This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Said you wanna be, said you wanna be a wife
maybe then you'd see, maybe then live my life.
I'll find my way home,
there's no need for you to say you love me anymore.
I'll face the facts, It's not my will to bleed and I won't keep score.
Said you like the taste, the taste of my tongue.
Please forget this face of mine and I'll forget this space in time.
I said goodbye too many times to be fallen at your door.
I've walked away so far away,
and still I'll walk some more.
For the times you saw me crying, I tried but I was lying.
This pain's for me it stains me.
I'd feel your skin I've tried to melt into your skin.
And I did, you let me in.
I failed I fell down,
I fell on my face.
One for the money, two for the show.
Three to pick me off my feet and four I'll hit the floor.
I took the pill that caused the chill to ease the pain. Could I refrain?
Please one more pill.
Said you wanna take, said you wanna take my time.
Maybe then you'd see, maybe then make my mind.
So speak but close your eyes,
and feel the blood rush.
Lay so still or scream until this dance has slowed down to a heartbeat,
and sweat falls cold.
I felt you skin I've tried to melt into your skin.
And I did, you let me sin.
I failed, I fell down, I fell on my face.
One for the money, two for the show.
Three to pick me off my feet and four I'll hit the floor.
I took the pill that caused the chill to ease the pain. Could I refrain?
Please one more pill.
Said you wanna take, said you wanna take my time.
Maybe then you'd see, maybe then make my mind.
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna break, I'm gonna take a little time for me.
I'm gonna sing out loud, I'm gonna say I'm proud, I'm gonna walk on water.
Walk right talk right back to me
Its not a matter of the crime, its not a matter of the time it takes to realize you're a star,
and I can't meet you where you are.
One for the money, two for the show.
Three to pick me off my feet and four I'll hit the floor.
I took the pill that caused the chill,
To ease the pain. Could I refrain?
Please one more pill.
maybe then you'd see, maybe then live my life.
I'll find my way home,
there's no need for you to say you love me anymore.
I'll face the facts, It's not my will to bleed and I won't keep score.
Said you like the taste, the taste of my tongue.
Please forget this face of mine and I'll forget this space in time.
I said goodbye too many times to be fallen at your door.

and still I'll walk some more.
For the times you saw me crying, I tried but I was lying.
This pain's for me it stains me.
I'd feel your skin I've tried to melt into your skin.
And I did, you let me in.
I failed I fell down,
I fell on my face.
One for the money, two for the show.
Three to pick me off my feet and four I'll hit the floor.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I have to agree, this song absolutely kicks serious ass.
