Lyrics
Was I more pretty
Reflecting on whether physical appearance mattered more in the past.
When I let you hit me
Recalling a time of vulnerability or submission.
Down, down, down
Emphasizing a decline or negative state, possibly emotional.
I was complacent
Expressing a sense of contentment that may have been deceptive.
Used me as your Placemat
Feeling used or taken advantage of in a relationship.
I don't care how your parents raised you
Disregarding the influence of upbringing on someone's behavior.
Your jealousy shines through clear as day
Pointing out evident jealousy in the other person.
You say that you hate me
Acknowledging verbal dislike from the other person.
But I know you're waiting
Recognizing the anticipation of an event or change.
For something to push me again
Suspecting that the other person desires a negative outcome for the speaker.
You say you're an angel
Challenging the claim of the other person being angelic.
But how long till you fall
Questioning the sustainability of the other person's positive facade.
Will he try to catch you
Contemplating whether someone will support the other person in times of trouble.
Or will you be alone with it all
Predicting potential isolation for the other person in difficult situations.
I don't care how your parents raised you
Reiterating the disregard for the influence of upbringing on behavior.
It just makes me wanna hit you more
Expressing a counterintuitive desire to react aggressively to the other person's background.
I won't give that grace
Refusing to offer forgiveness or kindness.
I'll just close the doors in your face
Choosing to cut ties abruptly and decisively.
Say you're an angel
Repeating skepticism about the other person's angelic nature.
You say you're an angel
Reaffirming doubt regarding the other person's positive image.
Hologram halo
Labeling the other person's purported goodness as artificial or insincere.
We all know you're fake
Asserting the falseness of the other person's claimed angelic status.
So fucking fake
Emphasizing the strong and explicit disbelief in the other person's authenticity.
I don't care how your parents raised you
Reiterating the disregard for the influence of upbringing on behavior.
They'll all see through
Predicting that others will eventually see through the false image.
Use me as a mirror
Encouraging the other person to introspect using the speaker as a metaphorical mirror.
Project all your issues
Highlighting the tendency to project personal issues onto others.
You'll lose
Predicting eventual defeat or failure for the other person.
