Excuses
Unraveling the Charade: Ali Sperry's 'Excuses' Meaning
Lyrics
Everyone’s attacking you, oh
Others are criticizing or attacking you.
But they can’t run as fast as you
Despite the criticism, they cannot keep up with you.
You say “catch me if you can”
You challenge others to catch you, displaying confidence.
Words you choose bite back at you, you know
The words you use come back to haunt you.
No it’s not the way that you
It's not going as you planned.
Had planned to play the game
Your approach to the situation is not unfolding as expected.
Oh, I’m sure you can explain
You believe you can provide an explanation.
But all I’m hearing is excuses
All that's being heard are excuses.
I don’t want your excuses now
The speaker doesn't want to hear your excuses at this moment.
I’m not rooting for you to fuck it up
The speaker isn't wishing for you to fail, but you did mess up again.
But you did it again somehow
Repetition of making mistakes affects everyone negatively.
And everybody loses
Everyone loses when you play the role of the party clown.
When you play the part of the party clown
Playing the clown with these excuses is futile.
With these useless excuses now
(Empty Line)
Amazing how you nail it every time
Your success is consistent, impressive each time.
Imagine what you tell yourself
Consider what lies you tell yourself before sleeping.
When you lay down your head at night
Reflecting on your actions when you lay down at night.
Don’t you ever tire of the charade
Are you not tired of the act you put on?
The jig is up but you just keep
Though the deception is revealed, you keep dancing.
Dancing anyway
(Empty Line)
Yeah, I’m sure you can explain
You believe you can still explain your actions.
But all I’m hearing is excuses
The speaker doesn't want to hear your excuses now.
I don’t want your excuses now
The speaker isn't hoping for your failure, but you messed up again.
I’m not rooting for you to fuck it up
Repetition of making mistakes negatively impacts everyone.
But you did it again somehow
Everyone loses when you play the role of the party clown.
And everybody loses
Playing the clown with these excuses is futile.
When you play the part of the party clown
(Empty Line)
With these useless excuses now
-These useless excuses now
These excuses are useless.
