Lefty

Title Fight's song 'Lefty' delves into the darker aspects of growing up, capturing the essence of bad luck and the inevitable pains of maturation. The opening lines, 'Bad luck never leaves / Your jinx just floats around like the taste in your mouth,' set a somber tone, suggesting an inescapable sense of misfortune that lingers persistently. This metaphor of bad luck as a lingering taste or a haunting sound when 'your skull cracks' paints a vivid picture of the emotional and physical tolls that come with life's hardships.

The lyrics 'Feel the growing pains / It means you're growing up too fast' highlight the uncomfortable and often painful process of maturing. The mention of 'telling white lies to black cats' adds a layer of superstition and deceit, suggesting that the protagonist is navigating a world filled with small, seemingly harmless deceptions that contribute to their overall sense of unease. The imagery of being 'stretched out across the tracks' evokes a sense of vulnerability and impending danger, further emphasizing the struggles of growing up.

The chorus, 'While you were sleeping I was blood red / Sharp as a knife inside your stomach,' introduces a more visceral and intense emotional experience. The color 'blood red' and the metaphor of a knife suggest deep-seated anger or pain that festers beneath the surface. The line 'I'm squeezing tight; don't let the light in / No medicine' implies a resistance to healing or facing the truth, indicating a preference to remain in the dark rather than confront painful realities. The song's closing lines, 'You can make a wish / But there's no rabbit out the hat / Realize it's never coming back,' underscore a sense of lost innocence and the harsh realization that some things, once gone, can never be reclaimed.
