Winning Streak
Unveiling the Complex Persona: Winning Streak by The Juniper Berries
Lyrics
it was never easy being close to you
Expressing difficulty in being close to someone.
but we could always strike a truce
Despite difficulties, finding ways to reach an agreement.
using all your friends as means to an end
Using friends as tools for personal gain.
a selfish rewrite of every weekend
Manipulating weekends for selfish reasons.
always an avid fan of obscurity
Having a strong interest in things not well-known.
except when asked about your personality
Avoiding discussion about personal traits.
I hope you’re different now
Expressing hope for a positive change in the person.
nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Believing others won't tolerate negative behavior.
illuminate the world in selfish light
Shining a light on the world with a self-centered perspective.
a control freak on a winning streak
Describing the person as a control freak currently succeeding.
you’ve been playing the part of someone else from the start
Pointing out the person's consistent role-playing.
you couldn’t really call that acting art
Criticizing the person's acting skills as lacking authenticity.
you can paint yourself from memory
Suggesting the ability to recreate oneself in memory.
right onto the movie screen
Portraying oneself on the "movie screen" of life.
you’re the biggest man you could ever be
Feeling like the most significant person despite dissenting opinions.
though nobody else seems to agree
Not receiving acknowledgment from others for self-perceived greatness.
I hope you’re different now
Reiterating hope for a positive change in the person.
nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Emphasizing others' unwillingness to tolerate negative behavior.
illuminate the world in selfish light
Continuing to see the world from a self-centered perspective.
a control freak on a winning streak
Describing the person as a current control freak on a successful streak.
I hope you’re different now
Repeating hope for positive change in the person.
nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Reiterating the belief that others won't tolerate negative behavior.
illuminate the world in selfish light
Persisting in illuminating the world with a self-centered light.
a control freak on a winning streak
Repeating the description of the person as a control freak on a winning streak.
