Absentee
Breaking Free: Embracing Independence in Little Menace's 'Absentee'
Lyrics
Since the very beginning
Expressing the duration of a problematic situation from the start.
I put up with your shit
Enduring difficulties or challenges imposed by someone.
No one to help me realize
Feeling isolated, lacking guidance to escape the situation.
How to get me out of it
Seeking a way out of the difficult circumstances.
Too long I let you dictate
Tolerating control and influence for an extended period.
It's time to face the lie
Deciding to confront or acknowledge a falsehood.
You love me, I love you
Highlighting a paradoxical relationship of love with time wastage.
And all you do is waste my time
Expressing frustration with unproductive actions.
I've known since I broke free
Realization of personal worthiness after breaking free.
You're worthless, just like me
Self-deprecating comparison, deeming oneself as worthless.
Who cares what I could be
Indifference to potential achievements, suggesting resignation.
I'd rather turn into a fucking absentee
Choosing to be absent or detached from the situation.
I'll disappear if I want to
Asserting the right to disappear without concern for confusion.
Don't care if you're confused
Indifferent to others' reactions while maintaining honesty.
At least I'm honest with myself
Emphasizing self-awareness in contrast to someone else.
Unlike someone like you
Criticizing someone's lack of self-honesty or awareness.
Too long I let you guilt me
Acknowledging past guilt but deciding to resist it now.
This time I'll stand my ground
Determining to stand firm and not succumb to guilt.
I'll cut the cord, just like before
Metaphorically cutting ties with a negative influence.
You better stand the fuck down
Issuing a strong directive for the other person to step back.
I've known since I broke free
Reiteration of self-worth after breaking free from influence.
You're worthless, just like me
Continuation of self-deprecating comparison.
Who knows what I could be
Uncertainty about potential achievements in the future.
I'd rather turn into a fucking absentee
Reiterating the choice to be absent from the situation.
I've known since I broke free
Confirmation of recognizing personal worthiness post-liberation.
You're worthless, just like me
Restating the self-deprecating comparison.
Who cares what I could be
Reiteration of indifference towards potential achievements.
Who cares what I could be
Emphasizing the uncertainty of future possibilities.
I've known since I broke free
Reaffirmation of self-worth after breaking free.
You're worthless, just like me
Continuation of the self-deprecating comparison.
Who knows what I could be
Uncertainty about future potential, questioning what could be.
I'd rather turn into a fucking absentee
Reiterating the choice to become absent from the situation.
