He certainly did earn that reputation.
Something is different
Something has changed
You write me your letters
They're not the same
Prodigy lover
Playing the keyboards
Drowning that music from me
Uncomprehending
I'm stupified
Cus I wrote the rulebook
You can't abide
Over and over
checking the airwaves
drowning that music from me
You say ok
We'll both be gone
With fists of money
Over and over
Checking the airwaves
Drowning that music from me
You say ok
We'll both be gone
With fists of money
Uncomprehending
I'm stupified
Cus I wrote the rulebook
You can't abide
I wrote the rulebook
You can't abide
I wrote the rulebook
You can't abide
Oh no
I'm stupified
Oh no
I'm stupified
Oh no
I'm stupified
Oh no
I'm stupified

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Yeah, it makes sense that it's about Matt. I think that's cool. And you gotta figure, if he's written the thousand songs he says he has, they can't all be about love. No way.
