Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Don't want to talk about it

Expressing a reluctance to discuss a certain topic

Is exactly what you said

Highlighting a previous statement or instruction

Another grudge in the pipeline

Referring to another unresolved resentment or dispute

And all you can see is red

Indicating intense anger or frustration


You live for the holidays

Emphasizing a preference for holiday seasons

But not for the obvious reasons

Suggesting unconventional reasons for enjoying holidays

A captive audience for your production

Describing a situation where the speaker is a captive audience

On the eve of your killing season

Referring to a period associated with harmful actions


What exactly did we do this time

Questioning the specific wrongdoing leading to conflict

Did you lose track of your grievances

Asking if the grievances are forgotten or disregarded

Do you need more time to ferment and stew

Inquiring about the need for more time for resentment to grow

While fixated on neighboring cleavages

Referencing a fixation on irrelevant matters


Can't you forget about it

Encouraging the act of letting go and moving on

Why don't you just let things be

Suggesting acceptance and avoiding unnecessary conflict

It's always been a double standard

Pointing out a historical inconsistency in behavior

Please spare us your third degree

Requesting avoidance of excessive questioning or interrogation


Trying to keep the peace

Attempting to maintain harmony in the situation

Hold off calling the police, a few more hours

Advising against involving law enforcement prematurely

Double talk, showboating and more false bravado

Criticizing deceptive communication and false confidence

If there was an award presented

Imagining a scenario where the speaker could be recognized

You would be up for at least a nomination

Suggesting recognition for a destructive achievement

For your new independent film called

Introducing the concept of a personal film project

My favorite obliteration

Revealing the title of the hypothetical film


Can't you forget about it

Reiterating the suggestion to move on and forget

Why don't you just let things be

Repeating the call for acceptance and non-interference

It's always been a double standard

Pointing out a consistent pattern of unequal treatment

Please spare us your third degree

Asking to avoid intense questioning or investigation


Can't you forget about it

Encouraging letting go of resentment and moving forward

You've made firewood of the family tree

Describing irreparable damage to family relationships

There's not much left, we're gone, just like the rest

Indicating the disappearance of family connections

Tarnished memories make great enemies

Highlighting the negative impact of tarnished memories


Can't you forget about it

Repeating the plea to forget and move on

Can't you forget about it

Reiterating the difficulty of erasing memories

Memories just can't be unseen

Emphasizing the lasting impact of negative memories

Tarnished memories cannot be unseen

Stressing the permanence of the damage caused by negative memories
