A MESS LIKE YOU


I am the animal
inside of you and in everybody else
I'm like a cannibal
and thanks to you I can always feed myself

I hide myself in your every decision
I'm questioning your every move
You're letting me in by your own admission
No matter how much you'll always disapprove

Try to stare me in the eye and make me blink
try to run towards me now and make me shrink
'cause I'll never know what I'll do
with a mess like you

You feed the cannibal
'cause denial is what's keeping it alive
Just like an animal
I'll be hunting you in order to survive

I can be at multiple places
right behind you and on the path ahead
And with every lie you created
you've only made me stronger instead

Try to stare me in the eye and make me blink
try to run towards now and make me shrink
'cause I never know what I'll do
with a mess like you

 

 

  

Every time that you use me
You will try to diffuse me
But you can never lose me
'cause I'm part of your soul
no no no noooo

You've been expecting me
Because I am always around
I am refractory
And I'm armed with a bludgeon of doubt

Try to stare me in the eye and make me blink
try to run towards me now and make me shrink
'cause I never know what I'll do
with a mess like you
with a mess like you
with a mess like you
with a mess like you

MOTIVATION

 


There's several stages after a break up, the pain, the despair, and the anger. I'm not one to be angry for long but this one was written out of anger, as in me being frustrated about what was said to me yet every single thing she denied about herself became blatantly obvious in talks, and later discussions and fights we had. I could never force myself to writing a song with truly hateful feelings, I never really had them to begin with. Anger, frustration were there, but that's about it.

 


  

EXPLANATION

 

 

I rarely write lyrics in which the subject isn't obvious but this is one where people have interpreted them in their own way, which is nice for a change. For this reason I'm not going to talk what it is about, I'll leave this one up to you. It's definitely not me stalking someone though, let me be clear on that. I'm not that batshit crazy.
