Lyrics
I can't listen while I'm breathing fire,
I struggle to focus when I'm angry.
I don't think straight when I get pissed off,
Anger clouds my judgment and reasoning.
It'd be easier to just to calm down,
It would be better to calm down in difficult situations.
Cause I'm an asshole when I get called out.
I behave poorly when confronted or criticized.
Forget the words I said,
I want to take back the words I uttered.
I was not myself,
My behavior didn't represent my true self.
I never really thought you were psycho,
I never believed you were mentally unstable.
I was just mad at being attacked,
I was upset about being accused or attacked.
I never really thought you were psycho.
Reiteration that the person is not considered psychotic.
There's talk, but then there's talk,
There is gossip, but not all talk is reliable.
Where we get so convinced that the thoughts we've got,
We can become convinced of thoughts that may not be true.
Like lines, in black and white
Comparing thoughts to clear distinctions, like black and white lines.
The tail of the snake is in it's teeth tonight.
A metaphorical reference to a dangerous situation.
I thought for sure this time I was innocent,
Belief in innocence shattered, thinking the loved one turned psychotic.
And that the girl I loved had gone psycho,
Perceived madness in the person they loved.
I was just mad and feeling attacked,
Emphasizing being upset and feeling attacked rather than true psychosis.
I never really thought you were psycho.
Reiteration that the person is not considered psychotic.
I know I must have stressed you out,
Acknowledging the stress imposed on the other person.
I don't start fights, I make explosions,
Claims to create chaos rather than initiating fights.
It's be easier to just calm down,
Suggesting it would be better to calm down in tense situations.
But I'm an asshole when I get called out.
Admitting a negative reaction when confronted or criticized.
Forget the words I said,
Expressing a desire to retract spoken words.
I was not myself,
Clarifying that the previous behavior was not typical.
I never really thought you were psycho,
Reiterating the disbelief in the person being psychotic.
I was just mad at being attacked,
Being upset about feeling attacked rather than believing in psychosis.
I never really thought you were psycho.
Reiteration that the person is not considered psychotic.
