Lyrics

You had me at hell no

You captured my attention with a strong refusal or rejection.

I only want what I can't have

I desire only what is unattainable.

You're always slipping through my fingers

You consistently evade my grasp or control.

Ain't that just too bad

Isn't that unfortunate or regrettable?


I'm love with a work of fiction

I am infatuated with an imaginary or unreal creation.

Somewhere off in the distance

Somewhere distant, there is an element of this fiction.

I'm in love with a list of things they tell me you should be

I am enamored with societal expectations that dictate what you should be.


Programmed to TV pretty

Conditioned to conform to an aesthetically pleasing standard on television.

Created such an ugly mind

This conformity has given rise to an unattractive or undesirable mindset.

Salivate for celebrity

Longing for public figures and fame, showing a strong desire for celebrity status.

Or a copy I might find

Or hoping to find a duplicate or imitation.


But if I had you in my claws

If I had control or possession of you,

I'd expose every flaw

I would reveal and highlight every imperfection.

Programmed to plastic

Conditioned to be artificial or superficial.

Set fire to it all

Destroy everything associated with this artificiality.
