This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
Decoding the Sonic Arsenal: Unraveling Wild Tales' Commentary on Society
Lyrics
I am an arms dealer
I engage in the business of providing weapons.
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
I equip people with weapons in the form of words.
And don't really care which side wins
I don't have a preference for which side wins; I care about the ongoing excitement.
Long as the room keeps singing
As long as people continue expressing themselves, I'm satisfied.
That's just the business I'm in
My involvement revolves around the entertainment industry.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
The situation described is not just a scene but a competitive environment resembling an arms race.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
-I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress
I'm not here to provide emotional support, but I'll digress from that topic.
I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
I am a prominent figure, and the lies I tell are highly complex and detailed.
Oh so intricate yeah
-I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
-Oh so intricate yeah
-I wrote the gospel on giving up (You look pretty sinking)
I have extensive knowledge of giving up, possibly a reference to failures.
But the real bombshells have already sunk (Primadonnas of the gutter)
The real shocking revelations or scandals have already occurred.
At night we're painting your trash gold, while you sleep
During the night, we transform your ordinary things into something valuable.
Crashing not like hips or cars
The crashes mentioned are not physical but relate to social events like parties.
No, more like p-p-parties
Not like the crashes involving hips or cars, but more like party-related incidents.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
Repetition of the statement emphasizing the competitive nature of the situation.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
-Bandwagon's full, please catch another
The bandwagon is full, find another one to join.
I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
Reiteration of being a leading figure with intricate lies, followed by a vocal expression.
Oh so intricate yeah
-I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
-Oh so intricate yeah, whoa oh oh oh whoa oh
-All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
Mentions individuals who were not favored by the dance floor.
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Refers to girls whose lips couldn't keep up with the pace of communication.
Sing, until your lungs give out
Encourages singing until exhaustion.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
Repetition of the theme of the arms race, lies, and intricacy, along with a call to sing out loud.
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Now you)
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Wear out the groove)
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Sing out loud)
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race (Oh, oh)
-This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
-I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
-Oh so intricate yeah
-I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate
-Oh so intricate
Reiterates the complexity of the lies.
