Pique Lyrics

I made you
My best friend
And I gave you reason to believe
You were emotionally sated
And socially complete

When I grew up you grew lonely
Now I can't be what you need

I'm nothing if I'm nothing but a yes man
I try my best
I guess my best is not enough

And now I'm getting used
To getting used by you
So much so that I'm starting to feel right at home
On the whipping post

You're in my bones and you're in my teeth
Imperfect form from imperfect seeds
And in the end I know that I can never let go
Cause pound for pound I know you'd let me

Now you made me
With no clue as how to raise me
To be a stand-up man
You brought me into the shitshow
Without a penny or a plan

Now I'm a failure
Cursed with male genitalia
A parasitic fuck
With no clue as to what men do
Impossible to love

You're in my bones and you're in my teeth
Imperfect form from imperfect seeds
And in the end I know that I can never let go
Cause pound for pound I'm more you than me

I'm nothing if I'm nothing but a yes man
I try my best
I guess my best is not enough
And now I'm getting used
To getting used by you
So much so that I'm starting to feel right at home

pretty good job, i think it's "a parasitic fuck" though. i hear justin make a "ck" sound right before danny yells it back. either way, beautiful song, beautiful album, beautiful man enemas. so glad it leaked.

thank you so much. that line bugged the shit out of me. will submit corrections, that sounds like it fits the spirit of the song better.

I've been hearing it as:

now i'm a failure cursed with male genitalia a parasitic fuck with no clue as to what men do impossible to learn

My Interpretation

hmmm... not so sure. i still hear "impossible to love'. seeing them live in a few weeks and will see if that sheds any light on the matter. now you have me second guessing myself...

Yea, it's "Impossible to love"

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Pique lyrics by Menomena

so, what is a 'pique'?

I think it's an incredibly bright, talented, super sexy man who's whiny. My guess anyway...

"A feeling of irritation or resentment resulting from a slight, esp. to one's pride."

Cover art for Pique lyrics by Menomena

I see this song as about him expressing his parents not really knowing how to raise him as a child

Therefore,I'm pretty sure the last line of the chorus is "because pound for pound I'm more you than me" to coincide with the meaning of the song.

My Interpretation

what a whiny little bitch

oh, great song though
