Any Other Way
Breaking Free: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Any Other Way' by Theory of a Deadman
Lyrics
You've tried to open your mouth but only shit would come out
You've tried to express yourself, but your communication has been negative or unhelpful.
I always wondered where you got it from
The speaker is curious about the source of the negative behavior exhibited by the listener.
You haven't heard a damn word I've said,
The listener has not paid attention to the speaker's words.
You never believed in anything I did
The listener has never supported or believed in any of the speaker's actions or choices.
I don't care what you're doing, do what you want to,
The speaker is indifferent to the listener's actions and advises them to do as they please.
Look where it got you
Reflecting on the consequences of the listener's choices.
You can't help yourself
The listener is self-destructive and unable to control their actions.
I know you'll never change
The speaker believes that the listener is resistant to change.
You say you don't need anyone
The listener claims independence and insists on not needing anyone.
And wouldn't have it any other way
The listener prefers their current state and doesn't want it any other way.
Just try to open your eyes and try my life on for size
The speaker suggests the listener should empathize by experiencing the speaker's life.
I always wondered who you're hiding from
The speaker wonders about the listener's hidden aspects or motivations.
You haven't heard a damn word I've said,
Reiteration that the listener is not attentive to the speaker's words.
You never believed in anything I did
Reiteration that the listener has never supported or believed in the speaker's actions.
I don't care who you're doing, do who you want to,
The speaker remains indifferent to the listener's choices.
Look what it got you
Reflecting on the negative outcomes of the listener's choices.
Well you can't help yourself
Reiterating the listener's lack of self-control and inability to change.
I know you'll never change
Belief that the listener is resistant to personal transformation.
You say you don't need anyone
The listener claims independence and insists on not needing anyone.
And wouldn't have it any other way

Oh you made a big mistake, and won't admit it
Acknowledging a significant error made by the listener, which they refuse to admit.

Oh you made a big mistake, so don't forget it
