Lyrics
There's blood on teeth, show me your teeth if you're smiling
Reference to visible signs of aggression or conflict, asking to reveal true intentions despite a smile
Words are cheap, like I can't see what's underneath, what's under
Words lack depth or honesty, implying a hidden truth or motive beneath the surface
Hard to please, I'm off my chain, It's gone away, I've gone a
Difficulty in satisfying or impressing, feeling unrestrained or liberated, departing from norms
Brand new way, to keep me safe, give me some space and keep away
Exploration of a new method for self-preservation, seeking distance and safety from others
I might be hanging by a thread
Susceptibility to a precarious situation or emotional vulnerability
But you'd pull my strings and change the words I said
Manipulation or control over one's actions and words by someone else
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Questioning the intentions of others: assistance or ensnarement
Ooooo
(Instrumental sound)
You've got me hanging by a thread
Vulnerability emphasized, feeling dependent or at risk due to others' actions
Ooooo
(Instrumental sound)
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding others' motives
Blood on teeth
Reiteration of aggression or conflict, a visual reminder of conflict
Just let me breathe, because when you speak it's poisoning
Desire for space and relief from toxicity in communication
I feel free, but I can't see, so let me see clearly
Yearning for clarity and understanding despite feeling liberated
I might be hanging by a thread
Reiteration of susceptibility or vulnerability
But you'd pull my strings and change the words I said
Reassertion of manipulation or control by an external force
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Doubt regarding the intentions of others, seeking clarity in relationships
Ooooo, yeah
(Instrumental sound)
You've got me hanging by a thread
Repetition of vulnerability, feeling at the mercy of external factors
Ooooo
(Instrumental sound)
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Reiteration of uncertainty and seeking clarity in relationships
Blood on teeth
Reiteration of aggression or conflict, highlighting visible signs
I feel free, but I can't see, so let me see clearly
Repetition of the desire for clarity despite feeling liberated
Ooooo, you can cut me free
Offering freedom or release from entanglement or control
I might be hanging by a thread
Reiteration of susceptibility or vulnerability
But you'd pull my strings and change the words I said
Reassertion of manipulation or control by an external force
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Reiteration of doubt regarding others' intentions
Ooooo, you can cut my end
Offering freedom or release from manipulation or control
You've got me hanging by a thread
Repetition of vulnerability, feeling at the mercy of external factors
Ooooo
(Instrumental sound)
Are you there to help me up, or pull me in
Reiteration of uncertainty and seeking clarity in relationships
Ooooo
(Instrumental sound)
