Lyrics
Slap me in the face and tell me I'm lucky
Desire for a reality check, wanting to be reminded of good fortune.
I wanna play nice but the future is bare
Conflict between the desire to be pleasant and the starkness of the future.
This room is so big and the world is so ugly
Feeling overwhelmed by the vastness of the world and its unattractiveness.
I wanna play nice but also pull at your hair
Desire to be amiable but also engage in more intense experiences.
Sucker punch my stomach and tell me you love me
Yearning for affection even if it comes with emotional blows.
I wanna play nice but I'm swimming in doubt
Struggling with the balance between being agreeable and uncertain thoughts.
This room is so big and the world is so ugly
Continued sense of the vast and unattractive world while trying to make sense of it.
As it keeps on spinning I'm still sorting it out
Amidst the world's chaos, still in the process of understanding and adapting.
Slap me in the face and tell me I'm perfect
Desiring affirmation, seeking reassurance of perfection.
I wanna feel nice instead of just feeling sad
Yearning for positive emotions instead of persistent sadness.
The world is so big and it's future is yucky
Commentary on the world's undesirable state and future prospects.
I wanna play nice but you should treat me real bad
Ambivalence between wanting to be pleasant and desiring challenging treatment.
Give it to me sucker c'mon make me go loco
Expressing a willingness to experience intensity, urging for a strong reaction.
Laugh a little harder let's throw rocks in the house
Encouraging more laughter and disruption, embracing chaos.
The world is so big and it's future is yucky
Reiteration of the world's unpleasantness and uncertain future.
As it keeps on spinning I'm still sorting it out
Continued attempt to make sense of the world amid its ongoing chaos.
Slap me in the face get me stuck in this moment
Desire to be trapped in a moment of intensity, a mix of pleasure and pain.
I wanna feel nice and I wanna feel dead
Seeking a balance between positive feelings and a numb state.
The world is so big but I fear I've outgrown it
Acknowledging the vastness of the world but feeling out of place or too mature for it.
So laugh a little harder and tie me to the bed
Embracing intensity through laughter and physical restraint.
