Red
The Ten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tucked in knife
Sixteen lines with cyanide
Feel her hands run down my spine
I feel like shit I'm sick inside
Break her back
Yeah bend her spine
I hate myself
Every night I black out and wake up panicked for my life
Red lights
Tucked in knife
Sixteen lines with cyanide
Feel her hands run down my spine
I feel like shit I'm sick inside
Break her back
Yeah bend her spine
I hate myself
I spilled my wine
Every night I black out and wake up panicked for my life
What's that
That's the sound of a slit wrist
Wake up in the morning
Wanna end my existence
Sick shit
Tryna do right
I've been slipping
Everybody in my life been
Acting so distant
I just wanna overdose
On prescriptions
She just wanna spread her legs
Stick my dick in
Tripping
Playing with my cash
Like a kingpin
Linking
Once I hit the bitch
Then I'm dipping
Light up his spot he talking bullshit Olay
Then I beat up his block and then imma dip okay
Cry like a bitch and then imma hit yo bae
Put my dick in her lips and then she gone drive me crae
Imma renegade
I'll punch you in the face
Stepping to a god
Watch what you say
Imma catch a case if he saying my name in vein
Red light on the Glock
Watch it penetrate
Times dwindling
Feelin like I might just miss again
I don't get another fuckin chance again
Spending every second rotting away
Might just decay
Trapped in my room
Wit too much to say
Fadin away
Scythe left a mark
Grows day by day
Criticize myself
Like Who's to say
Who's to say
What's right today
Wrong tomorrow
Feelin like I might just
End my sorrows
Hollow point
Makes a hollow point
I'll be gone tomorrow
Think that's the point
I don't know if I'll ever be myself
I don't know what it take to beat this hell
I just know that I won't stop till the end
Grindin for this shit I'm sick in the head
Red lights
Tucked in knife
Sixteen lines with cyanide
Feel her hands run down my spine
I feel like shit I'm sick inside
Break her back
Yeah bend her spine
I hate myself
I spilled my wine
Every night I black out and wake up panicked for my life
Red lights
Tucked in knife
Sixteen lines with cyanide
Feel her hands run down my spine
I feel like shit I'm sick inside
Break her back
Yeah bend her spine
I hate myself
I spilled my wine
Every night I black out and wake up panicked for my life
The song "Red" by The Ten is a poignant reminder to young women to know their worth and not compare themselves to others. The lyrics suggest that too often, young women get caught up in the superficial world of social media, wishing they looked like someone else or had someone else's life. The song encourages listeners to focus on building up their hearts and minds and finding value in themselves, rather than seeking validation from others. The message is clear: it's important to seek wisdom and strength from God, rather than looking to others for answers.
The first verse of the song directly addresses the issue of social media and the pressure to look a certain way. The line "Maybe if I make some faces in a selfie, they'll see me the way they see her" speaks to the idea that people may feel compelled to present a certain image of themselves online in order to gain approval. The song also alludes to the damaging effects of social media, such as cyberbullying, which can make people feel even more inadequate about themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
You've been looking at that screen too long
You have been spending too much time staring at the screens of your electronic devices
Little one, come back to earth
Please return to the reality around you
You've been looking in that mirror all wrong
You have been using the mirror to focus on negative aspects of your appearance
Wishing that your life was hers, thinking
Longing for the life of another person, pondering
Maybe if my hair was perfect I'd be happy
Perhaps if my hair were flawless, I would feel content
Maybe if I buy the right clothes they'd look at me
If I purchase the right attire, people will pay attention to me
Maybe if I make some faces in a selfie
Possibly, if I make certain facial expressions in a selfie
They'll see me the way they see her
People will view me in the same way as they perceive her
They'll all like me and they'll tell me
Everyone will appreciate me and express it
God forbid she trip and fall
May God prevent her from falling
Just like a human being
Similar to any other human
Then you'd see her blood is deep red
At that point, you would understand that her blood is truly crimson
Like it is for you and me
The color of her blood is identical to that of yours and mine
Your face is just fine
Your facial appearance is satisfactory
And at your age, don't waste time
Do not waste time at your current age
Looking for something you can't find
Attempting to find something that is not attainable
In anyone else's but God's eyes
Except in the eyes of God
Some things just take time
Certain things require an extended amount of time
Like building up your heart and your mind
Similar to enhancing your emotional and mental well-being
Stop looking for something you can't find
Cease searching for something that cannot be found
In anyone else's but God's eyes
Anywhere other than in the eyes of God
The best character in your story
The most valuable character in your own tale
Little one, please know your worth
Child, comprehend your own value
You are goals, baby, don't worry
You are impressive and admirable, do not fret
Don't compare yourself to her, thinking
Do not compare yourself to her, pondering
Only weak girls always have to have the last word
Only insecure girls feel the need to have the final say in a discussion
If that boy don't want to be with you
If the boy is not interested in being with you
Don't want to be with him
Do not desire to be with him
You don't want who doesn't want you
If he does not want you, then you should not want him
Move along and you win
Move forward and you will prosper
If you want money, then go get it
If you desire wealth, then pursue it
Learn to make it and invest
Acquire the knowledge of how to generate and invest income
Shoot for great and nothing less
Aim high and do not settle for less
Assert yourself, don't disrespect
Assert yourself without dishonoring others
It don't matter where you came from
Your origin does not matter
Your best days are still ahead
Your most exceptional days lie in the future
Seek God first
Prioritize your pursuit of God
Let him handle the rest
Allow him to manage the remainder

The mist rolling in from the lochs to the Spey
Will rise from the valleys as the dawn comes again
We stand here together and prepare for the fray
When today could leave our history in flames
I look on the faces that oppression has greyed
The scars deep within that mark a lifetime in chains
The stark legacies of a nation have changed
As the history book begins another page
The strong urge to fight that was never overcome
The spirit burning bright that we shielded from the huns
The lost mother tongue never spoken in the light
Will echo in their ears tonight
For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
We’ll fight ‘til the flag of freedom files overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red
From east where the mountains meet the sea to the west
We are legion united by the cause from the rest
They won’t us wanting when our steel’s to the test
I know every man and will give his best
We stare with defiance and our eyes are ablaze
We will kill every man who tries to stand in our way
We’ll cut out their hearts and send them back where they came
For our claymores will send them to the grave
They can’t turn the tide, now the battle has begun
The devil take the man, when his soul is on the run
The land will return to her long forgotten sons
To cherish in our hearts tonight
For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
It’s time for the million cast aside to be free
For we’ll drive oppression back into the sea
We’ll die for the children and the wives we defend
The lives and the memories of the proud-hearted man
We’ll fight ‘til the flag of freedom files overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red
