You and You Alone
Embracing Control: Self-Destruction in Code Orange's Melody
Lyrics
You do well under control
You perform effectively when someone else is in control.
You play your part, you know your role
You fulfill your designated role and responsibilities.
You do best when you're controlled
Your optimal state is when external forces govern you.
Now it's on you and you alone
The responsibility is now solely on you, and you alone.
I love the way
Expressing admiration for a particular behavior or characteristic.
You choose to forget our history
You intentionally overlook or ignore our shared past.
It's feeding me
This act is providing sustenance or energy for something important.
Grooming me for what I need to be
Shaping or preparing for what is necessary in the future.
The enemy
The one causing harm or opposition.
Shut your fucking mouth
A direct command to be silent.
Commiserate
To express sorrow or pity together.
In memory of self respect, of inner peace
In honor of self-respect and inner peace.
You do well under control
You perform effectively when someone else is in control (repeated).
You play your part, you know your role
You fulfill your designated role and responsibilities (repeated).
You do best when you're controlled
Your optimal state is when external forces govern you (repeated).
Now it's on you and you alone
The responsibility is now solely on you, and you alone (repeated).
It's killing me
This is causing significant distress or harm.
Every line that you scribble on the page
Every written line contributes to the distress or harm.
In trying to be
Striving to embody a combination of observed qualities.
An amalgamation of everything you've seen
An attempt to be a reflection of various experiences.
You want to be
The desire to be accepted by everyone, which is a vulnerability.
Everybody's friend, that makes you weak
Seeking approval from everyone makes you vulnerable.
You go with flow
Adapting to the prevailing trend or consensus.
You're so in on the joke
You are fully aware of and engaged in the current situation or joke.
So in the know
Being well-informed or aware of things.
What you showed me
Revealing something important.
What you told me
Conveying information or advice.
With welled up eyes
With eyes filled with tears, expressing something important.
What you showed me
Reiterating something shown earlier.
It's all ammo
Everything shown or presented is ammunition against you.
In your demise
All that has been revealed will contribute to your downfall.
Now it's on
The responsibility is now (repeated) solely on you, and you alone.
On you and on you alone
The burden is now on you, and you alone (repeated).
Now it's on
-On you and on you alone
-Now it's on
-On you and on you alone
-Now it's on
-On you and on you alone
-You do well under control
You perform effectively when someone else is in control (repeated).
You play your part, you know your role
You fulfill your designated role and responsibilities (repeated).
You do best when you're controlled
Your optimal state is when external forces govern you (repeated).
Now it's on you and you alone
The responsibility is now solely on you, and you alone (repeated).
