Mr Bratchy
Unmasking Mr. Bratchy's Charade: A Tale of Deception and Redemption
Lyrics
You gotta think about the ways you want to be useless
You should consider how you want to be unproductive or worthless.
If you want to prove the point that you're not all there
If you aim to demonstrate that you're mentally unstable or not fully present.
You gotta pick your words out carefully before lying
Be cautious and deliberate in selecting your words before deceiving.
Deep down you know you're competent with flair
Despite feeling incompetent, you have underlying skill and style.
Mr Bratchy
A direct address to a character called Mr Bratchy.
Won't you stand and help me?
Requesting assistance or support from Mr Bratchy.
You've faked your wheelchair and your identification
Accusation of falsifying disability and personal identification.
Mr Bratchy
Asking Mr Bratchy to reconsider thoughts directed at the speaker.
Take your thoughts back out me
Desire that the speaker hadn't been exposed to Mr Bratchy's thoughts.
And I wish I never heard them come up in conversation
Your ex-wife was right when she said you'd had inflation
Recognition of someone's previous warning about Mr Bratchy's self-importance.
(All the thoughts that come with ego went to your head)
Implying that Mr Bratchy's ego caused arrogance or self-centeredness.
As she smoked a cigarette on the couch beside me
Recalling a moment when Mr Bratchy's ex-wife expressed a desire for his demise.
She said 'I wish that you were nought but dead'
His ex-wife wished he didn't exist.
Mr Bratchy
Repeated request for assistance or support from Mr Bratchy.
Won't you stand and help me?
Reiteration of accusing Mr Bratchy of feigning disability and identity.
You've faked your wheelchair and your identification
Request for Mr Bratchy to retract thoughts aimed at the speaker.
Mr Bratchy
Wish that the speaker hadn't been exposed to Mr Bratchy's thoughts.
Take your thoughts back out me
And I wish I never heard them come up in conversation
-I like it like that
Expressing satisfaction or approval of a certain situation or circumstance.
Now you're sad 'cause you didn't get what you wanted
Feeling sorrowful because desires weren't fulfilled.
Now you think that you should just curl up and grieve
Considering withdrawing and mourning.
I can see you think your life has utterly wasted
Believing that life has been completely squandered.
But you've given me some stories to tell to my dreams
Acknowledging that Mr Bratchy's actions have provided material for the speaker's dreams.
Mr Bratchy
Repeated request for assistance or support from Mr Bratchy.
Won't you stand and help me?
Reiteration of accusing Mr Bratchy of feigning disability and identity.
You've faked your wheelchair and your identification
Request for Mr Bratchy to retract thoughts aimed at the speaker.
Mr Bratchy
Wish that the speaker hadn't been exposed to Mr Bratchy's thoughts.
Take your thoughts back out me
And I wish I never heard them come up in conversation
