Lyrics
Don't count on me
Expressing a lack of reliability or dependency.
I engineer on every move we make from here.
Assuming control and influence over every action from this point forward.
I'll take the lead
Taking the initiative.
you take the pain
Assigning the burden of suffering or hardship to the other person.
You see I engineer
Stating the role of orchestrating or designing events.
This gain!
Referring to a positive outcome resulting from the speaker's manipulation.
Don't count on me
Reiteration of unreliability or non-dependability.
I engineer on every move we make from here.
Continuing the theme of control and influence over actions.
I'll take the lead
Repeating the idea of taking charge and guiding the situation.
you take the pain
Reiterating the assignment of pain or difficulty to the other person.
You see
Emphasizing the role of the speaker in shaping events.
I engineer
Reaffirming the speaker's control and influence for positive outcomes.
This gain!
Highlighting the positive result achieved through manipulation.
Who do you think you fool when you talk about us?
Questioning the sincerity or honesty of the other person when discussing the relationship.
Why do you walk on glass when you know it cuts?
Challenging the other person's decision to engage in potentially harmful behavior.
There must be a reason why you put my life in overdrive.
Posing a question about the motivation behind intensifying the speaker's life.
I'll leave it all behind in a cloud of dust,
Expressing a willingness to leave everything behind quickly.
There's an even chance I'll shine or rust.
Acknowledging the uncertain outcome of future events.
On my own I've got the time...
Claiming personal freedom and availability of time.
There's a light ahead at the end of the line.
Anticipating a positive outcome or opportunity in the future.
Seeing you leaves me no doubt,
Asserting confidence in taking control of the situation.
I'll take the wheel
Assuming responsibility and control by taking the wheel.
From here on out.
Deciding to lead from this point onward.
Don't count on me
Continuing the theme of control and influence over actions.
I engineer on every move we make from here.
Repeating the idea of taking charge and guiding the situation.
I'll take the lead
Reiterating the assignment of pain or difficulty to the other person.
You take the pain
Emphasizing the role of the speaker in shaping events.
