Lyrics
You lost the adrenaline
You've lost the excitement and thrill
There's water in the rust
There's deterioration or decay, represented by water in the rust
There's no medicine
There's no remedy or cure
Just tell me when we're done
Expressing a desire for clarity on when the relationship will end
Going back and forth
Describing a situation of uncertainty or indecision, going back and forth
Going back and forth
-What you need me for
Questioning the necessity of the speaker's presence in the relationship
If you'll leave for more
If you're going to leave for something more
So stay away as the times will change
Advising to stay away as circumstances will change
As we switch the lanes
Anticipating changes in the relationship as it evolves
All i could say is
The speaker expresses limited ability to articulate their feelings
Could I be
Pondering the possibility of being
The one that sets you free
Questioning if the speaker could be the one to liberate the other person
Or would I be
Alternatively, could the speaker end up as just another imitator or follower
Another wannabe
Repeating the theme of being a wannabe, someone who aspires but may not succeed
Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
Discouraging the idea of claiming a predetermined destiny in a relationship
That you're meant to be
Rejecting assertions about someone else being the only focus in the speaker's eyes
Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
-That he's all you see
-Empty promises
Mentions of unfulfilled commitments or assurances
You're talking
Discussion of qualities desired, contrasted with actions and choices
'Bout the qualities you want
-Catch me falling
-While you're calling him
-Start cashin in my loss
Addressing the cost or consequence of the speaker's losses
You
Expressing feelings of deception, urging recognition of the truth, and the need to end the relationship
Won't see the lie
-You think im fine
-Think its time
-To leave me right
-Repeat the lines
-I see no light
-Think its time
-To leave me right
Repeating the idea that it's time to leave
So
Transition to questioning the speaker's role in the other person's life
What am I
Pondering the significance of the speaker in the other person's perspective
To you?
Reiterating the themes of potential liberation or imitation and rejecting predetermined roles in the relationship
Could I be
-The one that sets you free
-Or would I be
-Another wannabe
-Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
-That you're meant to be
-Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
-That he's all you see
-Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
-That you're meant to be
-Wannabe
-Wannabe
-Don't start telling me
-That he's all you
-(Wannabe, wannabe)
Continuing the rejection of predefined roles, emphasizing the speaker's independence
(Don't start telling me)
-(That you're meant to be)
