The Wire
Unraveling Life's Mysteries with Allen Stone's 'The Wire'
Lyrics
Who made up these rules?
Questioning the origin of societal rules and norms.
Who's a star and who's a tool?
Exploring the distinctions between those considered stars and tools.
And who's a genius and who's a fool?
Reflecting on the definitions of genius and fool.
Oh, who made up these rules?
Reiterating the inquiry into the source of these established rules.
Who wrote all of these laws?
Raising questions about the authors of societal laws.
When to spit and when to applaud?
Questioning the appropriateness of reactions, such as when to applaud.
What's up, the Devil and what's up, God?
Pondering existence and morality by mentioning the Devil and God.
'Cause I'm too tired of walking this wire
Expressing fatigue and frustration with navigating societal expectations.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Describing the internal struggle, alternating between being cold and impassive or passionate and intense.
I'm so tired of walking this wire
Reiterating the exhaustion from the constant balancing act.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Highlighting the internal dichotomy, being torn between extremes.
Who made up these rules?
Repeating the questioning of societal norms and distinctions.
Who's a star and who's a tool?
Revisiting the theme of distinguishing between stars and tools.
And who's a genius and who's a fool?
Continuing to ponder the definitions of genius and fool.
Oh, who made up these rules?
Emphasizing the ongoing uncertainty about established rules.
Who wrote all of these laws?
Returning to the questioning of the creators of societal laws.
When to spit and when to applaud?
Examining the appropriateness of responses and reactions.
What's up, the Devil and what's up, God?
Continuing to contemplate the profound aspects of existence.
'Cause I'm too tired of walking this wire
Reiterating the exhaustion from the constant balancing act.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Describing the internal struggle, alternating between being cold and impassive or passionate and intense.
I'm so tired of walking this wire
Expressing the weariness from the ongoing challenge of societal expectations.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Highlighting the internal dichotomy, being torn between extremes.
'Cause I'm too tired of walking this wire
Reiterating the fatigue and frustration with societal expectations.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Describing the internal struggle, alternating between being cold and impassive or passionate and intense.
I'm so tired of walking this wire
Emphasizing the ongoing exhaustion from navigating societal norms.
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Highlighting the internal dichotomy, being torn between extremes.
