In a Mood
Changing Tides: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Krooked Kings' 'In a Mood'
Lyrics
Always told me they’d be fake
People always warned me that others would be insincere or deceptive
C’mon for god’s sake
Expressing frustration, urging someone to act or make a decision
‘Bout time I’m thrown a fucking bone
Feeling deserving of some positive treatment or recognition
Always told me they’re liars
Reiteration of the warning about the dishonesty of certain individuals
Don’t stoke their fires
Advising against fueling or encouraging their deceptive behavior
Feel more welcome there than when I’m at home
Feeling more accepted or comfortable in external environments than at home
Showed up to my first show
Recalling the experience of attending the first music performance
Left after one song
Leaving the event abruptly after only one song
Then hit me up when you’re drunk and alone
Receiving contact from someone only when they are intoxicated and lonely
Now the band has some traction
Noting the band's growing popularity or recognition
You want the action
Desire for involvement in the exciting or active aspects of the band's success
Won’t stop hitting me up on my phone
Continuous attempts to communicate via phone despite prior actions
Cause I’ve been changing
Acknowledging personal transformation
And it seems you’re changing too
Observing changes in others, possibly in response to personal growth
But I can’t take it
Expressing inability to tolerate certain changes or uncertainties
Is it real or you’re in a mood?
Questioning the authenticity of others' behaviors, pondering if it's genuine or temporary
Said we’re just means to their ends
Asserting that they are merely tools for others' selfish purposes
Guess what I made fast friends
Highlighting the irony of forming close connections with those warned against
Now you’re scrambling for my trust
Noting the scramble or desperation for trust after previous warnings
Had me caught in your fetters
Describing a previous state of being captivated or controlled by someone
Now since the weather
Referencing a change in circumstances or dynamics, possibly due to external factors
The chain on my neck has begun to rust
Symbolizing a deterioration or neglect of a once-binding connection
Cause I’ve been changing
Reiterating personal transformation and its ongoing nature
And it seems you’re changing too
Observing parallel changes in others, possibly causing conflict or unease
But I can’t take it
Expressing difficulty in accepting or coping with the observed changes
Is it real or you’re in a mood?
Pondering the authenticity of observed behaviors, questioning if they are genuine or influenced by a temporary emotional state
