EFFIGY
Unveiling the Strange Symphony: Roman James' Effigy
Lyrics
People always asking Roman why are you so strange?
People frequently question Roman about his unusual behavior.
Maybe you should fix your head and not be so deranged
Suggesting that Roman should address mental health concerns and not be so disturbed.
I just think it's funny 'cause they're always playing games
Roman finds it amusing that others engage in games or deceptive behaviors.
Don't feel like partaking means you take all of the blame
Not participating doesn't mean taking all the blame; there's a choice in involvement.
Oo yeah-ah
Expressing emotions or agreement with "Oo yeah-ah."
When will you ever see?
Rhetorical question about when others will understand Roman's perspective.
Oo yeah-ah
Reiteration of the desire for others to recognize Roman as their effigy.
That I'm your effigy?
Roman metaphorically represents an effigy, perhaps feeling used or manipulated.
Oh you know I really hate to be so mean
Expressing reluctance in being mean, but acknowledging the role as an effigy.
But I'm your effigy
Reiterating that Roman serves as an effigy, now with an added element of apathy.
Laced with apathy
Describing the effigy as infused with apathy, indicating emotional detachment.
Light me up to set you free
Suggesting that lighting the effigy represents freeing others through sacrifice.
No I won't resort to violence when you leave me at the tone
Commitment to non-violence despite feeling ignored or dismissed.
And I'll keep the voices quiet when I see him on your phone
Promising to silence inner turmoil when observing someone else in communication.
I'll still hold you when you're crying but deep down I've always known
Offering emotional support while acknowledging an underlying awareness of reality.
That stitches get cut loose once they've helped other people grow
A metaphorical reflection on the temporary nature of assistance, knowing it will end.
Oo yeah-ah
Reiteration of the desire for recognition as an effigy with emotional undertones.
When will you ever see?
Rhetorical questioning about when others will comprehend Roman's role.
Ooo yeah-ah
Repeating the desire to be acknowledged as an effigy with emotional emphasis.
That I'm your effigy?
Reiterating the metaphorical representation of Roman as an effigy for others.
Oh you know I really hate to be so mean
Expressing discomfort in being mean while maintaining the effigy role.
But I'm your effigy
Restating Roman's role as an effigy, now emphasizing the infusion of apathy.
Laced with apathy
Describing the effigy as imbued with apathy, highlighting emotional detachment.
Light me up to set you free
Suggesting that the effigy, represented by Roman, serves to liberate others.
