Don't Get Involved Lyrics
I walk on my own
Head down on the way home
Gangs trying to get me
They showed it on TV
I hide in my room
It's something to do
Don’t bust me out of my territory
Don't get involved
Don't get involved
I'm sat on a fence
I'm sat on the sharp end
Start handing me razors
I'll help out the painters
I don't want to die
But its Lord Of The Flies
Don't try to crack me out of my shell
Don't get involved
Don't get involved
I feel dissolved
Let's stay unsolved
Where oh where? Where do I belong?
Where oh where? Where did I go wrong?
I'll walk on my own
Head down on the way home
Gangs trying to get me
They want me on TV
Just get on the bus
And don't make a fuss
Don't try to strip me out my life
Don't get involved
Don't get involved
Don't get involved
I feel dissolved
Let's stay unsolved
Where oh where? Where do I belong?
Where oh where? Where did I go wrong?
Where of where? Where do I belong?
Where oh where? where did I go wrong?
Head down on the way home
Gangs trying to get me
They showed it on TV
I hide in my room
It's something to do
Don’t bust me out of my territory
Don't get involved
I'm sat on the sharp end
Start handing me razors
I'll help out the painters
I don't want to die
But its Lord Of The Flies
Don't try to crack me out of my shell
Don't get involved
I feel dissolved
Let's stay unsolved
Where oh where? Where did I go wrong?
Head down on the way home
Gangs trying to get me
They want me on TV
And don't make a fuss
Don't try to strip me out my life
Don't get involved
Don't get involved
I feel dissolved
Let's stay unsolved
Where oh where? Where did I go wrong?
Where of where? Where do I belong?
Where oh where? where did I go wrong?

It's about suicide and depression.
"Start handing me razors/I'll help out the painters"- it's about self-harm, as in, her blood will stain if you give her razors to cut herself with.
"Gangs trying to get me/They want me on TV/Just get on the bus/Don't make a fuss"- I'm not sure, but it sounds to me like rape? As in, street gangs that would rape and/or kidnap her, thus making a news story which gets on TV, and how she's given up caring about what happens to her.
"Don't get involved"- she doesn't want any help and she doesn't think she can get out of the rut.
A pretty dark song compared to her other stuff, but not too meaningful. I think it was just to try and up her dwindling poser-goth image, but she's plain ol' pop to me! I still love her though.
