Lyrics
How does it feel
Expressing curiosity about someone's emotional experience.
Treading in your hands
Suggesting vulnerability and dependence on someone else.
Slipped right through your fingers
Highlighting a missed opportunity or loss.
For you guess I'm too advanced
Implying a sense of being too sophisticated or advanced for someone.
Wanna play a game
Proposing engagement in a symbolic or metaphorical game.
A game called Tori says
Introducing the game as being influenced by the artist, Tori.
Play it my way you have no choice
Asserting control or dominance in the game.
Now this is what I say
Stating the artist's perspective or message within the game.
I wanna freak when I freak out
Expressing a desire for intense emotional experiences.
I want the truth I want it now
Demanding truth and immediacy.
Where did you put my sanity
Possibly questioning the whereabouts of personal stability or rationality.
John Doe played a game that brought him to his shame
Introducing a character, John Doe, who played a consequential game.
He let his ink bleed everywhere but no one knew his name
Describing John Doe's actions with ink as symbolic and secretive.
Now he weeps in aw his poor soul had to go
Depicting John Doe's remorse or sorrow for the consequences.
I now remain a legend but he still remains John Doe
Contrasting the artist's status as a legend with John Doe's anonymity.
How does it feel
Repeating the initial question, possibly directed at oneself.
Treading in my hands
Switching the perspective to the artist's hands.
Placed you on a pedestal
Acknowledging a failed attempt to elevate someone.
But fell right through your plan
Indicating a failure in someone's plan or intentions.
Took advantage of me
Pointing out being taken advantage of.
Faked a prodigy
Referring to a fake or deceptive prodigy.
I'm sure you're here listening
Suggesting awareness of someone's presence and divine oversight.
God does see everything
Emphasizing the perceived falseness of everything.
Everything everything is fake
Repeating the theme of fakeness with an apology.
Fake fake fake fake sorry
Restating John Doe's actions and consequences.

He let his ink bleed everywhere but no one knew his name

You say my cuisine is fine
Commenting on the quality of the artist's offerings.
Dreamt of my own wings to fly

Drawing a parallel between truth and the effects of alcohol.
Now becomes your misery
Connecting truth with someone else's suffering or discomfort.
