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.
I wish I could devastate you
Calculate, manipulate you
And if I had the guts to save you
Would you have the poise and grace to
And these conversations that take a little bit from you
And a lot from me your right
There's no debating when your friends think that they know me but they're so wrong
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how its all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
Don't take it back cause you know i wanna say it
Don't hold your breath cause you know i wanna see it
I'll hold you to this, you know ill do it
I'm sure he loved every line you swear you never fed
I guess we're passing time but I'd be better off dead
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how it's all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
What's the point if you don't have to try it
You said it, I get it [x2]
A simple thought and reaction I'll tear you apart
I said it, you get it [x2]
So don't make me [x3]
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how it's all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
This cold night i caught it again
My frantic breath it fills the air
Just breath out and ill breath you in
I guess it makes less sense when we're trying hard to get to the start
But know I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
Calculate, manipulate you
And if I had the guts to save you
Would you have the poise and grace to
And these conversations that take a little bit from you
And a lot from me your right
There's no debating when your friends think that they know me but they're so wrong
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how its all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
Don't take it back cause you know i wanna say it
Don't hold your breath cause you know i wanna see it
I'll hold you to this, you know ill do it
I'm sure he loved every line you swear you never fed
I guess we're passing time but I'd be better off dead
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how it's all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
What's the point if you don't have to try it
You said it, I get it [x2]
A simple thought and reaction I'll tear you apart
I said it, you get it [x2]
So don't make me [x3]
All I wanted
It's kinda funny how it's all I got and
I never realized that your shoulder could get so cold
And now I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
This cold night i caught it again
My frantic breath it fills the air
Just breath out and ill breath you in
I guess it makes less sense when we're trying hard to get to the start
But know I'm on my own and I'm off to New Jersey to sing it
