Lyrics
So many people live in my town
Observation about the number of people in the town.
And mind to my business but none of their own
People are nosy and meddlesome, focusing on others' affairs rather than their own.
They're all so happy now that I've done wrong
Others derive happiness from the singer's mistakes or wrongdoings.
I'm surprised they don't come up and thank me
The singer is surprised that people don't openly express gratitude for their mistakes.
So if you want moral advice
Suggesting to keep personal morals hidden.
I suggest you just tuck it all away
Encouraging to conceal personal moral advice.
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Expresses a tendency or desire to sever relationships or connections.
Not unlike my mood to dig ditches
Comparing the desire to burn bridges to the inclination to dig ditches, suggesting a similar inclination towards both.
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
Warning against crossing the singer on any day.
Don't make mistakes or be human
Advising against making mistakes or showing human fallibility due to how others perceive and judge.
They savor your every false move
Others relish and pay close attention to any errors or missteps.
And the fear that they hide limbs that'll break
People fear exposure to truth that may lead to their vulnerability or harm.
If ever confronted with truth
Fear of confrontation with reality or truth by those who hide their vulnerabilities.
So if you want moral advice
Reiterating the advice to keep personal morals concealed.
I suggest you just tuck it all away
Encouragement to hide personal moral guidance.
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Reiteration of the inclination to sever connections or relationships.
Not unlike my mood to dig ditches
Comparing the desire to burn bridges to the inclination to dig ditches, suggesting a similar inclination towards both.
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
Warning against crossing the singer on any day.
From the well of their hearts spring the poison
People's emotions or opinions are toxic and damaging.
That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision
Toxicity mixed with suspicion and reckless judgment.
And something they read on a church toilet stall
Reference to baseless or unreliable information influencing people's opinions about the singer's life.
They think that their lives are much better than mine
Belief held by others that their lives are superior to the singer's.
On the soapbox and ladders stand tall
People vocally express their perceived superiority.
So if you want moral advice
Advice to hide personal morals from others' scrutiny.
I suggest you just tuck it all away
Encouragement to conceal personal moral guidance.
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Reiteration of the inclination to sever connections or relationships.
My mood to dig ditches
Reiterating the inclination towards both burning bridges and digging ditches.
Don't cross me on neither a day
Warning against crossing the singer on any day.
I see those arrows beside me
Sensing threats or negative influences nearby.
I hear you right behind me
Feeling someone's presence close by.
Don't cross me on neither a day
Reiteration of the warning against crossing the singer.
