Plastic Wrist
Secret Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say the best lines
In the place with the city view
I sit and smile like I'm someone new
I'll never back down
I'll never turn around
But I'm afraid of coming down
I can't wait to meet you
My only one
And ask forgiveness
For all I've done
But I don't want to wait that long
No, I don't want to wait that long
I can't be alone without burning
So can I take you home and fuck with you?
Man, I don't feel the way I used too
But I don't mind as long as you do
I watched them laugh at my fortitude
A plastic wrist and a brand new view
So get your facts straight
Before you separate
I can't wait to meet you
My only one
And ask forgiveness
For all I've done
But I don't want to wait that long
No I don't want to wait that long
Lock your doors
And wait it out
Ignore the sound
I'll wipe the grin from your mouth
I'm going to save your soul
For my own sake
Who would have known?
It was my biggest mistake
God loves
God loves
God loves your little soul
The song βPlastic Wristβ by Secret Empire is a song about self-destruction and the fear of falling. The first stanza βIn the worst times, I say the best lines, In the place with the city view, I sit and smile like I'm someone newβ talks about how the singer often tries to put up a faΓ§ade of a happy, confident person, when in reality they are struggling. The next few lines βI'll never back down, I'll never turn around, But I'm afraid of coming down, So what's the distance to the ground?β is showing the conflicting situation where the singer is determined to not give up, but at the same time too scared to fall.
The third stanza βI can't wait to meet you, My only one, And ask forgiveness, For all I've done, But I don't want to wait that long, No, I don't want to wait that longβ talks about how they want to find someone to connect with and be able to seek forgiveness for their past actions. They are tired of waiting and want to find someone they can rely on soon. It becomes clear that they have a hard time being alone in the lines βI can't be alone without burning, So can I take you home and fuck with you?β where they are asking someone to go home with them so that they wonβt have to be alone. The following lines βMan, I don't feel the way I used too, But I don't mind as long as you do, I watched them laugh at my fortitude, A plastic wrist and a brand new viewβ talk about how the singer is willing to change themselves for someone they care about, even if they are made fun of.
The last stanza βLock your doors, And wait it out, Ignore the sound, I'll wipe the grin from your mouth, I'm going to save your soul, For my own sake, Who would have known? It was my biggest mistake, God loves, God loves, God loves your little soulβ is indicating that the singer may have been toxic in their past relationships. They want to change themselves and save their partnerβs soul as a way of redeeming themselves. They are struggling with their own problems and toxicity, and are trying to find a way to improve themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
In the worst times
Amidst difficult times
I say the best lines
I come up with inspiring words
In the place with the city view
In an urban setting with an expansive view
I sit and smile like I'm someone new
I sit and show joy like I'm a different person
I'll never back down
I will not surrender
I'll never turn around
I will not look back
But I'm afraid of coming down
But I fear the fall from grace
So what's the distance to the ground?
What's the height of my fall?
I can't wait to meet you
I long to see you soon
My only one
My beloved
And ask forgiveness
Seek pardon
For all I've done
For my wrongdoings
But I don't want to wait that long
But I want it to happen soon
No, I don't want to wait that long
I don't want to wait for a prolonged time
I can't be alone without burning
I need your presence or I'll feel tormented
So can I take you home and fuck with you?
Can we be intimate together?
Man, I don't feel the way I used too
I've changed significantly from my old self
But I don't mind as long as you do
But as long as you're okay with it, I'm fine
I watched them laugh at my fortitude
They mocked my resilience
A plastic wrist and a brand new view
My superficial changes
So get your facts straight
Stop spreading misinformation
Before you separate
Before you break away
Lock your doors
Secure your place
And wait it out
And wait until it's over
Ignore the sound
Disregard the noise
I'll wipe the grin from your mouth
I'll make you stop smiling
I'm going to save your soul
I'll rescue you
For my own sake
For my benefit
Who would have known?
Who could've predicted?
It was my biggest mistake
I regret it the most
God loves your little soul
You're loved by a higher power

I cant wait for Storm Command to come out. I've been waiting so long and periodically keeping up with you. It'll be worth buying.
