You Gotta Be Kidding Me
Cannibal of Calculated Success: Nïckë Bäckmán's Revelatory Anthem
Lyrics
Attack of successions, stuff like that's what you're living for
Living for successions and similar things, suggesting a focus on achievement.
You aim, shot and miss and then you listen not at all of course
Failing after an attempt, ignoring advice or feedback.
You're smoked lika a brisket and you wish me nothing but the worst
Feeling defeated and wishing ill on the speaker.
So calculated, insidious but you aint the first, no, no
Being calculated and insidious but not the first to be so.
Ah ah, look over you shoulder
Warning to be cautious, possibly about betrayal or harm.
Ah ah, you better watch out
Emphasizing the need to be alert and careful.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Expressing disbelief or irritation at mistreatment, possibly metaphorical.
So why do you trip on me, sit on me, treat me like an animal
Questioning why the mistreatment is happening, feeling dehumanized.
Stop, look what you've done, can't you see what's going on
Reflection on the consequences of the actions taken.
Stop, just stop for a while, listen to the sound of joy
Suggesting a need to pause and appreciate positive things.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Reiterating disbelief or irritation at mistreatment.
So, what do you make of it, fake of it, speeding like a cannonball
Questioning the authenticity of a situation and fast-paced actions.
Ah ah, keep an eye open
Advising vigilance and awareness.
Center of attention when you mention that you're comin' in hot
Being the center of attention when entering a situation confidently.
A swing and a miss when you're getting your kicks and you're pulling you tricks, hahaha
Mocking failure when attempting something risky or entertaining.
Your affiliation, discrimination, 'cause you're second to none
Addressing discrimination and asserting individual importance.
Throw me under the bus, but the bus, uh, was already gone
Being betrayed, but the betrayal is inconsequential.
Ah ah, gotta keep a line open
Stressing the need for open communication.
Ah ah, we got chaos on line one
Highlighting chaos or disorder in communication.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Expressing disbelief or irritation at mistreatment, repeating the theme.
So why do you trip on me, sit on me, treat me like an animal
Questioning the degrading treatment and feeling like an animal.
Stop, look what you've done, can't you see what's going on
Reflecting on the negative consequences of actions taken.
Stop, just stop for a while, listen to the sound of joy
Encouraging a pause to appreciate positive things, repeated theme.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Expressing disbelief or irritation at mistreatment, repeated theme.
So, what do you make of it, fake of it, speeding like a cannonball
Questioning the authenticity of a situation and fast-paced actions, repeated theme.
Ah, ah, stay away from the dark
Warning to stay away from negative influences or situations.
Ah, ah
Reiteration of the warning.
Karma, karma, you know what it is
Emphasizing the concept of karma, the consequences of one's actions.
Karma sure is (oh yeah)
Affirming the inevitability of karma.
Karma, karma get goin' on this soul
Encouraging the manifestation of positive karma in one's life.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Expressing disbelief or irritation at mistreatment, repeated theme.
So why do you trip on me, sit on me, treat me like an animal
Questioning the degrading treatment and feeling like an animal, repeated theme.
Stop, look what you've done, can't you see what's going on
Reflecting on the negative consequences of actions taken, repeated theme.
Stop, just stop for a while, listen to the sound of joy
Encouraging a pause to appreciate positive things, repeated theme.
You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal
Expressing disbelief or irritation at mistreatment, repeated theme.
So, what do you make of it, fake of it, speeding like a cannonball
Questioning the authenticity of a situation and fast-paced actions, repeated theme.
Ah, ah, you thought it was over
Expressing surprise or disbelief that the situation is not over.
Ah, You gotta be kidding me, hitting me with, eating me like a cannibal, no
Reiterating the theme of disbelief or irritation at mistreatment.
