Lyrics
A fish it rots from the head down
A situation deteriorates from the top or leadership.
Self-doubt is a theme
Themes of lack of confidence or uncertainty about oneself.
I mix reality with rhetoric
Blurring the lines between reality and persuasive language.
Artefacts and a dream
Reference to preserved remains of the past and aspirations.
It’s a dangerous game we play
Engaging in a risky or perilous activity.
Digging in the sand
Engaged in a futile or unproductive task.
I’m so sick of it
Expressing frustration or weariness.
I hope you understand
Desire for the listener to comprehend the speaker's feelings.
I’m not here to trip you up
Assurance that the speaker doesn't intend to obstruct or deceive.
I won’t slow you down
Commitment not to be a hindrance or obstacle.
I’ve been hiding in plain sight
Being present but unnoticed or overlooked.
Waiting for you to change your mind
Awaiting a change of opinion from the listener.
Sounds like gun shots fading out
Describing a sound resembling gunshots fading away.
There’s nothing in between
Emphasizing an absence of intermediaries or alternatives.
Except the lights flashing
Except for attention-grabbing moments or distractions.
Artefacts and a dream
Reiteration of remnants from the past and aspirations.
If everything’s the same you say
Questioning if everything remains unchanged as claimed.
Give yourself a hand
Sarcastically suggesting self-applause for consistency.
I’m so sick of it
Reiteration of frustration or weariness.
I hope you understand
Reiterating the desire for understanding from the listener.
I’m not here to trip you up
Reassurance of not intending to cause trouble or deception.
I won’t slow you down
Reaffirmation not to be a hindrance or obstruction.
I’ve been hiding in plain sight
Reiteration of being present but unnoticed or overlooked.
Waiting for you to change your mind
Repeating the anticipation of a change in the listener's perspective.
