Bandit
Love's Bandit: A Journey Through Heartache and Rebellion
Lyrics
Let's stop seein' other people
Expressing a desire to stop dating other people.
Want to be your favorite Beatle
Desire to become the most favored or beloved figure, similar to being the favorite member of the Beatles.
Let me crawl down your halls
Metaphorically asking for intimacy or access to someone's inner self.
Hijack my decisions for me
Asking someone else to take control of decision-making.
Free my mind and take the glory
Wanting liberation of thoughts and allowing someone else to take credit or praise.
I don't care, just watch the hair
Being indifferent to certain matters, focusing on appearance instead.
If I'm fallin' out of favor
Feeling insecure about losing favor or popularity.
Will you tell me how to stop?
Seeking guidance on how to regain favor or acceptance.
You're actin' so cold
Observing someone's emotionally distant or detached behavior.
Actin' so cold just like you planned it (planned it)
Emphasizing that the person's cold behavior seems intentional.
And now you're holdin' up my heart
Symbolically holding the speaker's emotions or affections hostage.
Holdin' up my heart like you're a bandit (bandit, bandit, bandit)
Comparing the person's actions to that of a thief (bandit) stealing emotions or love.
Name a more iconic duo
Asking for an example of a more famous or legendary pairing.
Waited all my life for you
Implying a long wait for someone like the person being addressed.
So I'll go first, or die of thirst
Willingness to take the first step or suffer dire consequences.
Call me when my table's ready
Requesting notification when it's time to engage or be involved.
Cut me off like John Paul Getty
Using a reference to being cut off abruptly or abruptly excluded, akin to John Paul Getty cutting family members from his will.
Make me hurt, and no dessert
Emphasizing the infliction of pain and denial of pleasure or satisfaction.
Now the mood's on a recliner
Describing the current emotional atmosphere as relaxed or inactive.
And I can't get it to stop
Expressing difficulty in controlling or changing the current mood or situation.
You're actin' so cold
Reiteration of someone's emotionally distant or detached behavior.
Actin' so cold just like you planned it (planned it)
Reiterating that the person's cold behavior seems planned or intentional.
And now you're holdin' up my heart
Reiterating the person's control over the speaker's emotions or affections.
Holdin' up my heart like you're a bandit (bandit, bandit, bandit)
Reinforcing the comparison of the person's actions to that of a thief (bandit) stealing emotions or love.
You're actin' so cold
Continuing to describe the emotionally distant or detached behavior.
Actin' so cold just like you planned it (planned it)
Continuing to emphasize that the person's cold behavior seems planned or intentional.
And now you're holdin' up my heart
Continuing to highlight the person's control over the speaker's emotions or affections.
Holdin' up my heart like you're a bandit (bandit, bandit, bandit)
Reiterating the comparison of the person's actions to that of a thief (bandit) stealing emotions or love.
