Lyrics
Since I was a kid I've seen greedy people
Reflecting on observing greedy individuals since childhood.
Just grabbing all they could take
Describing the behavior of those seizing everything within reach.
I promised myself I'd never become like them
Making a personal vow to avoid becoming like the greedy people.
I can feel they're closing up on me, closer than I ever though
Sensing the encroachment of these individuals, closer than expected.
How could I have beeen so dumb, didn't I see it, feel it
Expressing surprise and realization about not noticing their presence through various senses.
Smell it, taste it
Emphasizing the failure to detect the influence of these individuals through sensory perception.
It's only them coming from all directions
Highlighting the overwhelming presence of these individuals from various angles.
Walking all over me again and again
Feeling repeatedly dominated and mistreated by them.
They're feeding of your kindness, squeezing life right out of you
Exploiting your kindness, draining your vitality.
Like a vampire sucks you dry, you cannot run and hide
Comparing their draining effect to that of a vampire, leaving one unable to escape.
If you give them a helping hand, they will take your whole life
Warning that aiding these individuals could lead to them taking everything without hesitation.
Without thinking twice, the only thing they want is
Stating their insatiable desire for more, disregarding consequences.
More and more and more
Emphasizing their constant pursuit of increasing their possessions.
Now I got a parasite into my life
Noticing the intrusion of a parasitic person into one's life.
I didn't see it coming 'til it almost broke me down
Realizing the harm caused by this person when it's almost too late.
It's only them, you don't give - you're a taker
Labeling those who take without giving back as the embodiment of 'them'.
It's a matter of the size of your wallet
Linking importance to one's wealth and income in their eyes.
And the money that you're making
Connecting their perspective to materialistic gain and financial status.
It's only them and nothing is sacred
Asserting their disregard for anything considered sacred or valuable.
They don't care if you brake your neck
Indicating their lack of concern even if you suffer severe consequences.
As long as they'll make it
As long as they achieve their goals, they don't care about your well-being.
It's only them coming from all directions walking all over me
Reiterating their overwhelming presence and domination over one's life.
Again and again
Highlighting the continuous cycle of being mistreated by 'them'.
A tattoo burned on my skin, a disease without a cure
Describing the lasting impact of their influence like a permanent mark or affliction.
Like a blind man running in circles on a dead end street
Comparing the situation to a hopeless scenario of aimless movement.
Now I got a parasite into my life
Reiterating the invasion of a parasitic person into one's life.
I didn't see it coming 'til it almost broke me down
Realizing the harm caused by this person when it's almost too late (repeated line).
It's only them, you don't give you're a taker
Reiterating the categorization of those who take without giving back as 'them'.
It's a matter of the size of your wallet
Reinforcing the significance of wealth and income in their perspective (repeated line).
And the money that you're making
Emphasizing their materialistic and profit-driven mentality (repeated line).
It's only them and nothing is sacred
Stressing their disregard for anything considered valuable or significant (repeated line).
They don't care if you brake your neck
Indicating their lack of concern for your well-being even in dangerous situations (repeated line).
As long as they'll make it
As long as they achieve their objectives, they disregard the harm caused to others (repeated line).
Ah, it's only them
Reaffirming the pervasive nature of 'them' in various aspects of life.
Ah, it's only them
Emphasizing again the dominance and influence of 'them'.
