Lyrics
Lighter than a feather
Feeling carefree and unburdened
Compared to the meat on my bones
Comparing oneself to the physical body, emphasizing lightness
You should know way better
Suggesting that the other person should have better judgment
Than to cross me in my road
Warning against crossing or opposing the speaker
Mine
Emphasizing possession or control
Away
Implies a sense of distance or separation
Turn back
Command to retreat or reverse course
Your skin's the thinnest cloth
Comparing someone's skin to thin fabric, possibly vulnerability
I used to know when to stop ripping
Reflecting on a past ability to control impulses
Flesh
Referring to tearing into flesh, possibly a metaphor for aggression
My teeth
Highlighting personal attributes, teeth as a symbol of strength
My Sunday best
Suggesting a superior or refined state, possibly sarcastically
Thrash the street
Engaging in aggressive behavior in public
My puffing chest
Expressing confidence or arrogance
Blows steam
Describing a release of pressure or tension
Look at me
Seeking attention or recognition
I'm a hell-hound, a man-eater
Identifying as fierce and predatory
My enemy is anyone like me
Declaring a commonality with the speaker's enemies
And I don't care how many eyes are on mine
Indicating indifference to scrutiny or judgment
How many teeth will I bare 'til I bite?
Questioning how aggressive the speaker will become
Flesh
Repetition of the theme of tearing into flesh
My teeth
Reiterating the importance of teeth, possibly as a weapon
My Sunday best
Recalling a refined or superior state on a specific day
Thrash the street
Repeating the act of aggressive behavior in public
My puffing chest
Reiterating confidence or arrogance
Blows steam
Continuing the theme of pressure release and assertiveness
