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.
You apologize
Is it your disguise?
No, don't wanna hear your alibis
A walking cliché
The games that you play
I can see you coming from a mile away
Guilty
Don't deny you're guilty
No reason to lie
Don't do the crime
If you can't do the time
You're guilty
And you know why

Don't do the crime
If you can't do the time

You commit your crime
Should have seen the signs
No, don't wanna hear the same old lies
Find my strength within
Forget what could have been
No, don't wanna see your face again
