Lyrics
Try not to think about it
Encouraging not to dwell on a certain topic or issue.
But you remind
Despite trying not to think about it, there is a reminder.
That we are heading in the wrong direction
Acknowledging that the situation is headed in the wrong direction.
You make me sick and tired
Expressing frustration and exhaustion with someone's behavior.
No never learn
Stating that the person never learns from their actions.
You put yourself on top and that just makes me
Observing that the person prioritizes themselves, causing frustration.
Slip and slide and wish my heart away
Describing a feeling of slipping and wishing for an escape from emotional pain.
Come a time when I don't feel like crawling
Anticipating a time when the speaker won't feel like crawling emotionally.
I try to do right until my heart breaks
Committing to doing the right thing despite the inevitable heartbreak.
In need of repair, it won't be you I'm calling
Rejecting the idea of seeking help from the person causing distress.
Try to take me down
Being resilient against attempts to bring the speaker down.
I'll be right up
Promising to rise up again despite challenges.
'Cause you aim too low
Criticizing the low aspirations of the person causing trouble.
And I've had enough
Expressing a sense of having endured enough negativity.
Always been top rated
Claiming to have always been highly regarded or esteemed.
You think you can change it?
Challenging the possibility of the person causing change.
Think that you can change it?
Questioning the potential for change in the troublesome person.
Top top top top rated
Reiterating being top-rated or esteemed.
Now there's no walking round it
Asserting that there's no avoiding the issue at hand.
Your attitude
Commenting on the problematic attitude of the person.
Keep barking at the top but I'm an underdog
Acknowledging being underestimated but determined.
I'm quitting, sick and tired
Expressing a decision to quit due to frustration.
No crown in your empire
Pointing out the absence of a crown in the person's self-proclaimed empire.
DIY pedestals are just what makes me
Noting that self-built pedestals cause the speaker frustration.
Slip and slide and see my color fade
Describing a feeling of sliding and losing vibrancy.
Come a time when I can put no more in
Expecting a time when the speaker can't invest emotionally anymore.
I try to do right until my heart breaks
Committing to doing right until heartbreak but without seeking help.
In need of repair, it won't be you I'm calling
Rejecting the idea of seeking support from the troubling person.
Try to take me down
Resisting attempts to bring the speaker down.
I'll be right up
Promising to rise again despite challenges.
'Cause you aim too low
Criticizing the low aspirations of the person causing trouble.
And I've had enough
Expressing a sense of having endured enough negativity.
Always been top rated
