Cover art for Ricochet lyrics by Faith No More

Could be just me inferring my own feelings and dramas into the song but kind of comes across as dealing with a narcissistic, emotionally manipulative person. No matter how you speak to them it's a fucking shit fight and they are always right in their eyes, never seeing any wrong doing. It gets to the point where you rather get shot in the face than having to talk to them because no matter what you say you're an asshole. "no reason, no explanation so play the violins" when you say something that makes them upset when it wasn't even something upsetting in the first place, so they do the "woe is me you hurt my feelings" thing. "One day the will come up and you'll come up empty again" Things are going good and they have no reason to cause drama, they'll find something to cause drama about. And who'll be laughing then? People seeing through the shit the person is causing and they have become the joke, instead of the people manipulated, because joke was on them to start with for feeding into the narcissist's crap.
