I've Got a System
Unraveling Memories: The Intricate System of Liberation in 'I've Got a System'
Lyrics
I've got no roots here
I feel disconnected from this place, no deep roots tying me down.
nothing to prove
I have no need to demonstrate anything to anyone.
I'm ready to make my move
I'm prepared to take action or make a significant change.
Been spending years on the wind-up
I've been investing a lot of time and effort.
The pieces are all lined up
All the elements I need for something are in place.
and I've got a system of pure symmetry in my mind
I possess a systematic approach that's perfectly balanced in my thoughts.
so please stop growing on me
I'm asking someone to stop emotionally attaching to me.
I've got no roots here
Similar to line 1: feeling unattached, not tied to this place.
nothing to leave
I don't have any significant attachments that I need to abandon.
That's just my arm up my sleeve
This is just a strategy I'm using, not my true situation.
I always paid to hear you sing
I've invested in this relationship or situation.
I don't owe this town a thing
I don't feel indebted or obliged to this place or community.
and I've got a map that leads right out of here in my mind
I have a plan mapped out in my thoughts to leave this place.
so please stop smiling, my dear
Asking someone close to me to stop pretending or being falsely happy.
Your melodies made me haunted by memories I don't want and
Your music brings back unwanted memories that haunt me.
you come to me when I sleep and it's gonna be hell to keep away
Despite trying to avoid it, I can't escape your influence, especially in my dreams.
Why did you hug me last night?
Questioning someone about an unexpected display of affection.
What do you mean I'm ""all right""?
Asking for clarification about a compliment or affirmation.
Why did you hug me last night?
Reiterating the surprise of the hug from the previous night.
Why do you hug me all the time?
Questioning the frequency or motive behind someone's constant hugging.
In my mind
Reiterating the clarity of plans to leave, emphasizing it's a mental construct.
