Legacy
Black Dresses Lyrics

Why thank you for your opinion
Sarcastic response to someone's opinion

What you think is so important
Doubtful of someone's importance

So let's talk this out
Irony when you don't really want to talk

You're so funny
Sarcasm to someone who is not funny

I hope you're doing well
Formal politeness greeting without actual interest

Thank god for the tongue in your mouth
A sarcastic way to say that someone is talking too much

I'm so happy
Irony when you are not happy

I'm so lucky
Sarcastic way to tell that you are not lucky

I get to do whatever
Indifference to the choices you have

I can be myself
Enjoying the freedom to be yourself

But you know what?
Sarcastic way to introduce an unpleasant subject

I have zero tolerance for bad little
No patience for bad behavior

Shit heads who only seem to fuck around
People who are behaving offensively

Same shit
Nothing new or interesting

Different day
Boredom with the recurring routine

You need to fuck off
Wanting someone to leave

You need to go away
Asking someone to leave

I don't wanna talk about it
Expressing unwillingness to discuss something

That's all that I came to say
Simplified message with no further explanation

Get out of my space
Asking someone to leave the area

You worthless fucking fuck face
Demeaning insult to someone

Who the fuck do you think you are
Challenging someone's self-importance

Hey bitch, what the fuck's going on?
Aggressively asking about the situation

Is this how you wanna spend the last few years of your life?
Questioning someone's choices and priorities

Your legacy
The impacts of your actions and choices

You can hide out in your tiny little lair
Irony and sarcasm applied to someone's hiding strategy

You can be the fucking evil monster
Hateful judgment about someone's negative behaviors

It was always you
Blaming someone for negative outcomes

It was always something I couldn't be
Self-criticism of personal limitations

That was just outside reality
Impossible standard beyond the author's grasp

It was always something I couldn't know
The information to succeed was not available to the author

Because everything around me
Influence of the environment on the author's life

Felt just like a bad dream
A state of discomfort and unreality

It was all or nothing
A defining moment of life with no ambiguity

Be the kind of person you hate or be
Difficult decision to choose the lesser of two evils

Hated for the things that you thought were common sense
Being rejected by society for acting rationally

Just a little further one day it will make sense
Hopeful expectation for emerging clarity

Hold yourself a little tighter, your innocence
Clinging to pure intentions and ideals

Preyed upon and vilified by your blood and friends
Betrayers among trusted relationships causing harm

Who am I if I can't assign a name and place to what this is
Existential angst of the author's identity crisis

Everything that's mine feels rotten from the touch of it
Feeling of being contaminated by toxicity

Everything all the time is a message that I shouldn't be
External messaging of failure and unacceptance

Stay the fuck away from me
Clear message to keep distance and leave alone

I want to love myself but memories are killing me
Internal struggle of negative self-image and emotional trauma

I want to live but all the years that came before won't let me be
Feeling constrained and haunted by one's past

Memories are killing me
The burden of painful experiences on the author's life

It hurts
Succinct expression of emotional and/or physical pain
