I Shut Off
Unveiling Shadows: Ra Ra Riot's Echoes of Desolation
Lyrics
Running around here
Feeling disoriented, moving around aimlessly
I don't know why
Uncertain about the reason for this movement
You're running around alone
Observing someone else also in a state of aimless motion
I know
Understanding
With my friends
Being with friends
Who needs one more
Questioning the necessity of adding more friends to the group
With white blood?
Referencing a desire for purity or innocence
I do
Expressing a personal desire for purity or innocence
I do
-I do oh oh oh
Reiterating a personal desire for purity or innocence
I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh
-Oh, I have
Indicating an attempt to control
Tried to command
Trying to assert authority or influence
But you fought back
Encountering resistance or opposition
Oh what for?
Questioning the purpose or reason behind the struggle
Oh oh
Expressing a query or uncertainty
Who wants
Questioning the necessity of human affection
A human love?
Labeling romantic love as potentially dangerous
A death trap?
Referring to a risky or perilous situation
A suicide club?
Suggesting involvement in a self-destructive environment
I do
Expressing personal acceptance or attraction to this risky situation
I do
-I do oh oh oh
Reiterating personal acceptance or attraction to risk
I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh
-Oh, I have
Reflecting on a past attempt to control
I do oh oh oh
Continued affirmation of embracing risk or danger
I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh oh
-I do oh oh
-I shut off
Declaring a shutdown or disengagement from the situation or emotions
I shut off
-I shut off
-I shut off, whoa oh whoa
