What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Caught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity
2
Mesmerized by the stare of your shallow personality
3
Gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around
4
Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around
5
Trapped in the personal hell of your own desperate addiction
6
Frightened that others can tell of your expensive affliction
7
With your happiness based on a chemical you wax lyrical with words so profound
8
When your indulgence reaches that level it's safest not to be around
9
Oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
10
Oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
11
Wrapped in the transparent lies of your desperate situation
12
You expound on imaginary ties expecting us to believe them
13
In the absence of concrete commitment
14
You've all the attention that money can buy
15
Not caring that those who still love you are callously thrown to one side
16
Oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
17
Oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
18
Oh narcissus you treacherous child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
19
Oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
20
Hey you dog man whelp of a litter of scavengers
21
Bolting the flesh of your victims with a ravenous greed
22
You work with your siblings up to a point
23
'Til your ego is sated or your wallet fulfilled
24
Jealously guarding the bones of your kill
25
With a malice that's born out of fear
26
Running with the pack your defence is to attack
27
But I detect you in your stealth because you've rolled in your own filth
28
You hope to gain my trust with your cowardly disguise
29
Whispering such confidences my revulsion to a-wreck
30
You call yourself my friend you call yourself my friend
31
And when I turn my back your fangs will feel my neck
32
What is your domain but a barn where your runts roll in the reek
33
You would seek to steel my freedom and have branded me a freak
34
I want nothing of your snarling mongrel strain your smarmy doggerel lies
35
And if these words have singed your fur consider yourself a whipped cur
36
Gorging the junk food of flattery you haul your fat ego around
37
Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around
38
Oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
39
Oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
