The Way of Things
Embracing the Cruel Dance of Life with Laureli Amadeus
Lyrics
There's a part of me that loves to be cruel
Expressing a part of the singer that enjoys being cruel or harsh.
You can call me a freak but I'll just say I'm old school
Embracing being unconventional, suggesting resistance to societal norms.
And I've been feeling so petty with you kicking my heels
Feeling resentful, possibly due to mistreatment, and expressing it.
It ain't a walk in the park, 'n you don't know how I feel
Describing a challenging situation, emphasizing the difficulty of understanding their feelings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm, possibly reflecting internal turmoil.
Don't you come around, 'less I want you 'round, nah
Setting boundaries, indicating that the person should stay away unless explicitly wanted.
What we said's gonna be spinning in my head
References to lingering thoughts or unresolved issues from a past conversation.
I may not forgive you but the only never I'ma say
Expressing difficulty in forgiving but clarifying no desire for harm or death.
Is that I'll never want you dead, nah I'll never want you dead
Reiteration of not wishing harm, emphasizing a lack of desire for the person's death.
Dead
Repetition of "dead" for emphasis, possibly underlining the seriousness of their emotions.
Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
Repetition of the warning not to come around, emphasizing the need for distance.
Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
-Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
-No, no, no
-Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
-Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
-Don't you come 'round 'round 'round 'round 'round
-No, no, no
-I'm lashing out hard, yeah
Describing intense emotional reactions and asking if the other person remembers causing pain.
And I'm bleeding from some scars yeah
-You remember where they are?
-Do you remember where they are?
Repetition of questioning whether the person remembers causing harm.
Yeah that's the way of things
Stating that such situations are a part of life, accepting the ups and downs.
Don't you come running please
Warning against approaching and expressing the need for personal reflection.
I need my time to think
-Whether I want you in with, in with me
Contemplating whether to involve the person in personal matters.
'Cause there's better things
Asserting that there are better things than the current situation, expressing confidence.
Than you and me
-I'm sure of it
-It might be time I quit, yeah, yeah
Considering the possibility of ending the relationship or situation.
