LINE OF FIRE
Straight Line Stitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got involved in something I never meant to
But it wasn't something I could easily undo
I can't move & I can't breathe in this box of apathy
This is complicated everything I've ever hated
How do I defend the position that I find myself in
No use in choosing sides 'cause no one will ever win
In no time quickly this will travel
I pushed you over pushed you aside
left with no one in whom I could confide
I never meant to push you
I never meant to push you away
I never meant to push you
I never meant to push you away
What's done I can't undo but I would die for you
I got involved in something I never meant to
But it wasn't something I could easily undo
Ask me what I go through & I'd giving anything to take it all away
Take it all away
I pushed you over but you threw me away now there's more to say
Sacrifices I made & promises that I gave
have been broken & backfired held in the crossfire
So many casualties lying around me as far as the eye can see
So many casualties lying around me as far as the eye can see
Take it away can I convey decisions that I've made are buried & decayed
What's done I can't undo but I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

I accidentally got caught up in a situation I didn't intend to be in

I feel trapped and suffocated by the feeling of indifference around me
This is complicated everything I've ever hated
This situation is complex and it goes against everything I stand for
How do I defend the position that I find myself in
I don't know how to justify being in this situation
No use in choosing sides 'cause no one will ever win
There's no point in picking teams because ultimately nobody will come out victorious
In no time quickly this will travel
The news about this will spread rapidly
Just in time to see your life unravel
Sadly, the news will arrive just as your life is falling apart
I pushed you over pushed you aside
I mistreated you and ignored your feelings
left with no one in whom I could confide
I now have nobody to confide in because of my actions
I never meant to push you
I didn't intend to hurt you or drive you away
I never meant to push you away

Sacrifices I made & promises that I gave

Unfortunately, my sacrifices and promises have failed and caused negative consequences
So many casualties lying around me as far as the eye can see
There are so many negative repercussions and victims because of what has happened
Take it away can I convey decisions that I've made are buried & decayed
I wish I could go back and undo the decisions I made, but they can't be changed now
I would die for you
I love you enough to sacrifice my life for you, despite my mistakes
