Lost My Cool
Lost My Cool: Unraveling the Painful Symphony of Betrayal
Lyrics
Wait for me, you said
Expressing impatience or anticipation for someone to wait.
Waiting was all I did
Waiting was the primary activity during the absence.
I went away wishing I'd stayed
Regretting the decision to leave, wishing to have stayed.
You used the time to trade my name
The person used the time away to betray or deceive the speaker.
Naked as I could be
Vulnerability, being exposed or defenseless.
You made the most of what I threw
Making the best of what was offered or provided.
Flexin' the truth more than I knew
Exaggerating the truth more than the speaker realized.
I turn myself to someone new
Transformation or reinvention of oneself.
I'm not a saint, I became everything I hate
Admitting flaws and having become what is disliked.
I still paint you red, just to forget your name
Trying to erase memories by symbolically painting them red.
And piece myself together with a stale glue
Rebuilding oneself using inadequate or ineffective means.
Found out you're full of shit, why don't you swallow it?
Discovering the other person's dishonesty and urging them to accept it.
Caught up in the very best of you
Being captivated or entangled in the best qualities of the other person.
Tunnel vision and a point to prove
Having a narrow focus and a determination to prove something.
Persistent for an oh so daisy blue
Persisting for something pure or ideal but in a naive way.
With nothing but a selfish point of view
Having a selfish and limited perspective.
So take your crooked friends
Advising the person to distance themselves from unreliable friends.
Wipe off your silent grin
Encouraging the person to wipe away their deceptive smile.
'Cause when you held my hand, should've dug my nails in
Regretting not being more assertive or aggressive in the past.
Tell me how the absence of me made you sore
Asking about the impact of the speaker's absence on the other person.
Your words are full of shit, I'll make you swallow it
Highlighting the insincerity of the other person's words.
Not a saint, I became everything I hate
Acknowledging personal faults and becoming what is despised.
I still paint you red, just to forget your name
Continuing efforts to erase memories by symbolic painting.
And piece myself together with a stale glue
Rebuilding oneself using inadequate or ineffective means (repeated).
Found out you're full of shit, why don't you swallow it?
Reiterating the discovery of the other person's dishonesty.
Wait for me, you said
Repetition of the initial plea or request to wait.
Waiting was all I did
Repetition of the prolonged waiting without the speaker.
I went away, wishing I'd stayed
Repetition of the regret for leaving and the desire to have stayed.
You used the time to trade my name
Repetition of the use of time to betray the speaker.
Not a saint, I became everything I hate
Reiteration of personal faults and becoming what is despised (repeated).
I still paint you red, just to forget your name
Reiteration of efforts to erase memories by symbolic painting (repeated).
And piece myself together with a stale glue
Repetition of rebuilding oneself using inadequate means (repeated).
Found out you're full of shit, why don't you swallow it?
Reiteration of the discovery of the other person's dishonesty (repeated).
Why don't you swallow it?
Final plea or suggestion for the other person to accept their dishonesty.
