Mean Streak
Embracing the Dark: Unveiling the Mean Streak Within
Lyrics
Don't want to hear you on my radio
Expressing a desire not to hear the person on the radio.
In fact I don't want to hear your voice ever again
Strongly stating the wish to never hear the person's voice again.
I'm not receiving you through my stereo
Indicating a lack of reception or connection through the stereo.
And I don't want to see
Rejecting the idea of seeing the person.
Your stupid face in no magazines
Rejecting the person's presence in magazines, expressing disdain.
It ain't easy man and I'm not proud
Admitting difficulty in handling the situation, with a lack of pride.
But it's not beneath me to appreciate
Recognizing and acknowledging a mean streak within oneself.
The mean streak that's inside me when it's
Highlighting the existence of a mean streak inside, suggesting a complex emotion.
So hard to miss you the way that I do
Expressing the difficulty in missing the person.
I just want to kiss you
Desiring physical closeness and intimacy, despite the negative feelings.
Do you miss me?
Raising a question about whether the person misses the speaker.
Do you miss me too?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the longing for reciprocation.
Don't want to see you, don't want to be seen
Reiterating the aversion to seeing or being seen by the person.
So when you come around
Reacting negatively to the person's presence and actions.
With your sparkly new girl
Referencing the person's new romantic interest.
I duck and weave just like I'm sugar shane
Using a metaphor of dodging and evading, possibly to avoid emotional entanglement.
Then I trip and fall and disappear
Describing a fall or setback, suggesting the challenges of avoiding the person.
Right off of this great big world
Expressing a desire to disappear from the world due to difficulties.
And though I try to keep it to myself
Acknowledging the struggle of keeping emotions hidden.
It's not beneath me to appreciate
Reaffirming the recognition and appreciation of the internal mean streak.
The mean streak that's inside me
Highlighting the internal struggle and conflict, acknowledging the mean streak.
When it's so hard to miss you
Reiterating the difficulty in missing the person, emphasizing the internal conflict.
