Stab Wounds
Accessory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You try to confiscate me
Want to manipulate me
Come closer for a while
I can regulate that

You try to penetrate me
Want to obligate me
Then you should remember
That hugs are not for free

You're running against a wall
Don't you see that
Gonna fight you till you fall
Into your self-spun web

You can hurt me and I'll bleed
You can wound me it's no feat
Don't support your ego-trip
My mind – you can't defeat

You know you can't control me
I despise the liar




Slipping through your fingers
You don't make me perspire

In the first verse, the songwriter describes a person trying to manipulate and control them. The lyrics suggest an aggressive attempt to dominate the individual being spoken to, but the subject of the song believes that they can "regulate" the situation. The next verse is a warning to the person with the control to remember that "hugs are not for free," which could be interpreted to mean that the individual won't be moved by empty gestures like kindness.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of not giving up and emphasizes the inevitable victory of the person over their oppressor. The second verse highlights the resilience of the human spirit, with the songwriter stating that "You can hurt me and I'll bleed...Don't support your ego-trip," meaning that even if the individual is wounded, the oppressor will not be able to take away their pride and determination.
