Lyrics

All you ever talk about is what you want to hear

All conversation revolves around your preferences.

All you really want is just to bend another ear

Your true desire is simply to have someone listen to you.

Nothing ever matters if it isn't up to you

Nothing holds significance unless it aligns with your views.

So everybody scatters when you walk into the room

People disperse when you enter, possibly due to your dominating presence.


I've given up I'm getting out

The speaker is resigning and leaving the situation.

I'm overloaded and knee deep

Feeling overwhelmed and deeply immersed in problems.

What should I believe

Uncertainty about what to trust or believe.


I never know the difference cause it's never what it seems

Difficulty distinguishing reality as it often deceives.

Subjugate your neighbor to acquire what you need

Exploiting others to fulfill personal needs.

Fabricate a fantasy that isn't coming true

Creating false hopes or dreams that will not come true.

All the clever innocence to cover the illusion

Using clever innocence to mask deceptive illusions.


I've had enough I've seen it all

The speaker has reached a point of saturation, having experienced enough.

I'm overdue for some release

Longing for a release or escape from the current state.

Will you never cease

Questioning if the challenges will ever end.


After all you've known it all along

Despite knowing the truth, there's a realization after all.

Nothing comes from nothing

Nothing can come from nothing; there are consequences.

And it isn't what you came for

What you sought may not be what you find in the end.

All the while you waste you vacant mind

Wasting time with idle thoughts or actions.

There is no resurrection of the time you killed

No revival of the time wasted or lost.


Everything is easy always having an excuse

Living without challenges, always finding excuses.

Always in the market for a ritual abuse

Constantly seeking situations of abuse or mistreatment.

Lack of opportunity is knocking at the door

Opportunities are being ignored or rejected.

Sitting on that good for nothing ass for evermore

Sitting idly without purpose for an extended period.


I've given up I'm getting out

Similar to line 6, expressing a decision to leave.

I'm overloaded and knee deep

Feeling overwhelmed and deeply immersed in problems (repeated).

What should I believe

Uncertainty about what to trust or believe (repeated).


All you ever talk about is what you want to hear

Reiteration of the dominant theme of self-centered communication.

Nothing ever matters if it isn't up to you

Reiteration that significance is determined by personal views.

Lack of opportunity is knocking at the door

Opportunities are being ignored or rejected (repeated).

Sitting on that good for nothing ass for evermore

Sitting idly without purpose for an extended period (repeated).
