This Means War
Unveiling the Battlefield of Truth in 'This Means War'
Lyrics
I've been counting down the days till you notice
I've been eagerly anticipating the moment when you become aware.
There's a right way and a wrong way to approach this
There are proper and improper ways to address this situation.
But I'm not stupid despite how it seems
Despite appearances, I'm not unintelligent.
And you can't do this if I'm not listening
Your actions won't have an impact if I'm not paying attention.
Why does everything have to become a lesson?
Questioning why everything turns into a learning experience.
There's a difference between candor and confession
Highlighting the distinction between openness and revealing too much.
Well, I'm not stupid despite how it seems
Reiterating intelligence despite outward impressions.
You can't do this if I'm not listening
Your efforts are futile if I'm not attentive.
You say what you want
Expressing the freedom to speak one's mind.
Everyone else is wrong
Dismissing others' opinions as incorrect.
Nothing I do is my fault
Denying personal responsibility for actions.
I'm telling the truth
Affirming the honesty in communication.
Say what you want
Reiterating the right to express oneself freely.
Everyone else is wrong
Rejecting the validity of others' perspectives.
Nothing I do is my fault
Refusing to acknowledge personal fault.
So cut it out
Directing someone to stop their behavior.
I've been counting down the days until it happened
Awaiting a particular event with a countdown.
There's a wrong way to approach this kind of action
Emphasizing the incorrect approach to a situation.
'Cause I'm not stupid despite how it seems
Reaffirming intelligence despite appearances.
And you can't do this if I'm not listening
Your actions won't affect me if I'm not attentive.
You say what you want
Advocating for personal expression despite dissenting opinions.
Everyone else is wrong
Dismissing others' viewpoints as incorrect.
Nothing I do is my fault
Rejecting personal responsibility for one's actions.
I'm telling the truth
Asserting the truthfulness of one's statements.
Say what you want
Reiterating the right to free expression.
Everyone else is wrong
Denying the validity of others' perspectives.
Nothing I do is my fault
Refusing to accept personal blame.
This means war
Declaring a conflict or intense disagreement.
'Cause I'm not stupid despite how it seems
Affirming intelligence despite outward appearances.
And you can't do this if I'm not listening
Your actions won't have an impact if I'm not paying attention.
You say what you want
Supporting the right to express oneself freely.
Everyone else is wrong
Dismissing others' opinions as incorrect.
Nothing I do is my fault
Rejecting personal responsibility for actions.
I'm telling the truth
Affirming the honesty in communication.
Say what you want
Reiterating the right to express oneself freely.
Everyone else is wrong
Denying the validity of others' perspectives.
Nothing I do is my fault
Refusing to acknowledge personal fault.
So cut it out
Instructing someone to cease their behavior.
