Lyrics
He's nothing like you
Expressing differences between "he" and the listener, emphasizing dissimilarity.
Sometimes he seems a little strange
Describing occasional odd behavior in "him."
And he's done bad things too
Acknowledging that "he" has committed wrongful acts.
The kind of things you couldn't think of
Highlighting the severity of "his" actions, beyond the listener's imagination.
He's born to abuse the violence excites him
Stating that violence is inherent in "him," and it is a source of excitement.
He's wired that way
Implying a predisposition or innate quality that causes "him" to be wired for violence.
Sometimes you get ahead of it
Describing the fluctuating experience of dealing with "him," alternating between control and being immersed in turmoil.
And sometimes you're in the thick of
Expressing the variability of facing "his" anger and pain.
All his anger and pain i've seen such rage
Portraying intense emotions, particularly rage, that have affected the speaker.
It's embraced me
Describing a close encounter with "his" rage, suggesting an intimate connection with the source of anger.
Then squeezed all the blood from my brain
Depicting the impact of intense emotions, metaphorically draining the speaker of vitality.
It kills me the instant I feel it begin
Expressing the instantaneous and destructive nature of the emotional turmoil experienced.
And like a doll I stand lifeless
Comparing the speaker to a lifeless doll, highlighting the passive acceptance of the emotional onslaught.
And let it pour in
Describing the surrender to intense emotions, allowing them to take control.
And I say, "Stop!" over and over
Repeatedly urging to stop the cycle of emotional turmoil.
Over and over till it all fades
Expressing the desire for an end to the repetitive emotional struggles.
I'm not like you
Emphasizing the speaker's differences from the listener, asserting individuality.
I've learned to teeter on the edge
Conveying the speaker's ability to navigate challenging situations without succumbing to them.
And I fall down and bruise

And make the climb back to the edge

Like I've never been blue i take it
Expressing that despite challenges, the speaker hasn't been overwhelmed by sadness.
I've made it i'm wired that way

I never seem to get ahead of it

All of his sorrow and blame

I could never save you

Just finally leave who i love till the end
