Lyrics
This time I'm licking the plate clean...
The speaker is thoroughly cleaning the plate, possibly metaphorically indicating completion or satisfaction.
Hit the bullseye on an easy target
Achieving success effortlessly or accurately.
Weren't we just getting somewhere?
Expressing confusion or frustration about the lack of progress despite efforts.
It makes no difference
Implying a lack of significance or consequence in a situation.
Sit right on top of all the games we used to play
Sitting above past activities or manipulations without getting involved.
Not gonna make a scene
Choosing not to create a disturbance or cause a commotion.
I'll lick that plate
Reiterating the act of thoroughly cleaning the plate, potentially as a metaphor for completion.
Mother, you said to me
Addressing the speaker's mother.
“Don't make me fall apart
Warning against actions that might lead the mother to emotional distress.
If you make me fall apart it's your fault”
Attributing potential emotional breakdown of the mother to the speaker's actions.
Mother, you said to me
Repeatedly addressing the speaker's mother.
“Don't make me fall apart
Reiterating the warning against actions leading to the mother's emotional breakdown.
If you make me fall apart it's your fault”
Reinforcing the attribution of responsibility for the mother's emotional breakdown to the speaker.
Better now, but better when?
Questioning the timing of feeling improved and contemplating if it could be better.
Doesn't feel like it ends
Suggesting a continuous or cyclic nature of a situation, lacking resolution.
You be the dog
Metaphorical roles assigned; the speaker being submissive and the other party controlling.
I'm the dirty dishes
Symbolizing being treated poorly or used by another.
Take it all away against my wishes
Resenting actions taken against personal desires.
It's your fault
Blaming the other party for the circumstances.
Take the blame
Encouraging the other party to take responsibility for their actions.
Don't you make a scene
Advising against creating a disturbance or causing trouble.
Get that plate clean!
Repeating the act of thoroughly cleaning the plate, akin to completing a task or situation.
Just like mother woulda told me
Recalling advice or instructions received from the mother.
Better now, but better when?
Repeating the questioning of the timing of feeling better, emphasizing the lack of closure or resolution.
Doesn't feel like it ends
-Better now, but better when?
-Doesn't feel like it ends
-Better now, but better when?
-Doesn't feel like it ends
-Better now, but better when?
-Doesn't feel like it ends
