Can't Work You Out
Unraveling the Enigma: "Can't Work You Out" by Dallas Crane
Lyrics
well I've seen 'em all little mamma
Expressing familiarity with various types of people.
from the broken hearted to the mad
Referring to experiences with individuals ranging from the heartbroken to the angry.
and no stethoscope of meter's
Suggesting that neither medical instruments nor poetic devices can fix the situation.
gonna put it right in my head
Rejecting the idea that external influences can resolve personal issues.
no I can't work you out
Expressing difficulty understanding someone.
and it's making me a little sad
Feeling a sense of melancholy due to the inability to comprehend the person.
well you terrorise everybody
Accusing the person of causing fear or distress to everyone.
with the blunt end of a knife
Describing a threatening action using a knife metaphorically.
who you gonna kill little mamma
Prompting the person to reveal their intentions for harm.
have you got somebody in mind
Asking if there is a specific target for potential harm.
no I can't work you out
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding the person and the decision not to attempt it.
and I'm not even gonna try
Declining any effort to comprehend the person further.
now I've seen it all little mamma
Reflecting on diverse experiences and offering advice.
and my best and only advice
Providing advice to stay away from potential harm until instructed otherwise.
is keep out of reach of children
Emphasizing the seriousness of the situation by likening it to a warning on dangerous items.
till I tell you otherwise
Delaying any involvement until receiving further guidance.
no I can't work you out
Reiterating the challenge of understanding the person and the decision not to pursue it.
and I'm not even gonna try
Confirming the decision to abstain from trying to comprehend the person.
