Lyrics

It's not complicated,

Expressing that the situation is not complex.

the lines been drawn.

Highlighting the clear boundary or decision that has been made.

But I can't differentiate,

Expressing difficulty in distinguishing the perspective or allegiance of the other person.

the side you're on.

Questioning which side the other person is on.


Are you my nemesis or my lover,

Pondering whether the other person is an adversary or a romantic partner.

I guess six a once half a dozen of another ...

Indicating that the distinction between the two possibilities is negligible.


When it's water under the bridge,

Referring to a past conflict or issue that is now irrelevant or resolved.

I guess it is what you say it is.

Accepting the situation as the other person describes it.

So go ahead and push me,

Encouraging the other person to take action that may cause pain or difficulty.

put me out of my misery.

Expressing a desire to be relieved from suffering or hardship.

But I still can't see why you'd come waidin' in ... after me.

Expressing confusion about the other person's motives for getting involved.


I can feel the wear and tear,

Describing the physical and emotional toll of aging.

the older I get.

Highlighting the impact of time on the body and mind.

I can hear the gear slip and squeak when I step.

Describing a sense of wear and tear through audible signals.


So what's the point with all your bullshit comments.

Questioning the purpose or value of negative remarks from the other person.

So what's the difference in backhanded compliments and loaded questions.

Questioning the distinction between insincere compliments and manipulative queries.


When it's water under the bridge,

Repeating the idea of past issues being irrelevant or resolved.

I guess it is what you say it is.

Reiterating acceptance of the situation as described by the other person.

So go ahead and push me,

Encouraging the other person to take action causing distress.

put me out of my misery.

Expressing a desire to be relieved from suffering or hardship (repeated).

But I still can't see why you'd come waidin' in ... after me.

Expressing continued confusion about the other person's motives.
