Lyrics

I can't decide

I am unable to make a decision

And I can't hide

I cannot conceal

They've got my mind

Someone or something has control over my thoughts

It's a waste of time

It's not worth my time


Here comes the knife

A metaphorical knife is approaching

You better just stand back

Warning to keep a distance

I could turn on you so fast

There's a potential for betrayal or harm


It's a hit

Referring to a successful action or event

It's got soul

It possesses emotional depth

Steal the show

To attract attention and be outstanding

With your rock and roll

Achieving success with rock and roll music


With a swing like that

A powerful and impactful move

You better just stand back

Reiterating the need to stay away

I could turn on you so fast

The potential for a sudden change, possibly negative


Just like diamonds in your hand

Comparing a dangerous situation to precious gems

I'll just cut you in the end

A warning that actions may lead to harm


One more step

A threat of harm if someone gets closer

And I'll slit your neck

A graphic warning of potential violence

You'll be used to it

Desensitization to a harmful act

You better just stand back

Repeating the caution to stay away

I could turn on you so fast

Reiterating the ability to turn hostile quickly

I could turn on you so fast

Emphasizing the speed at which the change can occur

I could turn on you so fast

Highlighting the rapid nature of the transformation

Just like diamonds in your hand

Similar to line 19, reinforcing the danger

I could turn on you so fast

Repeating the potential for a quick turn of events

I'll just cut you in the end

Reiterating the consequence of being cut off

I could turn on you so fast

Underlining the quick shift to hostility
