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.
Put down your fists, boy
Let's strip this right down
It's not about you and her
What the fuck did I do?
Did I deserve such a shit friendship in the first place?
We were fools for thinking you were any better than this
You think this is hard
Now I hope you don't think
You can support our group again
My feelings of such desperation
Tearing through the only game
I know how to play
It's not such a terrible outcome
Delivering everything you fucking deserve
Prospects are running thing
I've been dragged down one last time
Will never forget the day that the shit hit the fan
It's a long way down from here
Taste the floor, boy
Where you deserve to be
Breathe for yourself again
As they bring you to your knees
It stalls the motion
As they bring you to your knees
Your jealousy seems false to me
I don't know how you can be like this scurvy
When you're screwing with our lives
Has it never crossed your mind
That we must survive
Never trusted these games you played
Why did you think that I kept pushing you away?
I know what you're worth, boy
And I know that if I want to survive
I need to mold my life
Do it one more time
Just one more
I'm going to gut you
Like the pig that you are
It's not enough to see you hit the floor
I'm leaving you gutless
To show the whole world what you're worth
Show me what you're worth
Break down the answers
And you will see
There's nothing left of this
Motherfucking you and me, bitch
I'm done treading through your disarray
When I was granted such sovereignty
Let's strip this right down
It's not about you and her
What the fuck did I do?
Did I deserve such a shit friendship in the first place?
We were fools for thinking you were any better than this
You think this is hard
Now I hope you don't think
You can support our group again
My feelings of such desperation
Tearing through the only game
I know how to play
It's not such a terrible outcome
Delivering everything you fucking deserve
Prospects are running thing
I've been dragged down one last time
Will never forget the day that the shit hit the fan
It's a long way down from here
Taste the floor, boy
Where you deserve to be
Breathe for yourself again
As they bring you to your knees
It stalls the motion
As they bring you to your knees
Your jealousy seems false to me
I don't know how you can be like this scurvy
When you're screwing with our lives
Has it never crossed your mind
That we must survive
Never trusted these games you played
Why did you think that I kept pushing you away?
I know what you're worth, boy
And I know that if I want to survive
I need to mold my life
Do it one more time
Just one more
I'm going to gut you
Like the pig that you are
It's not enough to see you hit the floor
I'm leaving you gutless
To show the whole world what you're worth
Show me what you're worth
Break down the answers
And you will see
There's nothing left of this
Motherfucking you and me, bitch
I'm done treading through your disarray
When I was granted such sovereignty
