Lyrics
Feeling the table's turning
Feeling a shift or change in the situation
Something is changing here, tonight
Sensing a notable transformation happening tonight
Painting with red this evening
Metaphorically using red to depict intensity or passion in the atmosphere
Looks like you're in for quite the time
Seems like an exciting or eventful time for you
And it's not you, it's me
Taking responsibility for a situation's change without blaming the other person
I don't even know your name
Not familiar with the person being addressed
And I can't be guilty
Asserting innocence for a situation
'Cause I'm not the one to blame
Claiming not to be at fault
You don't want to be here
Repeated assertion that the person doesn't want to be present when everyone faces the truth or reality
You don't want to be here
-There's no hiding when we all come back to life
-You don't want to be here
-You don't want to be here
-There's no hiding when we all come back to life
-Got that venom in my blood
Expressing possessing something harmful and no escape for the other person
And there's nowhere you can run
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-Got that venom in my blood
-And there's nowhere you can run
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
Reiteration that nobody will hear the other person's plea or situation
(Down here)
-(Down here)
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-(Down here)
-(Down here)
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-You don't want to be here
Repetition emphasizing the person's discomfort or desire to avoid the situation
You don't want to be here
-You don't want to be here
-You don't want to be here
-Feeling the table's turning
Revisiting the feeling of a shift or change
Something is changing here tonight
Reaffirmation of change occurring tonight
Thinking it's you that's breathing
Believing that someone else is experiencing the intensity or change
Until they look in to your eyes
Until their true feelings or nature are revealed
And it's not them, it's you
Shifting blame away from others
You don't even know their names
Not familiar with the individuals involved
And most things that you do
Most actions taken aren't directly affecting others
No, you're not the one to blame
Denying responsibility for the situation
You don't want to be here
Reiteration of the desire to avoid facing reality with everyone else
You don't want to be here
-There's no hiding when we all come back to life
-You don't want to be here
-You don't want to be here
-There's no hiding when we all come back to life
-Got that venom in my blood
Reaffirming the possession of something harmful and the inability to escape
And there's nowhere you can run
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-Got that venom in my blood
-And there's nowhere you can run
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
-Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
Final assertion that nobody will hear the other person's situation or plea
Ain't nobody gonna hear you down here
