Double Edge
Flux Pavilion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a time of the fallen lore
Only two powers governed the land
Good and evil

Oozing knives, super swab
But I see my mack black soaked up, super cut
Ever see that I’m ruthless and this one is a smash hit
Bubble straight through the glass
They ain’t touchin' me ‘cause I ain’t never runnin'
Sickened to my name and category, I ain’t number onin
Worst case scenario, is it won’t be a target
The message stood a happy ending, I’m coming
Come in and stop spraying through a keyhole
Wanna see me win this fight against evil
The tarots are only preying on the weak
I’ll have em on their knees in the long hall, cathedral
Yea, my head and mind drugged
They’re blowing it all the time but never when I flop
Sway fever, but it’s like hay fever
Eyes are wide open whenever I drop

I’m a savior here to save you
I’m a problem too, frustrating you
I’m all night here to contain you
I’m the part that’s still in plain view

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Oh shut up, I’ll introduce myself
I’m flowing like a Pitbull
I’ve the nark, its pung flying as a fistful
I’m the shore where the kids wanna watch
I’ve got the power to make them stay up late and miss school
Girls are like ah, in school
Confusing nothing about me, simple
I’m a bad mother shut your mouth
I’d trust the girls and give all the pretty ones raincoats
I’m so great, flying around with no cape, I’m so baked
I graffiti my name on sky scrapers
Heroes tell me to stop, I’m like shut up, gon' hate
I use my power for entertainment
Some of mind the way I gave a you’re an orgasm in home base
Why you gotta take my dog? get your own date
Why you’re here in my galaxy? get your own place

(I’m a savior here to save you
I’m a problem too, frustrating you)

I’m a savior here to save you
I’m a problem too, frustrating you
I’m all night here to contain you
I’m the part that’s still in plain view

I’m a savior here to save you
I’m a problem too, frustrating you
I’m all night here to contain you
I’m the part that’s still in plain view

I’m a savior here to save you
I’m a problem too, frustrating you




I’m all night here to contain you
I’m the part that’s still in plain view
