Lyrics
Kind servant
Referring to oneself as a humble and obedient person
Cruel Master
Addressing someone as a harsh and unkind authority figure
You've paid your dues
Having fulfilled obligations or endured hardships
You'll always lose
Expressing a perpetual sense of defeat or failure
Blank faces
People with emotionless expressions
Looking down on me
Observers looking down on the speaker with disdain
Blank faces
Continuation of disdainful faces surrounding the speaker
Surround the scene
Describing the environment filled with indifferent faces
Blank faces
Repetition of the negative atmosphere created by blank faces
Looking down on me
Repeated feeling of being judged by emotionless faces
Blank faces
Continuing to see indifferent and unfeeling expressions
Is all that I see
Emphasizing the prevalence of emotionless faces in the speaker's life
We are the architects of our own disaster
Human beings are responsible for their own catastrophic situations
Kind mistress
Referring to another person as a compassionate figure
Cruel master
Addressing someone as a harsh and unkind authority figure again
Chasing my tail, this isn't what I was after
Expressing frustration at being stuck in an undesirable situation
Kind mistress
Reiteration of addressing a compassionate figure
Cruel master
Repeating the address to a harsh and unkind authority figure
This goes out to those who wanna run their mouth
Addressing those who criticize the speaker's desires for change
About the things I wanna change
Referring to criticisms about the speaker's desired changes
I'm separating myself from your pain
Deciding to distance oneself from the pain of others
Can’t entertain this anymore
Expressing a refusal to engage in a particular situation any longer
No energy, no sympathy
Having no interest or compassion for the situation
I see your burning effigy in front of me
Visualizing the symbolic burning of someone's representation
As you smolder I grow colder
As the symbolic representation burns, the speaker becomes emotionally distant
You can't do better than that
Expressing dissatisfaction with someone's efforts
You gotta admit
Acknowledging the speaker's role in spreading negativity
We are the negativity that we emit
Highlighting the responsibility for emitting negative energy
You gotta pay attention
Emphasizing the need to be aware of the surrounding tension
You gotta feel the tension
Encouraging a conscious recognition of emotional strain
This goes out to those who wanna run their mouth
Repeating the address to those critical of the speaker's desires for change
About the things I wanna change
Reiterating the criticism of things the speaker wants to change
You keep moving I remain the same
While others progress, the speaker remains unchanged
I'm separating myself from your fucking pain
Further distancing oneself from the pain and negativity of others
