Lyrics

I can't bare to face what's growing in my head

I cannot bear to confront the thoughts or issues growing in my mind

Please, get away from me

Requesting distance from someone, expressing a need for space

Take advantage of what I still guess you do

Acknowledging the exploitation of something that is still uncertain

One day you'll play for me

Anticipating a future where the person will perform or act for the speaker


So I'm saying nothing

Choosing to remain silent or unresponsive

Each day taking that much more

Every day, experiencing an increasing amount of something

As I'm screaming all my pain

Vocally expressing intense emotional suffering or distress

You will be there counting

The person addressed will be present, keeping track or taking account


You just see me as something you throw around

Feeling objectified or used by others

You aren't there for me (there for me)

Expressing a lack of support or presence from someone

Beaten down to the ground, yes it always seems

Consistently being pushed down or defeated, a recurring theme

You take more from me (more from me)

The feeling of having more taken away from oneself


So I'm saying nothing

Continuing the choice to remain silent or unresponsive

Each day taking that much more

Experiencing an increasing amount each day

As I'm screaming all my pain

Vocally expressing pain or suffering intensifies

You will be there counting

The person addressed will still be there, keeping track or taking account


It's funny how it gets started

Reflecting on the ironic or unexpected beginning of something

They get their money grubbing fingers on you

Describing the negative influence of greed or avarice on individuals

They get your money, and the girls, and the fame

Listing the consequences of success, including loss of money, relationships, and privacy

I only do it for the fun and for games

Stating that the speaker engages in activities for enjoyment and amusement


It's funny how it gets started

Repeating the observation about the unexpected start of something

They get their money grubbing fingers on you

Reiterating the negative impact of greed on individuals

They get your money, and the girls, and the fame

Repeating the consequences of success, emphasizing loss

I only do it for the fun, that's my game

Emphasizing that the speaker engages in activities for fun, emphasizing personal enjoyment


So I'm saying nothing

Continuing the choice to remain silent or unresponsive

Each day taking that much more

Experiencing an increasing amount each day, repetition for emphasis

As I'm screaming all my pain

Vocally expressing pain or suffering intensifies, repetition for emphasis

You will be there counting

The person addressed will still be there, keeping track or taking account, repetition for emphasis


So I'm saying nothing

Reiterating the choice to remain silent or unresponsive

Each day taking that much more

Reiterating the experience of an increasing amount each day

As I'm screaming all this pain

Reiterating the vocal expression of pain or suffering intensifying

You will be there

Emphasizing that the person addressed will be there, counting, possibly indicating accountability or judgment

Counting

Summing up the idea of someone counting, reinforcing the theme of accountability
