Lyrics
Another time, a different page, when ignorance was all the rage
Reflecting on a past era when ignorance was prevalent.
I used to count my blessings to know you
Expressing gratitude for knowing someone in the past.
Itæ?¯ mouths like yours that spread disease
Criticizing people with deceptive mouths that spread harm.
Everyone in your sight is weak at the knees
Describing the impact of the person's presence, making others feel weak.
Waiting for your true intentions to show through
Awareness of hidden intentions and waiting for them to be revealed.
Call in the exterminator this place is full of bugs
Metaphorically suggesting the need to eliminate negative influences.
Rats show their faces later when youæ?³e already pulled the plug
Highlighting the emergence of problems after irreversible actions.
Boys like you donæ?° wear no crowns and girls like you donæ?° wear no frowns
Portraying certain individuals as not having royal or happy attributes.
Theyæ?®e only jesters in someone elseæ?¯ court
Labeling individuals as mere jesters in someone else's domain.
Discontented but entertained, dangerous but easily contained
Describing a state of discontentment coexisting with entertainment.
Looking to someone to hold their fort
People seeking support from others to defend their positions.
Nowhere to run nowhere to turn after all your bridges burn
Expressing a sense of isolation with no escape after burning bridges.
Got no shoulders you can cry on and no one you can rely on
Highlighting a lack of emotional support and reliability.
Apologies the most that youæ?£l admit
Acknowledging limited apologies from the person in question.
You and I can meet where the avenues hit the streets
Suggesting a meeting point where conflicts can be addressed.
And weæ?£l settle our score of problems once and for all
Expressing the intention to resolve longstanding issues definitively.
Iæ?£l meet you in the park an hour after dark
Scheduling a meeting in a park, anticipating a confrontational conversation.
And Iæ?£l try to talk but youæ?? rather see a brawl
Expressing a willingness to talk, but expecting a physical altercation.
When your heroes and villains converge
Suggesting a convergence of both positive and negative influences.
Another picture will emerge
Anticipating a new perspective emerging from the convergence.
Did you ever think that this would end with such a long goodbye?
Raising a question about the unexpected nature of a prolonged farewell.
