Lyrics

Doesn't feel right, but it feels good

Contradictory feelings - something doesn't feel right but is enjoyable.

And everyone reacted how you said they would

Expectations met as predicted by someone.

When trees are made from plywood

Metaphorically suggesting artificiality or fakeness.

The wealthy eat angel meat

An expression of societal disparity or extreme wealth.


Talk to yourself when no one else will listen

Seeking solace in self-reflection when no one else listens.

Would be easier to handle if it was a condition

Would prefer it to be a diagnosed condition for easier handling.

You like to watch as they make the incision

Interest in observing others' actions in a surgical manner.

Was he pushed? Did he fall? Was it a crime at all?

Questioning whether an incident was accidental or criminal.


White knuckles of a man-child

Describing tense or anxious hands of an immature adult.

White knuckles, no more teeth to grind

Relief from grinding teeth due to stress or anxiety.

White knuckles and a flatline

Association of tense hands with a lifeless state.

White knuckles, pearls before swine

Comparing tense hands to offering something valuable to unappreciative individuals.


God knows I've tried,

Expressing attempts made despite challenges or hardships.

But I hate it with a passion

Strongly dislike something intensely.

Got trouble sleeping,

Difficulty in sleeping or insomnia.

But I think there's an app for that

Suggesting reliance on technology to aid sleep.

I felt the yanking

Feeling a sharp tug or pain emotionally.

Of the fish hooks in my heart,

Symbolic imagery of emotional pain akin to hooks piercing the heart.

And bought some shotgun shells

Metaphorically seeking self-defense or protection.

And shacked up in a cheap motel

Retreating to a low-cost accommodation, suggesting emotional withdrawal.


White knuckles of a man-child

Repetition emphasizing tense hands of an immature adult.

White knuckles, no more teeth to grind

Reiteration of relief from stressful teeth grinding.

White knuckles and a flatline

Repetition linking tense hands to a lifeless state.

White knuckles, pearls before swine

Reiteration of comparing tense hands to offering value to unappreciative individuals.
