Shotgun Lyrics

Feeble bones took me to a valuable weakness
There's no comfort in silence
No real violence in words
So I, sharpened my blade and bowed my head before I ceased and desisted
And though my stomach was a ball of resistance
I went straight for the course

With burns on the backs of my palms
Will I regret my cause? or revel in my thoughts?
I'm caught in the winds of remorse
'Cause everybody knows

What good is a sword, next to a shotgun
What good is a sword, next to a shotgun
What good is a sword, next to a shotgun

How did I get stuck in this valiant position
When either I'll survive for an instant
Or cradle the earth?
My God forsaken, weakened pulse, I knew I had to amend this
Though I never was a force to be reckoned, or
A sight to behold

With burns on the backs of my palms
Will I regret my cause? or revel in my thoughts?
I'm caught in the winds of remorse
Cause everybody knows

What good is a sword, next to a shotgun
What good is a sword, next to a shotgun
What good is a sword, next to a shotgun

Am I biting the bullet alone?
Oh I know that I'd rather be bold
(What good is a sword, next to a shotgun)
And we're biting the bullet alone
Oh I know that I'd rather be bold
(What good is a sword, next to a shotgun)
Am I biting the bullet alone?
Oh I know that I'd rather be bold
(What good is a sword, next to a shotgun)

What is the Meaning of Shotgun?

Oh, the eternal struggle of bringing a knife to a gunfight! In "Shotgun," Gallant muses on the futility of old-school valor in modern conflicts. Armed with just a metaphorical sword, our hero feels woefully under-equipped in the face of overwhelming firepower—hello, shotgun! It's a lyrical lament about feeling outdated and outmatched, yet there's this stubborn streak of wanting to fight honorably, even if it means biting the bullet alone. So next time you think about charging into battle with just your wits, maybe check if the other guy has upgraded his arsenal! #ModernStruggles #Outgunned #HonorInConflict
