Metronome
Metronome's Rhythm of Rebellion: A Solo Symphony of Independence
Lyrics
Alright
Expression of readiness or agreement
Here we go
Beginning a new phase or action
Run away you say I don't like the way that you use that tone
Rejecting someone's tone and expressing a desire for independence
Well that's okay I say I think I'm just better off on my own
Asserting a preference for solitude and independence
Serpentine you say your lines like the devil counts his bones
Describing someone's speech as deceptive, with a reference to the devil
Some clever rhyme puts you back as I keep time like a metronome
Using clever rhymes to counteract negativity, comparing it to a metronome
One, two, three, four
Counting in a rhythmic manner, possibly symbolizing control or order
Stay awhile you smile wide like the melody in my head
Encouraging someone to stay and enjoy the pleasant moments
Save your style, I say I quite like the remedy of my bed
Expressing contentment with personal choices and remedies
You say you're wise, okay then tell me the meaning of this song
Challenging someone's claim of wisdom and asking for the meaning of the song
While you surmise I laugh as I keep time like a metronome
Laughing off speculation while maintaining control like a metronome
I'm only waiting for someone to tell me why I wrote this song
Expressing a desire for an explanation of the song's creation
Give me a reason but it's always wrong
Frustration with unsuccessful attempts to find a meaningful reason
How long
A question about the duration or extent of the search for a reason
Speak your mind and say you're not like the people on their phones
Encouraging honesty and claiming individuality in the era of smartphones
Well soon you'll find your spot in line with the other pretentious drones
Predicting conformity and loss of individuality in the future
So keep that back flat ratta tat let the melody drive you home
Advising to maintain composure and let music guide home
You try your best but can't contest and die like a metronome
Acknowledging effort but predicting failure in the face of rhythm like a metronome
I'm only waiting for someone to tell me why I wrote this song
Reiteration of the desire for an explanation of the song's creation
Give me a reason but it's always wrong
Frustration with repeated unsuccessful attempts to find a meaningful reason
How long
A repetition of the question about the duration or extent of the search for a reason
Run away you say I don't like the way that you use that tone
Rejection of someone's tone and reaffirmation of the preference for independence
Well that's okay I say I think I'm just better off on my own
Reiteration of the preference for solitude and independence
Serpentine you say your lines like the devil counts his bones
Describing deceptive speech with a reference to the devil, echoing earlier lines
Some clever rhyme puts you back as I keep time like a metronome
Using clever rhymes to counteract negativity and maintain control like a metronome
