Lyrics
You better cut your losses, dim the flame
You should minimize your losses and reduce the intensity of a situation.
You've got no benefit to gain
There's no advantage or profit for you in this situation.
You played it off like I'm not thinking straight
You pretended as if I am not thinking clearly or logically.
Yeah, you should know just what's at stake
Be aware of the risks involved; understand the consequences.
See the door that I haven't left open
There is an opportunity or possibility (door) that I haven't given up on.
Showing off, but I only see broken
You may be flaunting success, but I only see shattered or damaged things.
Your precious metals they don't hold any weight, dear
Your valuable possessions or achievements don't have significance, my dear.
Plucking those petals they won't tell you the things that you wanna hear
Engaging in trivial or superficial actions won't provide the answers you desire.
Gear up
Prepare yourself for a challenge or difficult situation.
Get outta here
Leave this place or situation.
You gotta turn it off and take the blame
Take responsibility and admit fault; stop avoiding it.
This time your arrow's off its aim
Your plan or aim is off course this time.
You call it what it is, it's all the same
Be honest about the situation; it's all the same in essence.
Rose is sweet, but you're a snake
While roses are typically sweet, you are deceptive or untrustworthy like a snake.
See the door that I haven't left open
Similar to line 6, reiterating the presence of an opportunity I haven't given up on.
Showing off, but I only see broken
Your display of success is overshadowed by brokenness or failure.
Your precious metals they don't hold any weight, dear
Your valuable possessions or achievements still lack significance.
Plucking those petals they won't tell you the things that you wanna hear
Engaging in superficial actions won't provide the desired reassurances or answers.
Gear up
Prepare yourself for a challenge or difficult situation (reiteration of line 11).
Get outta here
Leave this place or situation (reiteration of line 12).
