Sofi Needs a Ladder (feat. SOFI) Lyrics
Let's play musical chairs, one of my favourite games.
Especially now that you and I have traded place.
You walk around and choose to dump there for a change.
There is a way for you to win this race.
Criss-cross and turn your shirt inside out.
You like to think I can't see what you are, but the tables have turned.
What goes around comes around, you're about to get burned.
Flip the switch, you're checking in, I'm checking you out.
You're just too sweet till you get on my nerves and hurt like cavity.
You left a bad taste in my mouth, my Sour Patch Kid.
You and me, it's no mystery no magic trick.
Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat.
I can be your new favourite waste of time, if you'll be mine.
All I want is your attention, it's all the same thing.
Are you in? What's it gonna be?
Don't roll with the punches, make it hard for me baby!
Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch.
Watch you walk in circles. Hit the beat.
Drop you like a needle on the record, flick my switch.
Go around in circles. Hit the beat.
Especially now that you and I have traded place.
You walk around and choose to dump there for a change.
There is a way for you to win this race.
You like to think I can't see what you are, but the tables have turned.
What goes around comes around, you're about to get burned.
Flip the switch, you're checking in, I'm checking you out.
You left a bad taste in my mouth, my Sour Patch Kid.
You and me, it's no mystery no magic trick.
Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat.
All I want is your attention, it's all the same thing.
Are you in? What's it gonna be?
Don't roll with the punches, make it hard for me baby!
Watch you walk in circles. Hit the beat.
Go around in circles. Hit the beat.

I don't know why, because they're very coarse and sarcastic, but the vocals in this song are very sexy. Kind of in the same way Adele's are.
hm... methinks it's:
"There is no way you can win this race."
Maybe it's a song about one-upping. Follow me, if you will.
A mentor and a protégé. The mentor is very egotistical, thinks she/he's the best. But, the protégé eventually surpasses the mentor's skill (and possibly gains fame that the mentor did not reach, or ever had). The mentor (suddenly, but not surprisingly, acting humble) asks to spend time bouncing ideas off of one another.
What if it's like this:
Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat:
"I can be your new favorite waste of time, and you'll be mine"
"All I want is your attention" It's all the same thing.
The protégé sees through the act and recognizes an attempt to "steal the better method", calls the mentor out (publicly) and begs that the mentor not sit down and "take-it" (don't roll with the punches).
Or, it's about a relationship/sex/drugs/whatever. Just a thought.
I think that the meaning of this song is that the girl that Sofi is portraying is getting revenge on her boyfriend who cheated on her or that she is blackmailing him "You like to think I can't figure you out, but the tables have turned What goes around comes around, you're about to get burned" means that shes doing exactly what he did to her "You're just too sweet till you get on my nerves and hurt like cavity" meaning that he acts like he still loves her but she knows he cheating and him talking with her just reminds her that he cheated on her "I can be your new favorite waste of time, and you'll be mine" making fun of how they first felt for each other compaired to now hence the and you'll be mine "All I want is your attention, it's all the same thing Are you in? What's it gonna be?" joking about something he says all the time "You and me, it's no mystery, no magic trick Let me hear this broken record again, just press repeat" joking about how he always has excuses "Drop you like a needle on the record, scratch my itch (flip my switch)" meaning that shes going to break up with him, that is after she gets he satisfaction. "Watch you walk in circles (Go around in circles) hit the beat." meaning shes laughing at him watching him trying to cover is tracks "Don't roll with the punches, make it hard for me baby" meaning shes dropping hints on him that she knows hes cheating and telling him to try harder next time.
