Pleased to Meet You
Call Me No One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These words and faces stripped away my soul again
The devil told you can justify your way through every thing
That's right I said it first escape is here fair weather friends
Damn I get the point, don't drive it home
(Please to meet you now I'm gone)
I fake a smile to everyone (just to get a rise)
So make your point and move along
(Please to meet you now I'm gone)
I see you think I'm special something cool and close to magical
I'm stuck here selling mud and dirt to the kids again
My angel saved me from the depths of hell I swear she really did
That's right you said it best - there's no escape for you my friend
The song "Pleased to Meet You" by Call Me No One is about a person who is trying to break free from toxic relationships and the negative influences around them. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the people who are using and manipulating them for their own gain. They challenge the person they are interacting with to make a decision about where they should go and what they should do. The singer accuses others of being fair-weather friends, meaning that they are only there for the good times and not there to support in the tough times.
The second verse talks about how the singer is pretending to be happy to appease everyone around them. They feel like they have to put on a facade just to keep everyone else content. They know that it's time to let go and not waste any more time on people who don't understand them. They talk about how they are stuck in a rut and don’t feel like they are living up to the expectations others have of them. They feel like they are selling themselves short and doing something insignificant by selling "mud and dirt to kids.” The song alludes to the fact that the singer has been held in a dark place before, but they were rescued by someone they refer to as their "angel" who helped them escape.
