Lyrics
Take a look at me decide what do you see
Self-reflection, inviting judgment
I'm a dick that moved to the city
Admission of a move to the city, possibly a negative connotation
People over here and over there
Observation of people everywhere
Always trying to tell me that I should care
Pressure from others to care about things
I am stressed
Expressing stress
Yes I am
Reiteration of stress
People's worlds are in my hands
Sense of responsibility for others
No one seems
Feeling misunderstood
To understand
People's lack of understanding
And by the bridge
Reference to a specific location
Peaceful riots
Contradictory imagery of 'peaceful riots'
I just need
Desire for tranquility
Some peace and quiet
Desire to escape from current circumstances
Could I leave it all behind
Contemplation of leaving everything
I don't care if you think I'm mean
Disregard for others' opinions
I've been an asshole since sixteen
Admission of a past negative attitude
Stay away if you can
Request for distance from others
I am not a people's man
Declaring a disconnection from social interactions
I am stressed
Restatement of stress
Yes I am
Reiteration of stress
People's worlds are in my hands
Feeling of bearing others' burdens
No one seems
Feeling misunderstood
To understand
Lack of comprehension from others
And by the bridge
Reference to a specific location (repeated)
Peaceful riots
Contradictory imagery of 'peaceful riots' (repeated)
I just need
Desire for tranquility (repeated)
Some fucking quiet
Strong emphasis on needing quiet
Could I leave it all behind
Contemplation of leaving everything (repeated)
I am stressed
Restatement of stress (repeated)
Yes I am
Reiteration of stress (repeated)
People's worlds are in my hands
Feeling of bearing others' burdens (repeated)
No one seems
Feeling misunderstood (repeated)
To understand
Lack of comprehension from others (repeated)
And by the bridge
Reference to a specific location (repeated)
Peaceful riots
Contradictory imagery of 'peaceful riots' (repeated)
I just need
Desire for tranquility (repeated)
Some peace and quiet
Strong emphasis on needing peace and quiet
Could I leave it all behind
Contemplation of leaving everything (repeated)
It's never never never
Repetition emphasizing the absence of quiet
Quiet

-Quiet

-Quiet
-It's never never never
-Quiet
-It's never never never

Command for silence
