Lyrics
I want to change your mind
I desire to change your perspective or opinion
Said I want to set it right this time
Expressing a commitment to make things right this time
I'm looking through you
Observing and trying to understand you
You know who you are
A recognition that the person knows their own identity
And planning for the apocalypse
Engaging in preparation for a catastrophic event
Is not considered
Emphasizing that preparing for a catastrophe is not considered fashionable
Considered cool
Reiterating that planning for an apocalypse is not cool
I don't suggest it myself
Personally not recommending such preparations
But no I won't sweat
Asserting that there is no need to worry excessively
I want to change your ways
Expressing a desire to change your behavior or habits
Said I'm gonna get it right one of these days
Claiming the intention to get things right in the future
And I'm looking through you
Continuing to observe and understand you
Riding the brakes
Using the metaphor of "riding the brakes" to describe hesitating or slowing down
Bringing about the apocalypse
Causing or bringing about a catastrophic event is not considered cool
Is not considered
Reiterating the societal perception that causing an apocalypse is not cool
Considered cool
Despite the societal view, the person continues to set things up for an apocalypse
Still you go setting it up
Highlighting the contradiction of setting up for an apocalypse without much consideration
But never give it a thought
Critiquing the lack of thoughtful consideration while making preparations
Just go setting it up
Continuing to set things up without deep contemplation
My mathematical mind can see the breaks
Asserting that their logical and analytical mind can perceive flaws or limitations
So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes
Deciding to stop hesitating or slowing down
No no no no more ride the brakes
No longer hesitating or being indecisive
Instead I'm gonna see your stakes
Instead, focusing on understanding the risks or consequences
Yeah I'm gonna see the stakes
Committing to assess and comprehend the potential stakes or outcomes
