Prick Lyrics
anchor yourself again
get your hooks in my side
identify who you're with
why you're there
everyone is your best friend
tell me again what you said
i've been beating your door down for something
but there's nothing left
you look like you need some air
need some wide open space
need to stand up straight
i had a speech prepared
but now it's too late
tell me it all over again
you've been calling out to someone
but there's no one there
there's no one there (x2)
you can't sell yourself to me
but you attach yourself to everything
a gesture moves around the room
buying and selling you
it leaves a stain in your head
and lines on the back of your neck
tell me again what you said
you've anchored yourself again
and everyone is your best friend
get your hooks in my side
identify who you're with
why you're there
everyone is your best friend
tell me again what you said
i've been beating your door down for something
but there's nothing left
you look like you need some air
need some wide open space
need to stand up straight
i had a speech prepared
but now it's too late
tell me it all over again
you've been calling out to someone
but there's no one there
there's no one there (x2)
you can't sell yourself to me
but you attach yourself to everything
a gesture moves around the room
buying and selling you
it leaves a stain in your head
and lines on the back of your neck
tell me again what you said
you've anchored yourself again
and everyone is your best friend

i think this is written about a guy that seems to act like everyones best friend just to get ahead in life. getting his "hooks" in your side, like catching a fish, he bleeds the person for what they are worth, then leaves. However he is a lonely person "you've been calling out to someone, but there's no one there"
i once knew this guy at high school...... if you've seen the clip to this youll know what im talking about, but he drew a bar code on the back of his neck like Paul does in the clip. looked pretty sweet. wonder if he'll ever read this. he was a bit of a prick too.
anyways a song meaning....... i agree with Timm. the most confident person is sometimes the most depressed
