Lyrics

You're getting under my skin,

You're causing irritation or annoyance.

the places that you've been.

Refers to the places or situations you've been involved in.

You're dishing out the dirt,

You're spreading gossip or negative information.

and sure know how to hurt.

You know how to inflict emotional pain or harm.


But you're going nowhere ya missing the whole damn point,

Despite your actions, you're not achieving anything and missing the main point.

lighten up, lighten up and we'll rip the joint.

Suggests a call to relax and enjoy life together.


You're makin' whips, makin whips for your own back,

You are creating problems or difficulties for yourself.

makin' whips, makin' whips you're gonna' crack,

Continuing to create problems that will lead to your downfall.

makin' whips, makin whips.

Reiteration of the act of creating problems for oneself.


Your empty headed dreams,

Your aspirations or ideas lack substance or are deceptive.

just like an old smoke screen.

Comparing empty dreams to a deceptive screen hiding reality.

You stand behind your spite,

You support negativity without understanding moral principles.

don't know what's wrong or right.

You lack a clear sense of right or wrong.


Now it's grating on my nerves,

Your actions are becoming increasingly annoying.

your twisting body swerves.

Your movements or behavior are causing irritation.

Got a self-inflicted bruise,

You have self-inflicted problems or consequences.

got rubber bumper blues.

Feeling the negative consequences of your actions.


Remove the thorns from your crown,

Suggesting to remove the difficulties or challenges you've created for yourself.

feel it when the whip comes down.

Feeling the consequences when facing criticism or punishment.
