Get Ready To Sweep
Pin-Up Went Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have wasted what you gave and you've lost your faith
What I've done has no sense, though it fed the pain
But my pain, in a way, was nearly the same"
Judging facts is just a silly thing when you don't know why they've been committed, so get ready to sweep
Do you really think it's time to blame an enemy that 's born from your own vision of life
Don't you really think you could be what you denounce?
Indeed, our laws can choose the other side, and who would be right?
I slept, you see, now I know,
Truth is never the same
Seeds you fed were scornful
And your lies
And my lies
Are nothing but a jail to survive.
-And the world will be clean... –
"Let everyone sweep in front of his own door and the whole world will be clean."
-and clean the world you live in-
Instead of choosing if you want to forgive, cross your own doors and get ready to sweep.
Scorn, Sick-
-ness In what you say
"Now, angels, go to hell"
But did you see
How lost we were?
And will you never
Forgive this slaugh-
-ter we just made?
Coz we were
Lonely Flesh.
All the actions you'd like to explain can't always be what they seem
You know, we're made of questions without answers
Flesh without reason
With/without
Will you be kind enough to listen to what I have to say
Right now
Don't try to create another truth
This one you see should have been
Yours
The lyrics to "Get Ready To Sweep" by Pin-Up Went Down are very introspective and contemplative in nature. The lines "What you lived, what you felt is worse than treason I have wasted what you gave and you've lost your faith" suggest a deep sense of guilt and remorse. It seems as if the singer has betrayed someone they deeply cared for and as a result, has lost their trust and faith. The line "What I've done has no sense, though it fed the pain" suggests a self-destructive behavior that may have led to the singer hurting themselves and others.
The following lines, "But my pain, in a way, was nearly the same", suggests a desire for understanding and empathy. The singer seems to be acknowledging the pain they have caused and that they too have suffered in the process. The lines "Truth is never the same. Seeds you fed were scornful. And your lies. And my lies. Are nothing but a jail to survive" suggest a realization that truth is subjective and can change depending on perspective. The "seeds" or notions that the singer was fed, were not productive and may have led to destructive behavior. In addition, their lies and the lies of others have created a prison of sorts that they must navigate to survive.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be suggesting that everyone has a responsibility to "sweep in front of their own door" before blaming others for their problems. They emphasize the notion that understanding and empathy can help us move forward and break free from the jail of lies and destructive behavior.
Line by Line Meaning
What you lived, what you felt is worse than treason
Judging someone's actions based on what you think they should have felt or experienced is wrong and can be hurtful.
I have wasted what you gave and you've lost your faith
I didn't appreciate what you did for me, and as a result you lost trust in me.
What I've done has no sense, though it fed the pain
I did things that didn't make sense, but somehow they provided a sense of release for my pain.
But my pain, in a way, was nearly the same
My suffering was almost equivalent to yours in some sense.
Judging facts is just a silly thing when you don't know why they've been committed, so get ready to sweep
It's pointless to judge someone's actions without understanding their motives, so it's better to focus on improving ourselves.
Do you really think it's time to blame an enemy that's born from your own vision of life
From wonderful rules you may betray?
Don't you really think you could be what you denounce?
Indeed, our laws can choose the other side, and who would be right?
Before pointing fingers at others, consider how your own beliefs and values may have contributed to the situation. It's possible that you're guilty of the same things you criticize in others, and ultimately there's no easy answer as to what the 'right' decision is.

-and clean the world you live in-
I was ignorant before, but now I realize that truth is subjective and can't be taken at face value. What we thought was right turned out to be harmful, and both of us are guilty of lying. However, we have a chance to change things and make the world a better place by fixing our own mistakes first.

Our words and actions were fueled by anger and desperation, but we failed to see that we were misguided and lost. Can we ever find it in ourselves to forgive the terrible things we've done, knowing that we acted out of loneliness and weakness?

Our actions are complex and multifaceted, and sometimes there's no clear explanation for what we do. We're human, and we don't always act rationally or logically. Please listen to me without judgment, and don't try to warp my words or actions to fit your own narrative.
