Lyrics

Here's an open-ended threat, subject to interpretation

Expressing a vague and undefined threat, open to interpretation.

But I don't wanna fight just yet, I wanted to see what would happen

Not eager to engage in a conflict yet, curious to observe the outcome.

And maybe I don't know my place, still thinking like a child

Uncertain about one's position, still approaching situations with a childlike mindset.

Only trying to shake this shadow, squinting through a broken window

Attempting to break free from a metaphorical shadow, struggling through challenges.

Know who deserves it, who got there first

Reflecting on who truly deserves something and who achieved it first.

Who lied about it and made things worse

Considering those who lied and worsened situations with falsehoods.

See, it don't matter I've only begun to confuse you

Regardless of understanding, in the process of causing confusion.

It's what I do

Stating that causing confusion is a characteristic behavior.

Here's an open-ended threat to tip the balance we've been riding

Presenting another open-ended threat to disrupt the current equilibrium.

With all this talk of honesty, I look and see who's really hiding

Observing honesty discussions and identifying those who are hiding the truth.

Know who deserves it, who got there first

Reiterating the importance of understanding who deserves and achieved things first.

Who lied about it and made things worse

Acknowledging the negative impact of lies on situations.

See, it don't matter I've only begun to confuse you

Emphasizing that confusion is ongoing and expanding.

It's what I do

Reaffirming the propensity for causing confusion as a characteristic behavior.

You deserve it, you got there first

Pointing out someone deserving consequences and achieving something first.

I didn't make it and that's still hurts

Expressing personal disappointment for not achieving something and feeling the pain.

I could be floating or ready to explode

Contemplating a state of uncertainty, either floating or on the verge of exploding emotionally.

If I don't show, no one knows

Suggesting that actions may go unnoticed if not displayed or expressed.
