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
