Lyrics
I just caved in,
The speaker feels defeated or overwhelmed.
Put the money in the bag
Suggests a criminal act, possibly a robbery.
Take the pleasure as payment
Choosing enjoyment as a form of compensation.
Take an oath then break it
Making promises and then deliberately breaking them.
Repay the masses for years
Repaying society for an extended period of time.
Face down on the pavement
Symbolizes a low point, perhaps feeling defeated.
Lock the kids in the basement
An extreme or metaphorical action, isolating children.
Never offer us the truth
A lack of transparency or honesty from authorities.
Don't know what its been laced with
Uncertainty about the nature of a substance.
Give us all displacement
Forced displacement or removal from a familiar environment.
We're just code in your game
Viewing oneself as mere data in a larger system.
We're forever being nameless
A sense of perpetual anonymity.
So I can't feel what you say
An inability to empathize with others.
'Cause I dont care which bones break
Indifference to personal harm or suffering.
Let the gold come take my place
Accepting a substitute (gold) to endure difficulties.
Come and intrude in my space
Alluding to invasion or intrusion of personal space.
Give me a reason to love you
Requesting a justification for love.
Give me a reason to care
Seeking a reason to care about something.
Give me a reason to love you
Reiterating the need for a reason to love.
Give me a reason
Emphasizing the importance of having a reason.
You won't face it
Refusal or inability to confront a situation.
Living long and happy lives
Expressing the idea that a content life requires complacency.
Always takes complacence
The speaker has run out of patience.
But i've lost my patience
Frustration with people pretending about financial matters.
Watching all of you pretend
An observation of others pretending that wealth is acquired easily.
That the money came painless
A warning to be prepared for difficult times.
Better brace when the wave hits
Bracing for a significant and challenging event.
Make a deal with the devil
Engaging in morally questionable actions for personal gain.
Forget god's graces
Disregarding divine assistance or blessings.
Go ahead and evade it
Encouraging avoidance of a difficult truth.
But the deeds been done
Acknowledging irreversible actions.
So I'll Never Escape This
Acceptance of an inescapable consequence.
So I can't feel what you say
Reiterating an inability to connect with others emotionally.
'Cause I dont care which bones break
Indifference to physical harm or suffering.
Let the gold come take my place
Willingness to let go of material wealth for a substitute.
Come and intrude in my space
Inviting interference or violation of personal boundaries.
Cause I don't care what you say
Repeating the indifference to external opinions or words.
So I can't feel which bones break
Reiterating the emotional numbness to physical harm.
Let the gold come take my place
Expressing the willingness to trade places for material gain.
Come and intrude in my space
Inviting intrusion or violation of personal space.
Cause I can't feel what you say
Reiterating the inability to feel or comprehend emotional messages.
No I don't care which bones break
Emphasizing the lack of concern for physical harm or suffering.
Let the gold come take my place
Willingness to sacrifice for material wealth.
Come and intrude in my space
Openness to intrusion or violation of personal boundaries.
