Sinner's Ball
Polaris At Noon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you look with that sinister smile
I want to turn that smile upside down
It's getting old and I'm done with your lies you've fed me every single time

And you said shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off
And save yourself

I've got your hand and I'm checking your pulse
Because your heart's been racing the tracks
And I say, watch me now, walk it off
It's a sinner's ball
And there's no room to relax
Because you stand tall but your heart is so small
You have to learn to let people in
And it's a dirty job for everyone
You've got to learn to give in

And you said shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off
And save yourself

You said shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off
And save yourself

You save yourself before anyone else
Soon I’ll be gone before you know it
You save yourself before anyone else
Soon I’ll be gone before you know it

And you said shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off
And save yourself

Shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off
And save yourself

And you said shake it off
'Cause you've got no scars to show me
And you said shake it off

And save yourself
Save yourself

I see you look with that sinister smile
Observing you with an evil grin on your face

I want to turn that smile upside down
I wish to change your malicious expression

It's getting old and I'm done with your lies you've fed me every single time
Tired of hearing your deceitful stories on repeat

And you said shake it off
You suggested I ignore it

'Cause you've got no scars to show me
As there is no proof of your negative experiences

And save yourself
You should prioritize your well-being

I've got your hand and I'm checking your pulse
Taking your hand to feel your heartbeat

Because your heart's been racing the tracks
Your emotions are on an uncontrollable journey

And I say, watch me now, walk it off
Follow me in overcoming your problems

It's a sinner's ball
An event where immoral behavior is prevalent

And there's no room to relax
You can't let your guard down in this situation
