Lyrics
It's night out.
Setting the scene; it's nighttime.
Broken light outside the 7-11.
There's a broken light outside a 7-11.
Women looking for protection,
Women seeking protection.
Fucking armed with machetes
Women armed with machetes.
And eating beans
They are eating beans.
With a side of Spaghetti O's
They also have Spaghetti O's on the side.
While her child just wants some milk,
A child wants milk, but the mother prioritizes selfies.
But mom keeps those to her selfies.
Continuation of the mother's self-centered behavior.
And the lights flashed.
The lights flash, indicating an event.
I ain't saying nothin'.
The speaker remains silent about the event.
It's always floodin' when you live in the gutter
Living in difficult circumstances, possibly poverty.
And it's Mad Max for everybody
Life is like "Mad Max" for everyone in challenging situations.
When your body's just another bad decision
Your body becomes a consequence of bad decisions.
That you have to live with.
Acceptance of the consequences.
Looks nice, feels nice,
Appearance and sensation seem good.
So why not?
Questioning the harm in helping something that seems good.
Who's it hurt if you're helping it?
Rhetorical question about helping without harm.
Looks nice, feels nice
Positive appearance and sensation, questioning fear.
So why not?
Rhetorical question challenging fear.
What you scared or something?
Direct question about fears.
Tell me, whatcha' scared of?
Asking about specific fears.
Looks nice, feels nice,
Similar to lines 17-23, questioning the fear of helping.
So why not?
Reiteration of the positive aspect.
Who's it hurt if you're helping it?
Questioning harm in helping again.
Looks nice, feels nice,
Positive appearance and sensation, but the speaker is not a sucker.
But I'm not
Emphasizing the speaker's refusal to be a sucker.
A sucker but I keep getting sucker punched
Despite not being a sucker, the speaker keeps getting sucker punched, metaphorically facing unexpected setbacks.
They say there's good in people,
Common belief in the goodness of people.
Well that's what people say.
Highlighting the common saying about the goodness in people.
They say there's good in people.
Reiteration of the belief in the goodness of people.
Not sure who, but there's people saying it
Uncertainty about who is saying it.
They say there's good in people,
Repetition of the belief in the goodness of people.
But they say that people can change.
People can change, challenging the previous belief.
They say there's good in people.
Reiteration of the belief in the goodness of people.
Well, which one is it?
Questioning the inconsistency in beliefs.
Which one is it?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the inconsistency.
Love has more fire power,
Love is powerful, but hate causes more damage.
But hate makes more holes.
Emphasizing the destructive nature of hate.
Love has more fire power
Reiteration of the power of love.
But hate,
Contrasting love with the worth of hate.
Hate makes it all worth while.
Suggesting that hate makes life meaningful.
I've only felt recoil.
The speaker has only experienced negative consequences.
Looks nice, feels nice,
Positive appearance and sensation, but the speaker refuses to be a sucker.
But I'm not
Reiteration of the refusal to be a sucker.
A sucker.
The speaker is not a sucker.
Yeah, I know you are, but what am I?
Mockingly acknowledging the accusation of being a sucker.
