What I Do
Deceptive Dance of Love
Lyrics
Well I just lied again for the first time,
Expressing a dishonest action, admitting to lying for the first time.
Well I just lied again to you.
Repeating the acknowledgment of telling lies, specifically to the listener.
Cast a line and I reel you right in, never should believe a word I say is true,
Using fishing metaphor to describe manipulation, warning not to trust what is said.
But you always do every time I lie to you.
Despite the warning, the listener continues to believe the lies told by the speaker.
Well I just stole again for the first time,
Confessing to stealing for the first time, admitting dishonest actions.
Well I just stole again from you.
Repeating the confession of stealing, specifically from the listener.
Turn your back and now your money's missing, cry all night but I never listen,
Describing the consequences of theft, emphasizing the lack of remorse or attention to pleas.
What can you do every time I steal from you?
Despite the negative consequences, the listener is portrayed as helpless in preventing the theft.
I never need to answer questions that you field,
Declining to answer questions, enjoying the mystery and uncertainty surrounding the speaker.
I like to let you wonder if I am for real.
Preferring to keep the listener guessing about the authenticity of the speaker's intentions.
The one thing that I said, to you that is for sure
Asserting the certainty of the speaker's love, possibly in contrast to the earlier dishonest actions.
You know my love for you is secure.
Reassuring the listener that the love is secure despite other untrustworthy behavior.
Well I just killed again for the first time,
Confessing to committing a violent act for the first time, introducing a darker element to the narrative.
Well I just killed again for you.
Repeating the acknowledgment of violence, specifically stating it's done for the listener.
You're tellin' me that I don't have a reason, crack a forty ouncer and it's open season,
Dismissing the need for a reason for the violent act, indicating a lack of justification.
What can you do every time I lie to,
Repeating the idea that lying is inevitable, questioning the listener's response to the speaker's actions.
Every time I steal from, every time I kill for you.
Expanding the range of dishonest actions to include stealing and killing, intensifying the narrative.
