Cover art for To The Stage lyrics by Asking Alexandria

I think this song is about Danny manipulating a girl "I'm in her head and in control" but she can't handle the "Reckless & Relentless" lifestyle of Danny. So the girl does wrong stuff and Danny watches her downfall : "Self destruction is such a pretty little thing" Eventually he regrets what he did to her but it was too late.

"I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold"

What does that mean?: / Still no idea

i feel like it's self explanatory...but

a world that's painted gold- a world that's covered in rose-colored delusions. someone quite optimistic.

i'm just a kick in the teeth- metaphor

kick in the teeth. how would i feel if someone kicked me in the teeth? or if i kicked someone in the teeth? its aggressive its violent, shattering, surprising, destructive.
