And a stiff hand from the old man
48
Like the bourbon he's been drinking.
49
Black out.
50
The summers back then seemed so long;
51
The dawn; was a welcome song
52
Too much, too young
53
He'd never hear it again.
54
A walk through the dismal streets
55
The alleys where the junkies sleep
56
Too much, too young
57
"That will never be me."
