Decisions
Eryn Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a street with no name
The mean shadows of trees
Menacing whispers of the breeze
Swept his footsteps away
But when he called out to me
I could only smile at ease
As if this was my last day
I can’t tell you where
But don’t be scared
You’ll have the time of your life
He spoke with venom on his tongue
And lies in his eyes
I said okay
But only if
But only if I can drive
I love control in my life
I live for stupid decisions
Dangerous situations
But only if they’re mine
Mine
He gave me some keys
And said follow me
But remember
This isn’t my first time
Floating through alleys and a park
Even ghost towns at night are sparse
I like nobody around to hear me
Gripping keys like a knife
We’re running for our lives
Anger burning in his eyes
I say you shouldn’t have tried to hurt me
Tell me what is on your mind
I’ve never encountered one of your kind
Tell me do I excite you baby
I love control in my life
I live for stupid decisions
Dangerous situations
But only if they’re mine
Mine
I tell him to take a sip
He asks what is it
I say a little potion to make you like me
I love control in my life
I live for stupid decisions
Dangerous situations
But only if
But only if they’re mine
I love control in my life
I live for stupid decisions
Dangerous situations
But only if
But only if they’re mine
Mine
I love control in my life
I live for stupid decisions
Dangerous situations
But only if
But only if they’re mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine

I was dancing in the moonlit dark
I was lost and feeling carefree in a dark and mysterious place
Of a street with no name
In a place that had no specific identity or direction
The mean shadows of trees
The intimidating and looming presence of the trees
Menacing whispers of the breeze
Sinister whispers carried by the wind
Swept his footsteps away
His presence was quickly taken away by the wind
But when he called out to me
When he reached out and addressed me
I could only smile at ease
I reacted with a calm and relaxed smile
As if this was my last day
As if I were living in the moment, embracing the possibility of it being my final day
Do you wanna go for a ride
Would you like to embark on an adventure
I can’t tell you where
I am unable to disclose the destination
But don’t be scared
However, there is no need to be afraid
You’ll have the time of your life
You will experience the most exciting and memorable moments
He spoke with venom on his tongue
He spoke with malice and deceit
And lies in his eyes
His eyes were filled with deception
I said okay
I agreed to his proposition
But only if
However, under the condition that
But only if I can drive
But only if I have control over the situation
I love control in my life
I enjoy having power and authority in my daily existence
I live for stupid decisions
I thrive on making reckless choices
Dangerous situations
Risky and potentially harmful circumstances
But only if they’re mine
But only if I am the one in control of those situations
He gave me some keys
He handed me a set of keys
And said follow me
And instructed me to follow him
But remember
But keep in mind
This isn’t my first time
I have prior experience in this kind of situation
Floating through alleys and a park
Moving effortlessly through narrow passages and an open space
Even ghost towns at night are sparse
Even deserted towns during nighttime are devoid of people
I like nobody around to hear me
I prefer solitude where nobody can witness or listen to me
Gripping keys like a knife
Holding the keys tightly and with a sense of readiness and potential danger
We’re running for our lives
We are fleeing in order to preserve our survival
Anger burning in his eyes
His eyes were filled with intense rage
I say you shouldn’t have tried to hurt me
I express that it was unwise for him to have attempted to harm me
Tell me what is on your mind
Please share your thoughts and intentions with me
I’ve never encountered one of your kind
I have never come across someone like you before
Tell me do I excite you baby
Inform me if I arouse or thrill you, my dear
I tell him to take a sip
I instruct him to consume a drink
He asks what is it
He inquires about the content of the drink
I say a little potion to make you like me
I explain that it is a potion intended to make him develop feelings towards me
But only if
However, under the condition that
But only if they’re mine
But only if I am the one in control of those situations
I love control in my life
I enjoy having power and authority in my daily existence
I live for stupid decisions
I thrive on making reckless choices
Dangerous situations
Risky and potentially harmful circumstances

Belonging to me and under my ownership
I love control in my life
I enjoy having power and authority in my daily existence
I live for stupid decisions
I thrive on making reckless choices
Dangerous situations
Risky and potentially harmful circumstances
But only if
But only if I am the one in control of those situations
But only if they’re mine
But only if I am the one in control of those situations
Mine
Belonging to me and under my ownership
Mine
Belonging to me and under my ownership
Mine
Belonging to me and under my ownership
Mine
Belonging to me and under my ownership
