Two Sitting Ducks Lyrics

Till the end of the me
I'm gonna make you my priority
This coming holiday
I'm gonna make you prioritay
Love the things you buy
I'm gonna make you my prioritie
Mark down this decree
I'm gonna make you my priority

But it's killin' me

When you're falling down the stairs
Oh I'll be there
Dripping through your feeding tubes
Your food I'll chew

You can count on me

You can count me out
I am outta here
Bye bye my dear
See me disappear

Oh I can't stick around
Cause I'm on the move with oh so much to do
So much to prove
That I'm gone

Don't follow me down
There's work to be done
There's wars to be won
Plus conquering's fun
So I'm gone

I'm cuttin' the cord
And I'm splittin' the board
I got nothing to lose
Except these old shoes
So I'm gone

Birds of the air what is it like to roam in the night?

Restlessness sets on this sitting duck's nest egg
With promises melting and flooding this room
Failing to see if this sinking ship should sail
While gasping for air in your pool of perfume

I'm laying the law
You're taking me over
These days of bend overing backwards is done
And I'm gone

Why you still here
You should let go
Hey you ease droppers should forever know
That I'm gone

Folks in the fair
What is it like to roam the night?

You need to go
Stop tracing my steps
There is ugliness here
And you deserve better
Be gone

I'm so thirsty
Chaos is all spinning
My Whirlwind of sob stories
Sweet routine where have you gone

I'm gone

Two forgetful
Forgiving folks
Tear down the walls
The walls
In us
Us all

So so so
We we weave
Our hands as one

Together
We're gone

This song defines epic. I've truly never heard a song that ends as powerfully as this one. It's like a controlled chaos that grows more chaotic and more controlled at the same time until it hits an unbelievable crescendo.

As far as the meaning goes I don't think it's too hard to grasp with the knowledge that Danielson (Daniel Smith) is a Christian artist and his songs are a means of expressing his faith, beliefs, struggles, and praise. This song focuses on the how messed up we all are. How flawed we are as human beings. But, also how God forgave and forgot through his son. I'm thinking the first part is about how so many people go through these amazing conversions, like becoming a Christian and giving their lives to God, but then, soon enough, we forget all about the commitments we make.

In the beginning he's saying "I'm gonna make you my priority," and, "You can count on me." But then, he goes on to say, "but it's killin me," and eventually "I'm gone." He has far too much to do and too much planned to live for God and make that his priority.

From there the verses become increasingly desperate and the narrator becomes more and more broken by his decision. BUT, as he chants "I'm gone" for the last time and the music wails in desperation everything is changed and "Two forgetful, forgiving folks tear down the walls in us all." Those two folks seem to represent the Father and the Son, Jesus dying so that all our brokenness can be forgiven and forgotten, so all the walls within can be torn down. And the music changes as well too calamity and power, a representation of the incredible thing that Christians believe took place on that day.

But, that's just my opinion. No matter how you look at it though, this song is pure genius.
