Lyrics
Are you numb to me?
Questioning if there's a lack of emotional response
Have you grown to be?
Asking if there's been personal growth or change
Tolerance has built
Wondering if tolerance has been established
Is my touch too weak?
Concern about a perceived lack of impact or strength in touch
Are you through with me?
Questioning if there's nothing new or exciting about the persona
Nothing new with me?
Suggesting a sense of stagnation or lack of change
Tired of doing me?
Asking if there's exhaustion from dealing with the persona
Not enough a freak?
Feeling inadequate or not meeting expected standards
Are you telling me?
Questioning if something is being communicated indirectly
Without telling me?
Asking if a message is being conveyed without words
That soon you will be
Suggesting an impending separation or dismissal
Dispelling me
Implying a rejection or expulsion
Are you trying to see?
Questioning if there's an attempt to understand
Let me down easy
Requesting gentleness in disappointment
No more bruising me
Refusing further emotional harm
F**king using me
Feeling used in a sexual or manipulative way
Are you draining me?
Questioning if someone is draining energy or vitality
Are you staining me?
Sensing a permanent mark or impact
Using up my soul
Feeling depleted emotionally or spiritually
And detaining me
Feeling restrained or held back
Are you trying me?
Questioning someone's intentions or motives
Thought of buying me?
Wondering if someone is trying to possess or control
Well I'm not that cheap
Asserting personal value and refusing to be undervalued
And I'm never free
Rejecting being taken advantage of or exploited
Are you shaping me?
Questioning if someone is influencing or altering
Painting, taping me?
Suspecting someone is shaping or manipulating
Mold me into your
Being molded or altered according to someone else's plans
Invest, wait and see
Being urged to wait and see the transformation
Are you sucking me?
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted
Mental f**king me?
Feeling mentally manipulated or toyed with
Set me up to fall
Feeling set up for failure or disappointment
And then chucking me
Being discarded after a fall or failure
Chorus:
Asserting resilience despite adversities
(Knock you down)
-What I am you cannot hope to be
-(Knock you down)
-Never thought you'd fall so easily
-(Knock you down)
-What you are will never frighten me
-(Knock you down)
-Get back up and that is where I'll be
-Seen it before, should have seen it, seen it coming
Reflecting on past experiences and the pain of repeated patterns
Been it before, should have seen it, over-run it
-Had it before, seen it slip away again
-And now it stings like the needle on my skin
-Seen it before, should have felt it, felt it slipping
-Been it before, should have seen it, through the tripping
-Had it before, but again I didn't duck
-To late to cry, now I don't give a f**k
-Chorus
Reiteration of resilience and determination to persist
