Dragon
Little.Lazy.Lost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you want is what you get, until you see the truth instead
You can hibernate under a bridge
Pretend what I need is something you can give
Were we on fire, or was it fantasy
You were good, and you were bad
It's no one but me that makes me sad
Under that dress you were a dragon
Didn't see that tail over the mountain
Til everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
The dream of autumn mist won't last forever
What you see is what you are, but where you went is way too far
You can psychoanalyze me to death, just send me a bill for the diagnosis
You say you don't know me
But you know what's wrong with me
We were good, and we were bad
It's no one but me that makes me sad, right
Under that dress you were a dragon
Everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
Didn't see that tail over the mountain
Til everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
These lyrics appear to tell a story of a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The opening line, "The record player needle started skipping," sets a tone of interruption and instability. It suggests that something has gone wrong, disrupting the expected flow. The following lines, "What you want is what you get, until you see the truth instead," imply a realization of deception or false promises.
The mention of hibernating under a bridge and pretending to provide what is needed suggests a sense of hiding and pretending within the relationship. It could mean that one person is holding back their true self or true emotions, instead offering what they think the other person wants. The lines, "Were we on fire, or was it fantasy? You were good, and you were bad," indicate a mix of intense emotions and experiences within the relationship, perhaps oscillating between passion and confusion.
The metaphorical description of the person under a dress as a dragon suggests a hidden or dangerous side to their character. It indicates that there may have been unexpected and fearful aspects revealed within the relationship. The lines, "Everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened," emphasize the surprise or shock that comes from encountering these hidden aspects.
The repeated line, "It's no one but me that makes me sad," suggests a self-reflective realization that the singer is responsible for their own sadness. They acknowledge that their own thoughts or actions contribute to their emotional state. Overall, the lyrics convey a complex and challenging relationship, with elements of deception, self-discovery, and unexpected revelations.

The record player needle started skipping
The situation took an unexpected turn
What you want is what you get, until you see the truth instead
You only realize the reality after getting what you desired
You can hibernate under a bridge
You can hide from your problems
Pretend what I need is something you can give
Feigning the ability to provide what I truly require
Were we on fire, or was it fantasy
Uncertain whether our passion was genuine or imaginary
You were good, and you were bad
You had both positive and negative qualities
It's no one but me that makes me sad
I am responsible for my own unhappiness
Under that dress you were a dragon
Behind your facade, you were a dangerous and deceitful person
Everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
All my worst fears came true
Didn't see that tail over the mountain
Unaware of the hidden danger approaching
Til everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
Only when my worst fears came true did I realize I should have been scared
The dream of autumn mist won't last forever
The illusion of serenity will eventually fade
What you see is what you are, but where you went is way too far
Your actions define your true nature, but you went beyond acceptable limits
You can psychoanalyze me to death, just send me a bill for the diagnosis
You can analyze me extensively, but at least charge me for the service
You say you don't know me
You claim to have no understanding of who I am
But you know what's wrong with me
Despite your denial, you are aware of my flaws
We were good, and we were bad
Our relationship had moments of both kindness and toxicity
It's no one but me that makes me sad, right
I am solely responsible for my own sadness
Under that dress you were a dragon
Beneath your appearance, you possessed a manipulative and harmful nature
Everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
All my worst fears became a reality
Didn't see that tail over the mountain
Was oblivious to the danger approaching
Til everything I never thought I should have been afraid of happened
Only when my worst fears came true did I realize I should have been scared
