Everything You Say
Edge of Liberation: The Rasmus Unveils a Battle Against Manipulation
Lyrics
Tired of being seen as a bird in a cage
Tired of feeling restricted and confined, like a bird in a cage.
Tired of being heard all he did last week
Exhausted from having all his actions scrutinized and criticized in the past week.
Obviously you want to be me â??cause every time
Suspecting that someone wants to emulate him, as they consistently reveal his vulnerabilities when he's down.
when I fall you're the first to reveal me
Noticing that the person is quick to expose and exploit his weaknesses whenever he stumbles or fails.
Live for yourself instead
Suggesting that the person should prioritize their own well-being instead of focusing on him.
Do me a favour
Asking the person to perform a helpful act.
Feed your empty head
Advising the person to expand their knowledge or understanding.
You drive me close to the edge
Expressing frustration at being pushed to the brink by the person.
Everything you say, you say it to annoy me
Stating that everything the person says is intended to irritate and provoke.
Watching every move I make whenever I'm around
Observing that the person closely monitors his every move when he's present.
Everything you do, you do it to destroy me
Believing that all the person's actions are geared towards causing harm and ruin.
Waiting for the darkest hour to put me down
Anticipating the person to strike at the most challenging or difficult moments.
Time is gradual, the surface is all you can see
Commenting on the gradual passage of time, where only the superficial aspects are visible.
And if I told you the truth you will not understand me
Expressing hesitation about sharing the truth, expecting a lack of understanding.
Feed your empty head
Reiterating the advice to expand one's knowledge or understanding.
Do me a favour
Asking the person to perform a helpful act again.
Live for yourself instead
Encouraging the person to prioritize their own interests and well-being.
You drive me close to the edge
Expressing frustration at being pushed to the brink once more.
Everything you say, you say to annoy me
Reiterating that everything the person says is intended to annoy and provoke.
Watching every move I make whenever I'm around
Reiterating the close monitoring of his actions whenever he is present.
Everything you do, you do it to destroy me
Reiterating the belief that all the person's actions are aimed at causing harm and destruction.
Waiting for the darkest hour to put me down
Reiterating the expectation of the person to strike at the darkest and most challenging moments.
You drive me close to the edge
Expressing the continued frustration of being driven to the edge by the person.
You drive me close to the edge
Reiterating the feeling of being pushed close to the brink by the person.
