Lyrics
You think you're so smooth, slick in the way you move
You believe you are slick and adept in your movements
You think you're so smooth, you got no reason to improve
You believe you are already flawless and don't need improvement
I don't think so
Disagreement or skepticism about the aforementioned beliefs
Well if you think you're so smooth, slick in the way you move
Reiteration of the belief in one's smoothness and resistance to change
Well if you think you're so smooth, you've got a reason to improve
Reiteration with a suggestion that improvement is necessary
But if the time we take is all for something more
Possibly questioning the purpose or value of the time spent
You wanted everything, oh no
Desire for everything and potential disappointment
You're effervescent in the faces of your crimes
Being vibrant or lively in the face of committing wrongs
"She'll stay alive, alive"
A quoted line, possibly a perspective of someone else
I'm watching this drift out of your mind
Observing something slipping away from your consciousness
She's lying on the floor, you're busy playing all alone
Depiction of a person lying on the floor while you're occupied playing
She's crying on the phone, you're busy picking your new ringtone
Contrast between someone crying on the phone and your focus on a new ringtone
They say that it's over, but they don't really know for sure
Contradictory statements about the certainty of it being over
They say that it's over, time of death is five past 4:00
Specifying a time of death as five past 4:00, possibly symbolic
Cause if the time we take is all for something more
Revisiting the question of the purpose or value of the time spent
You wanted everything, oh no
Reiteration of the desire for everything and potential disappointment
You're effervescent in the faces of your crimes
Reiteration of being lively in the face of committing wrongs
"She'll stay alive, alive"
Quoted line possibly reflecting someone else's perspective
I'm watching this drift out of your mind
Observing something slipping away from your consciousness (similar to line 13)
She's dying on the floor, you're busy playing all alone
Depiction of someone dying on the floor while you're occupied playing
She's crying on the phone, you're busy picking your new ringtone
Contrast between someone crying on the phone and your focus on a new ringtone (similar to line 15)
You're taking your time, you soul underminer
Taking time to undermine someone's soul
Lifeless alone through the ruined eyeliner
Being lifeless and alone, possibly due to emotional distress
Trying to voice the words from her head
Attempting to articulate thoughts while facing the consequences
But inside she's dead, cause you killed her off instead
Internal death of someone, metaphorically killed by your actions
