Lyrics
I'm caught waiting
I feel trapped in anticipation
Standing on artificial limbs
I stand on artificial limbs, suggesting a lack of authenticity or genuineness
Foam head and synthetic skin
Referring to a fabricated identity with a foam head and synthetic skin
Now I'm hating while they're debating
Expressing resentment while others are discussing or deliberating
Because they waited oh so long
Others delayed, and now I am facing the consequences
I might cry, I might cry, then I'll rust
Emotional vulnerability, crying may lead to rust, possibly metaphorical
See the way it broke me and the way it messed me up
Reflecting on personal breakdown and its impact
See all their excuses just add up
Noting that excuses from others accumulate
Now I'm running out of clever things to say
Running out of clever responses or justifications
The moth is low enough for the cat now
Metaphor of a moth being within reach for the cat
She is coming up the garden path now
A person (she) approaching, possibly with symbolic significance
Around the verandah and uh . . . Amanda
Describing a path and mentioning Amanda, possibly a person's name
A penny saved is a penny
A traditional saying about saving money, possibly reflecting on value
Let's take some time to keep in mind
Encouraging reflection on the past or important matters
I'm severing myself from lies that bind
Breaking free from deceitful influences
And I will be here not feeling a thing
Committing to emotional detachment
I will be waiting patiently
Expressing readiness to wait patiently
See the way it broke me and the way it messed me up
Reiterating the impact of personal breakdown and accumulated excuses
See all their excuses just add up
Stressing the accumulation of excuses from others
See all of my wires just tangle up
Highlighting the complexity or entanglement of personal struggles
I used to be hateful she says
Recollecting a past state of being hateful
Then why has she come to take a look at me now
Questioning why someone is observing the transformation
Oh how I've changed
Acknowledging personal change
Now I'm loathesome
Expressing self-loathing
See the way it broke me the way it messed me up
Revisiting the impact of personal breakdown
See all their excuses just pile up
Emphasizing the accumulation of excuses
All of a sudden being young's no longer fun
Reflecting on the loss of enjoyment in being young
