Lyrics
Well, I'm not an evil man but I'll put you in your place
Expressing assertiveness, readiness to stand up for oneself.
Kick you down to the ground and kick mud in your face
Using physical force metaphorically to dominate and humiliate.
You know this Mr. Nice Guy but I put on weight
Contrasting a previous 'Nice Guy' persona with a newfound assertiveness.
And I'll put this finger right in your face, yeah
Threatening confrontation and disrespect by pointing a finger.
When you turn around, I won't follow, won't follow
Refusing to blindly follow or be controlled by someone.
Won't follow you
Reiterating the decision not to follow or be influenced.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Emphasizing the preservation of personal pride over submission.
This time I'll walk away
Committing to walking away from a situation.
Look for me but I won't follow, won't follow
Reiterating the refusal to follow or be controlled.
Won't follow you
Continuing the determination to resist influence.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Stressing the importance of maintaining personal pride.
Or make the same mistakes
Committing to avoiding past mistakes.
Time and time again I let it happen again
Expressing a pattern of repeatedly allowing negative events.
I gave trust to a friend and they fucked me again
Reflecting on betrayal and mistreatment by a friend.
Dirt off my back gave to you what I had
Offering help and support, but feeling taken advantage of.
It seems the more I trust the more I'm kicked in the
Noting a correlation between trust and being mistreated.
Ask me no more questions
Declining further interrogation or probing.
Will you tell me no more lies?
Questioning the honesty of the person being addressed.
Will you ask me no more questions?
Repeating the reluctance to answer more questions.
Well, I won't believe your lies
Expressing skepticism and refusal to believe lies.
Well, I won't believe your lies
Reiterating the disbelief in deceit.
When you turn around, I won't follow, won't follow you
Repeating the decision not to follow or be controlled.
Won't follow you
Continuing the refusal to be influenced.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Emphasizing the importance of personal pride.
This time I'll walk away
Committing to walking away from a situation.
Look for me but I won't follow, won't follow
Reiterating the refusal to follow or be controlled.
Won't follow you
Continuing the determination to resist influence.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Stressing the importance of maintaining personal pride.
Or make the same mistakes
Committing to avoiding past mistakes.
Ohhhh, mistakes
Reflecting on past errors or misjudgments.
Well, I'm not the crazy one
Denying being crazy but acknowledging feeling that way sometimes.
But sometimes I always feel
Expressing an ongoing internal struggle or confusion.
Like I'm the crazy one
Acknowledging a sense of personal instability.
But this life you cannot steal
Affirming the irreplaceable nature of one's own life experiences.
When you turn around, I won't follow, won't follow
Reiterating the decision not to follow or be controlled.
Won't follow you
Continuing the refusal to be influenced.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Emphasizing the importance of personal pride.
This time I'll walk away
Committing to walking away from a situation.
Look for me but I won't follow, won't follow
Reiterating the refusal to follow or be controlled.
Won't follow you
Continuing the determination to resist influence.
This time my pride you know I won't swallow
Stressing the importance of maintaining personal pride.
Or make the same mistakes
Committing to avoiding past mistakes.
Ohhhhhh
Emotional expression, possibly indicating regret or frustration.
