Lyrics
Half the things you say make it seem alright
Expressing that some of the spoken words make situations appear acceptable.
But your hands around my neck grip too tight
Describing a physically restrictive and controlling aspect in the relationship, suggesting discomfort.
It seems every breath I take takes hours to come
Feeling a prolonged sense of time in each breath due to a strained atmosphere.
Because according to you, I don't deserve one
Perceiving a lack of worthiness for the right to breathe, as judged by the partner.
Oh, your wicked ways, mmm
Referring to the partner's morally objectionable behavior or actions.
Oh, your wicked ways
Reiterating the theme of the partner's morally objectionable actions or behavior.
Pull me down
Describing a forceful action by the partner to bring the speaker down until all external sounds are inaudible.
Pull me down
-Pull me down
-Ooh, 'til you can't hear a sound
-My muffled heartbeat
Depicting the impact of the partner's actions on the speaker's heartbeat and thought processes.
My silenced thinking
-Bring me up
-Bring me up
-Bring me up
-Ooh, dangle me off the ground
-My naïve daydreams
Expressing the partner's role in shattering innocent dreams and deflecting blame onto the speaker.
Your words astound me
-When are you gonna learn to mind your own business?
-When it comes to what you think or say, I don't give a rat's ass
-Who's saying it's my fault?
-Notice it's just you, and frankly baby, you don't have a clue
-Oh, your wicked ways, mmm
Repeating the mention of the partner's morally objectionable actions or behavior.
Oh, your wicked ways
Emphasizing the ongoing theme of the partner's morally objectionable actions or behavior.
Pull me down
Describing a repetitive pattern of forcefully pulling the speaker down until external sounds are inaudible.
Pull me down

-Ooh, 'til you can't hear a sound
-My muffled heartbeat,
Depicting the impact of the partner's actions on the speaker's heartbeat and thought processes, again.
My silenced thinking
-Bring me up
-Bring me up
-Bring me up
-Ooh, dangle me off the ground
-My naïve daydreams
Reiterating the partner's role in shattering innocent dreams and expressing amazement at their words.
Your words astound me
-Stop and take a listen
Suggesting the need for the partner to pause and reflect, acknowledging misunderstandings, with emphasis on the partner's responsibility.
It's all a hit and miss
-And the only one taking issue is
-You, you, you, you, you, you, you
-Pull me down
Repeating the forceful action of pulling the speaker down until external sounds are inaudible.
Pull me down
