On Time: Defying Expectations with Relentless Precision
Lyrics
Always gonna be here with you
Expressing a commitment to always be present with the person addressed.
Till the day that you die
Commitment to staying together until death.
Wrapped up in an institution
Suggesting being confined or entangled in a system or relationship, prompting questioning.
Asking me why
The person is asking the singer why they are in this situation.
I can be at service
Offering assistance or help.
But mostly I just make you nervous
Admitting that the singer's presence may cause discomfort or unease.
But you know that I would never lie
Asserting honesty and trustworthiness despite potential discomfort.
I'm day, night, right, some or any
Listing various states or situations, possibly portraying versatility or adaptability.
Expensive luxury
Describing oneself as a costly and luxurious entity.
One, two, three, for all or many
Using numerical progression to emphasize abundance or variety.
Scars in cheap history
Referring to emotional or physical wounds in a less significant way, possibly dismissing them.
I breed anticipation
Stating an ability to generate anticipation or excitement.
I don't do negotiations
Claiming not to engage in discussions or compromises.
And I might even deceive
Admitting a potential for deception or misleading actions.
I'm on my way
Expressing a forward movement or progress.
And I never wait
Emphasizing an impatient or proactive nature, refusing to wait.
I always get by
Claiming the ability to overcome challenges or obstacles.
I'm the contrary picture
Describing oneself as the opposite of conventional expectations.
And on time
Highlighting punctuality or reliability.
You're always gonna face me
Assuring that the person will always have to confront the singer.
For sure or even in doubt
Acknowledging certainty or doubt in future encounters.
At one point or another
Suggesting a competitive aspect, where the person will attempt to outpace the singer.
You'll do your best to race me
Predicting the person's failure to surpass or defeat the singer.
But you're never gonna carry it out
Emphasizing the singer's unwavering nature compared to the person's inability to follow through.
Always being present
Claiming constant presence, juxtaposing seemingly contradictory qualities.
I'm senile and adolescent
Describing oneself as simultaneously aged and youthful.
You know I'll make you whimper and shout
Asserting the ability to elicit emotional responses from the person.
I'm on my way
Reiterating forward movement and lack of waiting.
And I never wait
Reaffirming an active and non-waiting approach to life.
I always get by
Claiming consistent success in overcoming challenges.
I'm the contrary picture
Repeating the assertion of being contrary to expectations.
And on time
Stressing the attribute of punctuality or being on time.
