Count Me In
Framing Hanley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can paint the picture pretty
But it serves as no disguise
Its only getting later now
And you've become a waste of time
The silver spoon won't feed your friends
Cause life tastes bitter when your eat with your hands
Count me in and I'll be the one
To take the knife out of your spine
Cause I know you'd be the first
To bury the blade deeper into mine
Into mine
Living on this charming life
You can write the prefect setting
But the story I'm not buying
We're only getting older now
And you've become a waste of time
The silver spoon won't feed your friends
Cause life tastes bitter when your eat with your hands
Count me in and I'll be the one
To take the knife out of your spine
Cause I know you'd be the first
To bury the blade, to bury the blade
Im counting on you to bury the blade
Count me in and I'll be the one
To take the knife out of your spine
Cause I know you'll be the one
To bury the blade but she's still in mine
Count me in and I'll be the one
To take the knife out of your spine
Cause I know you'd be the first
To bury the blade deeper into mine
Count me in, count me in
Count me in, count me in
To bury the blade deep in your spine
The song "Count Me In" by Framing Hanley addresses the theme of betrayal and friendship. The opening lyrics warning about the fragility of life and the emptiness of disguising a flawed character paint a picture of a person who has been betrayed. The lines "Count me in and I'll be the one to take the knife out of your spine, cause I know you'd be the first to bury the blade deeper into mine" allude to the singer's willingness to forgive and continue to support their friend even though they know that their friend might hurt them again. The verse "Living on this charming life, You can write the perfect setting, But the story I'm not buying" shows how the singer has become more aware of the falsehoods in their friend's life and warns that their friend's story does not convince them anymore.
The bridge talks about how material possessions do not equate to true friendships, and how the people who surround themselves in wealth often forget to value honest friends. The chorus is a repetitive reminder of the singer's willingness to stand by their friend, even though they know that their friend is capable of hurting them. The lyrics "Count me in" show the singer's desire to stay close to their friend despite everything that has happened. The song concludes with the same chorus. The song "Count Me In" is a powerful depiction of the complexity of human relationships and how people can still support one another even in difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
Cradle up there's a fragile life
Life is delicate and needs to be cared for
You can paint the picture pretty
You can try to make life look perfect
But it serves as no disguise
However, the truth cannot be hidden
Its only getting later now
Time is passing and life is moving on
And you've become a waste of time
You are not meaningful or productive
The silver spoon won't feed your friends
Wealth does not buy true friendship
Cause life tastes bitter when your eat with your hands
Life can be challenging without support from others
Count me in and I'll be the one
I will be there to support and help
To take the knife out of your spine
To remove the hurt you are causing
Cause I know you'd be the first
I understand that you would hurt me first
To bury the blade deeper into mine
In an attempt to cause even more pain
Living on this charming life
People can pretend their life is perfect
You can write the prefect setting
They can create an ideal scenario
But the story I'm not buying
However, I see through this façade
We're only getting older now
Time is passing and we are aging
And you've become a waste of time
You have not contributed to anything substantial
Count me in and I'll be the one
I want to help and be involved
To take the knife out of your spine
I want to ease your pain
Cause I know you'll be the one
I know that you will cause me harm
To bury the blade but she's still in mine
You are still hurting me, despite my attempts to help
Count me in, count me in
I am dedicated to helping
To bury the blade deep in your spine
I am willing to endure pain to help others
