Madhouse Revelations: Love's Surgery Amidst Deceit
Lyrics
Oh, baby
Expressing affection or endearment
Do you believe
Asking if the listener believes in a certain scenario
The men at your feet will take care of all of your needs?
Suggesting that influential men will fulfill all needs
Well, baby
Repeating the term "baby" and questioning comprehension
Can't you see?
Asking if the listener recognizes the singer's suffering
You got me a beggin' and moanin' upon my knees
Describing a state of pleading and desperation
Can't you see?
Reiterating the desperation and suffering
I'm bleeding, I need
Metaphorically expressing emotional pain and need for healing
Surgery
Symbolizing the need for a drastic remedy to overcome past actions
To get rid of all of the shit that you've done
Referring to the consequences of the listener's actions
Now she's walking the street
Depicting a woman walking the streets without concern for consequences
Doesn't care who she meets if he's willing
Describing her willingness to engage with anyone
Take her back to his place
Detailing a scenario where she rejects someone after intimacy
Slam the door in his face, how fulfilling
Expressing the satisfaction derived from rejection
It's said she doesn't know
Highlighting uncertainty about her awareness of the situation
But maybe it's a show
Suggesting a possible act or facade
So call me a liar, a dirty defier
Responding to accusations of dishonesty or defiance
How long can this wait?
Pondering the duration of the current situation
Can't you see?
Repeating the need for healing and addressing consequences
I'm bleeding, I need
Reiterating the metaphorical need for surgical intervention
Surgery
Emphasizing the need to address the consequences of actions
To get rid of all of the shit that you've done
Reflecting on the aftermath of the listener's actions
So wake to see this fantasy
Waking up to the realization that a fantasy has ended
Was just a means to an end
Acknowledging a relationship as merely a means to an end
Never more than a friend
Clarifying that the relationship was never more than friendship
I'm lying here waiting while you're complicating
Expressing impatience and frustration while waiting
This mess that you made
Blaming the listener for creating a complicated situation
Doesn't take half a brain
Asserting that the situation is evident and doesn't require much thought
To see that this never will end
Declaring that the ongoing situation will never conclude
Can't you see what you've done to me?
Repeating the plea to recognize the impact of actions
Thought you could run from me
Expressing surprise at the listener attempting to escape consequences
Never knew I'd be a foe
Realizing the listener has become an adversary
You've been acting so helpless
Accusing the listener of appearing helpless and selfish
You're nothing but selfish
Condemning the listener's lack of consideration for others
And you thought that I wouldn't know
Indicating awareness of the listener's deceitful actions
All the games that you play
Condemning the listener's manipulative games
All my time that you waste
Expressing frustration over wasted time
I said, "Baby, just leave me alone"
Requesting to be left alone
Was in line for the race
Referring to being prepared for a competition but left behind
Now I've seen your true face
Recognizing the true nature of the listener
How you dance with a murder of crows
Metaphorically describing association with a negative influence
