Beam me up, soft boy

With your lines about Freud and Jung
Criticizing the person's use of psychological concepts from Freud and Jung, suggesting pretentiousness.
Standing in the corner of the party
Observing the person standing alone at a party, feeling detached or superior.
Laughing at a meme I don't know I'm above
Mocking the person for laughing at a meme that the speaker considers beneath them.
Have you even fucking lived yet?
Questioning the person's life experiences and implying they lack meaningful experiences.
Standing at the back of the room, never having any fun
Describing the person as socially distant, not participating in the enjoyment of the event.
Paraphrasing nasty women
Accusing the person of paraphrasing feminist ideas without genuine understanding or commitment.
And then forgotten all the context 'cause you never finish 'em
Highlighting the person's lack of commitment by forgetting the context of their statements.
You're itching
Describing a sense of discomfort or irritation.
You can really feel it in your blood
Expressing a visceral reaction, possibly anger or disgust, at the mention of someone's name.
Skin crawling
-Every single time you see his name pop up
-He's wretched
Labeling the person as morally repugnant or despicable.
Kitchen full of glasses
Painting a picture of the person's lifestyle, living arrangements, and past mistakes.
Stolen from a two-mile radius
-Pint glasses and a drawer full of out of date Valium
-The prince of East London
-But he lives with his parents out in Islington
-Ain't got a car, he's got a skateboard
-Proud owner of a DUI at age nineteen
-You're itching
Repeating the visceral reaction, extending it to the person's supposed love life, suggesting heartbreak.
You can really feel it in your blood

-You can really feel it in his love
-Heartbreaking
-Every single time it never feels enough
-He's a parasite
Declaring the person as a "parasite" with a sarcastic reference to their self-perceived comedic talent.
But he thinks he's a comedian
-You won't be laughing in the morning
-When you're trying to find a clinic with a free appointment
-Better safe than sorry girl
-Too little, too late and now you've been burned
-But at least you ain't pregnant
-He's a parasite in a parasitic world
-He's a parasite
Repeating the characterization of the person as a "parasite" for emphasis.
He's a parasite
