Lyrics

Fightin' with the neighbours and screwin' the wife

Conflict with neighbors and infidelity

Hip hop music ruined my life

Expressing how hip hop impacted negatively

I bitch and I moan, I lie and I cheat

Complaining, lying, and dishonest behavior

Waiting for the night when I die in my sleep

Wishing for an end during sleep

I listen to the jukebox and sit by the bar

Listening to music at a bar

Taking care of a dog that got hit by a car

Caring for an injured dog

Praying for salvation, needing a miracle

Hoping for salvation or a miracle

Drowning in new music and reading material

Overwhelmed by new music and reading

Shoe laces untied, telling people I'm rich

False claims of wealth

Who can't tell the difference between real art and high kitch

Not understanding real art from kitsch

Mouth like a broken bottle, crooked and bottomless

Describing speech as damaged and untrustworthy

Half wolf, half crow, half hippopotamus

Feeling like a mixture of disparate creatures

Sturdy as a paper bag, as well, my face is flawed

Comparing self to a fragile object with flaws

But keeping the fire going by the grace of God

Surviving by some spiritual or divine force

And I'm loathe to think that we missed our chance

Regret for missing an opportunity

To find a way out of this downward dance

Desire to escape a negative cycle

We got it all wrong

Recognizing a collective misunderstanding


Singing a song with a rock in my mouth

Singing with difficulty or impediment

Nobody knows what I'm talking about

Feeling misunderstood or not comprehended

Lost without a marketing plan and a stylist

Being lost without marketing and style

Here comes the vilest nihilist finalist

Introducing a nihilistic character

Once and for all, barbed wire and rope

Metaphorical use of barbed wire and rope

The most beautiful woman is strung out on dope

Beauty struggling with addiction

Slowly the music, died, died, died

Reference to music's decline

Three white horses side by side

Symbolic image of three white horses

Last change to change, you better hurry, quick

Urgency for change and decision-making

Laying in a bed, wide awake and I'm worried sick

Feeling anxious while wide awake

Completely out-foxed, I hide from the phone

Avoiding communication and isolation

And I swear this pen has a mind of its own

Personifying a pen's autonomy

Jaws that go through solid steel, a clenched fist

Describing intense determination or anger

A breath of fresh air for once and a French kiss

Desiring a refreshing moment and intimacy

The weight of the world and collapsable me

Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities

I'm talking about trouble with a capital T

Referring to significant trouble or problems

We got it all wrong

Reiterating a collective misunderstanding
