Lyrics
Don't you know that one day, you'll be found out?
Warning that someday the truth about you will be revealed
Faulty explanations, changing colors all breed doubt
Unreliable explanations and inconsistency breed skepticism
You push your thoughts away from the day when you must pay
Avoiding facing consequences until the inevitable time of accountability
When the storm becomes a blizzard, don't play dead like a lizard
During difficult times, don't feign ignorance or act in a cowardly manner
Pull it out, wash it off
Facing the truth and confronting it
With the blade of deception sheathed the wounds can heal
When deception is put aside, healing can begin
Though you like the darker climes, they shade you from the real
Preference for darker, hidden aspects shields from reality
Don't pull it off, cut it off
Instead of facing an issue, avoid it completely
A game is fair when the players abide by the rules
A fair game requires adherence to rules by all players
You speak with forked tongue and cast yourself the fool
Speaking deceitfully leads to self-inflicted foolishness
There's something slightly saurian in the structure of your skin
Comparing a reptilian characteristic to the structure of the skin
Your conscience is well padded, your reasoning is thin
Moral consciousness is cushioned, and reasoning is weak
So you put your prayers away until the hunt when you're the prey
Delaying moral considerations until facing consequences
On that darkest judgment night, the ledger books will be set right
Reckoning and balancing of deeds on a night of judgment
Pull it out, wash it off
Reiteration of the need to confront and deal with deception for healing
With the blade of deception sheathed the wounds can heal
Healing requires acknowledgment and closure of deceptive actions
Though you like the darker climes, they shade you from the real
Preference for avoiding reality by staying in darker, hidden aspects
Don't pull it off, cut it off
Advising against avoiding an issue but confronting it directly
A game is fair when the players abide by the rules
A fair game necessitates adherence to rules by all involved
You speak with forked tongue and cast yourself the fool
Speaking deceitfully leads to self-inflicted foolishness (repeated line)
Watch your tail
A metaphorical warning to be cautious and attentive
You're headed for a tailspin
Approaching a downward spiral or imminent failure
Approaching danger cuts the water like a shark's fin
The impending danger is as evident as a shark's fin cutting through water
Don't you know that one day, you'll be found out?
Reiteration of the earlier warning about the eventual exposure of truth
The changing colors
Reference to the inconsistency or changing nature of one's identity
Something slightly saurian in the structure of your skin
Repetition of the comparison between reptilian traits and one's skin structure
