Lyrics

You've got a fast brain,

You possess a quick and agile mind.


it's like a bullet train.

Your mental speed is comparable to a high-speed train.


You've been branded,

You have been marked or identified in some way.


LINE TO BE ADDED !

The specific line is not provided for interpretation.


Your scream's like gasoline,

Your expression of pain or distress is intense, likened to gasoline.


it burned me to the core.

This intense expression of pain has deeply affected the speaker.


You used to stand for something,

You used to have principles or beliefs, but they have been abandoned.


but not any more.

You no longer uphold the values you once stood for.


And when I turned to you,

The speaker turned to you at a time of need.


in my hour of need.

The speaker sought your support during a challenging time.


I looked into your eyes,

When looking into your eyes, avarice or extreme selfishness is evident.


and saw the pure greed.

The speaker perceives pure greed when examining your eyes.


Yeah when I turned to you,

Again, the speaker turned to you, but this time on bended knees.


on my bended knees.

Seeking assistance or understanding while in a vulnerable position.


I looked into your eyes,

Your eyes reveal a glaring, unadulterated greed.


and they shone a pure green.

Upon closer inspection, the eyes shine with a pure, intense greed.


Domino skyscrapers and thunder,

Metaphorical references to falling skyscrapers and thunder, suggesting a collapse or crisis.


not just another face, just another number.

Individuals are not merely faces but are treated as mere numbers.


Domino skyscrapers and thunder,

Repetition of the imagery of falling skyscrapers and thunder, emphasizing a significant downfall.


not just another face, just another number.

Reiteration of the dehumanizing concept where individuals are reduced to numbers.


You've got a big life,

You lead a grand or prominent life.


but I heard that it's broken.

Rumors suggest that despite appearances, your life is fractured or dysfunctional.


Now I'm gonna' sit and laugh,

The speaker plans to mock or deride until overwhelmed with laughter.


until my eyes are soakin'.

The laughter will continue until tears flow from the speaker's eyes.
