Lyrics
Are these sensible shoes on my feet
Questioning the practicality or appropriateness of the shoes she's wearing.
I wear my shades so our eyes don't meet
Using sunglasses to avoid making eye contact with someone.
I'm scared every fuckin' day
Expressing fear and anxiety on a daily basis.
I wear my headphones so i can't hear what you say
Using headphones to block out unwanted comments or opinions from others.
Can i run
Pondering the possibility of escaping or running away.
Switch to paranoid from having fun
Shifting from a carefree attitude to a state of paranoia.
Will he use his hands, knife, or a gun
Concern about potential violence, questioning the aggressor's choice of weapon.
Knuckles are white, wrapped around my mace
Tightening grip on self-defense (mace), reflecting a defensive posture.
Comes from living in a terrorist state
Attributing fear and anxiety to living in a politically unstable or threatening environment.
Can i run
Revisiting the theme of escaping or running away.
When he's following me
Feeling pursued and threatened by an unknown person.
He's not my brother, he's my enemy
Rejecting a familial connection, perceiving the pursuer as an enemy.
Is he behind the door or in back of the tree
Uncertainty about the location of the pursuer, expressing heightened fear.
Is he under the bed, is he in the back street
Exploring various potential hiding spots of the pursuer, emphasizing paranoia.
Can i run
Questioning the feasibility of escaping or running away.
