Lyrics
Every once in awhile when the city gets cold
Expressing occasional feelings of coldness in the city.
And I'm standing right there staring at my phone
Reflecting on being present and staring at the phone.
I'm not your slave
Asserting independence, refusing to be controlled.
Trust has lost its way back home, yeah
Loss of trust and its difficulty to return.
And you're a mean little girl who loves to throw, oh no, no, no
Describing someone as mean, enjoying causing distress.
I believe all that you're telling me
Expressing belief in the words spoken by the other person.
I swallow all your words, I do all your deeds, yeah
Compliance and submission to the other person's actions and words.
All I ever wanted was to be your slave
Expressing a desire to be devoted and submissive.
Now that you don't want me I?ll throw your clothes away
Reacting to rejection by discarding the other person's belongings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no
Emotional expression of dismay or regret.
There's dreams around my feet
Imagery of dreams surrounding the speaker.
There's no escaping you
Feeling trapped or unable to escape a situation.
Or the slave you've made of me
Acknowledging being made a slave by the other person.
Lust is worth its weight in gold, yeah
Assigning value to lust, possibly regretting past actions.
Well, maybe that's how I let myself get sold, sold, sold
Suggesting a realization of being sold out, possibly to desires.
You believe in pain and misery
Recognition of the other person's belief in pain and misery.
I swallowed all my pride and every trick up your sleeve, yeah
Having sacrificed pride and fallen victim to the other person's schemes.
All I ever wanted was to be your slave
Reiteration of the desire to be submissive and devoted.
Now that you don't want me I?ll throw your clothes away
Responding to rejection by discarding the other person's belongings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no
Repeating the expression of dismay or regret.
There's dreams around my feet
Repeating the imagery of dreams surrounding the speaker.
There's no escaping you
Reiterating the feeling of being unable to escape the situation.
Or the slave you've made of me
Reaffirming being made a slave by the other person.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no
Repeating the expression of dismay or regret.
You've lost your sanity
Highlighting the loss of sanity in the other person.
Your lies are chasing you
Pointing out that lies are catching up with the other person.
But your mind is blowing me
Describing a conflicted state of mind in the other person.
I wanna be there, tell me how to be there
Expressing a desire to be where the other person is.
I wanna be there, be there, be there, be there where you are?
Repeating the desire to be present where the other person is.
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no
Repeating the expression of dismay or regret.
There's dreams around my feet
Repeating the imagery of dreams surrounding the speaker.
There's no escaping you
Reiterating the feeling of being unable to escape the situation.
Or the slave you've made of me
Reaffirming being made a slave by the other person.
All I ever wanted was to be your slave
Reiteration of the desire to be submissive and devoted.
Now that you don't want me I?ll throw your clothes away
Responding to rejection by discarding the other person's belongings.
