Lyrics
Now that we’re here
Expressing a present moment or situation.
Some folly, some fear
Reference to foolishness and fear in the current situation.
I try to hold my feelings but they disappear
Struggling to suppress emotions that eventually fade away.
Just you cuz you said it don’t mean you’re sincere
Caution against assuming sincerity solely based on words spoken.
Everybody’s lining up
People are gathering or aligning for a purpose.
They’re gonna take you down
Anticipation of collective action to bring someone down.
Why are you still here?
Questioning the presence of an individual in the current situation.
Why aren’t you running out of town?
Wondering why the person isn't leaving or avoiding trouble.
If you’re gonna fight it, fight fair
Encouraging fair confrontation if one chooses to fight.
Pull your lies out of the air
Advising against deception; honesty is urged.
If you’re gonna grab me by the hair
Imagery of a physical struggle, urging a genuine approach.
Pretend that you care
Highlighting the superficiality of care in certain interactions.
Can’t make sense of what you say
Expressing difficulty in understanding spoken words.
And I can’t hold on another day
A sense of desperation and the struggle to endure.
Grab ahold of me
Imagery of physical harm, possibly metaphorical.
Punch until it bleeds
Emphasizing physical violence and its consequences.
Till there’s nothing left to see
Illustrating the aftermath of intense conflict.
I could tell that things weren’t right
Recognition of an unsettling situation.
When you started calling me up in the middle of the night
Noticing unusual behavior, especially during late hours.
When the king falls
Symbolic description of a downfall, possibly of authority.
It’s quite the sight to see
Emphasizing the spectacle of a powerful figure's decline.
Everybody’s lining up
Repetition of the idea of collective action against someone.
They’re gonna take you down
Anticipating a concerted effort to bring about consequences.
Not sure why you’re still here
Confusion about the person's continued presence in the situation.
Why aren’t you running out of town?
Questioning why the person hasn't chosen to avoid trouble.
If you’re gonna fight it, fight fair
Encouraging fair and honest confrontation in any conflict.
Pull your lies out of the air
Emphasizing the need to dispel falsehoods in a dispute.
If you’re gonna grab me by the hair
Continuation of physical struggle imagery with a call for authenticity.
Pretend that you care
Highlighting the insincerity masked by superficial caring gestures.
I’m not your son
Disassociating oneself from a certain identity or expectation.
I could be anyone
Claiming a lack of specific identity, suggesting universality.
There’s a hundred things
Emphasizing the multitude of tasks left unfinished or unaddressed.
We’re gonna leave undone
Expressing a sense of neglect or abandonment of responsibilities.
Such a waste
Characterizing the situation as wasteful or lacking purpose.
So much misplaced
Noting the misplacement of significant elements or emotions.
I don’t know anything
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding in the current context.
But I know I’ll never fight ya in the middle of the ring
Declaring a refusal to engage in a direct confrontation.
