Lyrics
There's a face I know too well
Reflection on a familiar face.
I see it every time I look in the mirror
Constant self-awareness, confronting one's own identity.
No I don't kiss and tell
Privacy and discretion in personal matters.
I'll tell you after I've betrayed you
Delaying disclosure until after betrayal.
Supersonic boy sweating sin
Describing a person as intense and morally challenged.
The pillar that I'm melting on you
Dependence on someone or something leading to a downfall.
Will prove you wrong
Confidence in proving others wrong.
Keep your lips sealed this just in
Advising to keep quiet about sensitive information.
You're speeding up the ticker
Accelerating the countdown to a potential crisis.
Of a walking time bomb
Describing oneself as a potential disaster.
Time's up
Time running out, urgency.
Stand up and face the muzak
Encouragement to confront artificial, soulless music.
Smile wide
Optimistic encouragement to smile despite challenges.
Step outside.
Leaving a problematic situation.
Click your sticks
Initiating action or change.
And cast a spell that'll suck my saliva like water from a well
Describing a magical or manipulative act affecting oneself.
I try to do what's right
Struggling to do what is morally right.
What's right ain't right enough
Moral actions not meeting expectations.
For you tonight.
Inadequacy in meeting someone's expectations.
I see you're displeased
Observing dissatisfaction or displeasure.
A middle finger response
Defiant response to criticism or negativity.
I'll try to appease
Attempting to reconcile and make amends.
I'm sorry, don't be mad.
Expressing regret and seeking forgiveness.
But ask me what I'm sorry for
Acknowledging wrongdoing without specific details.
And I won't have an answer...
Uncertainty or inability to explain the reason for apology.
Time's up
Reiteration of time running out, urgency in action.
Stand up
Encouragement to confront artificial, soulless music.
And face the muzak.
Optimistic encouragement to smile despite challenges.
Smile wide, step outside.
Leaving a problematic situation.
Look me in the eye and let 'em flow again.
Direct request for emotional expression and honesty.
Lies on the rocks with a twist of desperation.
Describing deception mixed with desperation.
Look me in the eye and let 'em flow again.
Repetition of a plea for emotional expression and honesty.
Lies on the rocks with a twist of desperation.
Reiteration of deception mixed with desperation.
Look me in the eye and let 'em flow again.
Continued plea for emotional expression and honesty.
Lies on the rocks with a twist of desperation.
Emphasizing the negative impact of deception.
Look me in the eye and let 'em flow again.
Final plea for emotional expression and honesty.
Lies on rocks on lies
Deception leading to a foundation of lies.
There's a face I know too well
Repetition of the initial reflection on a familiar face.
I see it every time I look in the mirror
Reiteration of constant self-awareness and identity confrontation.
No I don't kiss and tell
Reiteration of privacy and discretion in personal matters.
I'll tell you after I've betrayed you
Reiteration of delaying disclosure until after betrayal.
