Since I was a kid
I’ve watched what I’ve said
My tongue’s cut and swollen
From all the times I’ve bit
I held everything in
Played dumb
I did
Now everyone’s sayin’
She’s so out of it
But I know much more than I let on
They talk behind my back
I don’t react
The world is just a train
And I’m the tracks
But when they least expect
I’ll speak at last
They’ll all turn and ask
“How did you know that?”
And I’ll say, “I know much more than I let on”
I’ve watched what I’ve said

I don’t react
The world is just a train
And I’m the tracks
But when they least expect
I’ll speak at last
They’ll all turn and ask
“How did you know that?”
And I’ll say, “I know much more than I let on”

:o Noone's commented on this yet?
Well, the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. It's just about passivity and lying under the radar, causing everyone to under-estimate you until BAM you stand out from underneath the shadows and reveal your true self. Or something like that. xD
