Lyrics

Control slipping through my hands like quicksand

Feeling like control is slipping away rapidly, much like how one loses control in quicksand.

If you know me, then you know I ain't a big fan

The speaker indicates that if someone truly knows them, they would understand they are not fond of certain situations or behaviors.

I might pop in a minute, didn't go to plan

Things didn't go as planned or expected in a particular situation.

I got my trousers on, does that make me the man?

Wearing trousers metaphorically suggests feeling empowered or dominant in a situation, questioning if that indicates superiority.


Insecurities are high imposter

The speaker acknowledges feeling like an imposter or someone pretending to be someone they're not.

I could do this in my sleep but not today, sir

While they usually can handle things effortlessly, today is an exception.

I might grab a couple freaks, play puppet master

Considering manipulating or controlling people for personal gains or amusement.

Do as I say, when I say, or disaster

People should obey the speaker immediately, or there will be consequences.


Ooh, do you like me when I'm cool?

Questioning if someone appreciates or values the speaker's calm and composed demeanor.

Laid back, shut trap

Enjoying a relaxed and unbothered state, implying a desire for respect in that state.

Ooh, I don't get by pleasing you

Not trying to please others or seek validation through their approval.

So stick that up your

Expression cut off intentionally, suggesting a dismissive or defiant attitude.


Ooh-oh, I don't care

Indifference towards external opinions or judgments.

Suck on a lollipop if it makes the crying stop

Engaging in distractions (like a lollipop) to cope with emotional pain.

Ooh-oh, I don't care

Reiterating indifference while acknowledging a rebellious or underground attitude.

A little underground to be playing rockstar now

Feeling out of place or not mainstream, yet still embracing a rockstar persona.


Scribble out and start again, designer

Starting anew or reinventing oneself, suggesting a temporary or fake persona.

Paint a picture for my friends, I'm a liar

Fabricating stories or personas to appear more interesting or appealing.

I ain't tryna start a fight or a fire

Not wanting to cause conflicts or disturbances, yet needing excitement.

But I need stimulation and you just ain't got either

Desiring stimulation or excitement from someone who doesn’t provide it.


Splash my face with some water

Trying to refresh oneself or become alert to reality.

You know I'm someone's daughter

Reminder of personal ties or connections, emphasizing vulnerability.

Don't be crossing no wires

Cautioning against causing misunderstandings or conflicts.

I'll take you to the slaughter

Warning of consequences or retaliation if provoked.

I'm the reason you're here

Asserting influence or control over someone’s presence or situation.

I'm your doctor, your dealer

Metaphorically serving roles of care and provision.

I'm the main character

Feeling central or primary in a situation, not secondary.

Not the third-wheeler, ah

Not being the extra or unnecessary element in a situation.


Ooh-oh, I don't care

Reiteration of indifference towards external judgments or opinions.

Suck on a lollipop if it makes the crying stop

Using distractions (like a lollipop) as a coping mechanism for emotional distress.

Ooh-oh, I don't care

Reaffirming a rebellious or nonconforming attitude within a rockstar persona.

A little underground to be playing rockstar now

Reiterating the sentiment of feeling out of place yet still adopting a rockstar vibe.

Ooh-oh, I don't care

Further emphasizing indifference and coping mechanisms.

Suck on a lollipop if it makes the crying stop

Continued expression of emotional detachment or coping strategies.

Ooh-oh, I don't care

Line intentionally left blank for emphasis or pacing.


You're loco, sniff coco
