Pilot
Andy Barker P.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two can play this game
Ain't really how it goes
One of us insane
The other doesn't know
Coping with the pain
With something medical
Now I need my space
And yeah it's personal

Why you only want me till I reply
You just wanna love me in your free time
Talking 'bout some shit u never mean right
Showed me everything except the green light

Losing all my patience
You were always waiting
I'm the one who changed it
Left us feeling jaded

Soon i'll wake up
From this coma
I'm fighting
Never enough
And I'm stuck
Auto pilot

Fell out of love
No more friendship
No mileage
You're like a drug
And my blood
Doesn't like it

Soon i'll wake up
From this coma
I'm fighting
Never enough
And I'm stuck
Auto pilot

Fell out of love
No more friendship
No mileage
You're like a drug
And my blood
Doesn't like it

I contain all my paranoia
Numb to everything I left
Half a brain falling off my shoulders
Numb to everything I have

Leave me on my island
Bury me in silence
Told you it was all too much
Scheming while you got it
Eve I'm in your Garden
Looking but I'll never touch

Losing all my patience
You were always waiting
I'm the one who changed it
Left us feeling jaded

Soon i'll wake up
From this coma
I'm fighting
Never enough
And I'm stuck
Auto pilot

Fell out of love
No more friendship
No mileage
You're like a drug
And my blood
Doesn't like it

Soon i'll wake up
From this coma
I'm fighting
Never enough
And I'm stuck
Auto pilot

Fell out of love
No more friendship
No mileage
You're like a drug
And my blood
Doesn't like it

Soon i'll wake up
From this coma
I'm fighting
Never enough
And I'm stuck
Auto pilot

Fell out of love
No more friendship
No mileage
You're like a drug




And my blood
Doesn't like it

Overall Meaning

"Pilot" by Andy Barker P.I. is a song about a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics suggest that the singer has fallen out of love with their partner due to their erratic behavior. The lines "Two can play this game / Ain't really how it goes / One of us insane / The other doesn't know / Coping with the pain / With something medical" suggest that one of the partners has a mental health condition that is affecting the relationship. The singer needs their space, indicating that they need to break up with their partner. But the partner keeps coming back, only wanting to love the singer in their free time, and never meaning what they say. The singer feels stuck, as if stuck on autopilot.


The lyrics also touch on themes of addiction and codependency. The lines "You're like a drug / And my blood / Doesn't like it" suggest that the partner is addictive and toxic to the singer's well-being. The singer appears to have fallen out of love and lost their friendship with the partner, saying "No more friendship / No mileage." They realize that the relationship was not healthy from the beginning and that they were deceived, stating "Showed me everything except the green light." The song's title, "Pilot," may be referencing the idea of being on autopilot, or feeling like they are not in control of their own life anymore.


Line by Line Meaning

Two can play this game
We can both act as the antagonist in this situation


Ain't really how it goes
This isn't how things usually turn out


One of us insane
Either you or I are acting irrationally


The other doesn't know
One of us is unaware of the true intentions


Coping with the pain
Trying to deal with this emotional distress


With something medical
Utilizing medical help to cope


Now I need my space
I require time to myself


And yeah it's personal
This situation has become deeply personal to me


Why you only want me till I reply
You only seem to want me once I respond to your messages


You just wanna love me in your free time
You only desire to love me when convenient for you


Talking 'bout some shit u never mean right
Your words are insincere


Showed me everything except the green light
You displayed everything but the willingness to fully commit


Soon i'll wake up
Eventually I will awaken


From this coma
From this emotional state of mind


I'm fighting
I'm struggling to overcome this situation


Never enough
I never feel satisfied


And I'm stuck
I am trapped in this situation


Auto pilot
Mindlessly going through the motions


Fell out of love
I no longer have feelings of love


No more friendship
Our friendship no longer exists


No mileage
We are no longer making progress


You're like a drug
You are addictive


And my blood
You evoke a physiological response within me


Doesn't like it
My body is rejecting the impact you have on me


I contain all my paranoia
I keep all of my worries to myself


Numb to everything I left
I am emotionally desensitized to everything I have lost


Half a brain falling off my shoulders
My mind is scattered and deteriorating


Leave me on my island
Please allow me to be alone


Bury me in silence
Let me fade away without any commotion


Told you it was all too much
I warned you that this situation was overwhelming


Scheming while you got it
You are devising a plan while you still have control


Eve I'm in your Garden
I feel like I am in a vulnerable place


Looking but I'll never touch
I am observing but not acting


Losing all my patience
I am becoming increasingly agitated


You were always waiting
You had high expectations of me


I'm the one who changed it
I am responsible for the current state of things


Left us feeling jaded
We both feel cynical about this situation

i feel bad for andy , he has balls to step out of being a side kick hes not actually a bad actor plus hes VERY underated on conans show with his quick wit, i sometimes found him annoying on tonight show but im glad hes sitting next to the guests and conan again. its his record that hurts him , "hes just a side kick, his shows don't do much" that stuff can really hurt

I'm only watching this becoz of Tony Hale but I agree that NBC should have given this show a chance and let Andy take the lead. But I do believe that the show does lack a bit more creativity. But it is unfair that this charming show is outrun by other useless and meaningless laugh-tracked sitcoms. Also Tony Hale is such a scene stealer!

Would have done much better as a 1 hour show on USA, but then it would have been too much like Psych.
