Menace
Mr. J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much your soul give way
All the love long take form of a sentence
Pray fragments show for a break
Show your deuce hit clubs where the ten is
Do the topspin score for the pain
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way
How much your soul give way
All the love long take form of a sentence
Pray fragments show for a break
Show your deuce hit clubs where the ten is
Do the topspin score for the pain
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way
I assume when they say pretty hurts
They meant the hooked not the ring
Fool's gold look good in the dirt
But wear and tear blistering
Gained rough hands to make it work
And yet my strength withering
The roses are dying
Your tulips keep lying
While my two lips eyeing
The shape of your island
Your waters keep flooding
Am I posed to be licking your wounds or under your stomach
Emotionally punching
The size of my shoulders can't carry my heart if it plummet
Earth isn't crumbling
But why does our world keep on playing the sounds of a trumpet
Increase the percussion
Cuz I can't keep crashing into the one thing I'm in love with
Rivals play home and away
Both hate into enemies
Both already know how they play
Just like when you facing me
Mirrors can't fool anything
Reflect on who you were being
Hot heads get cool when they're seeing
The real side that knew you were fleeting
Baby I'm dying can't cover these scars
Baby stop crying I'm parking the car
We can't keep lying this bad for the heart
When I pump the brakes and you drifting afar
You love the crash course you call it your art
The picture don't paint how we really depart
Delaying red flags and the luggage from start
Just to unload when the clock fits you sharp
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way
All the love long take form of a sentence
Pray fragments show for a break
Show your deuce hit clubs where the ten is
Do the topspin score for the pain
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way
All the love long take form of a sentence
Pray fragments show for a break
Show your deuce hit clubs where the ten is
Do the topspin score for the pain
Fall into lies with the love of a menace
How much your soul give way

Fool's gold look good in the dirt
False attractiveness appears appealing in unfavorable circumstances
But wear and tear blistering
However, the continuous strain and damage become painful
Gained rough hands to make it work
Acquiring calloused hands through hard labor to sustain the relationship
And yet my strength withering
Despite that, my resilience and power gradually diminish
The roses are dying
The love and beauty are fading away
Your tulips keep lying
Your words and promises remain deceitful
While my two lips eyeing
Meanwhile, I'm attentively observing and analyzing the situation
The shape of your island
The nature and essence of the isolated world you've created
Your waters keep flooding
The overwhelming emotions and troubles continue to overrun
Am I posed to be licking your wounds or under your stomach
Am I expected to either tend to your pain or be subservient to you

The size of my shoulders can't carry my heart if it plummet
My strength and resilience are insufficient to withstand the devastation of a broken heart
Earth isn't crumbling

Yet, why does our relationship continue to reverberate with conflict and turmoil
Increase the percussion
Intensify the chaos and unrest
Cuz I can't keep crashing into the one thing I'm in love with
Because I can't bear repeatedly colliding with the person I deeply care for
Rivals play home and away
Our opponents compete on both their turf and ours
Both hate into enemies
Both of us transform our animosity into enmity
Both already know how they play
We are well aware of each other's tactics and strategies
Just like when you facing me
Similar to when you confront me
Mirrors can't fool anything
Reflective surfaces can't deceive or disguise the truth
Reflect on who you were being
Contemplate your true character and actions
Hot heads get cool when they're seeing
Fiery tempers subside when you realize the reality
The real side that knew you were fleeting
The genuine part of me that sensed your impermanence
Baby I'm dying can't cover these scars
Darling, I'm slowly fading away, unable to conceal the wounds inflicted upon me
Baby stop crying I'm parking the car
Sweetheart, please stop shedding tears, I'm ending this relationship
We can't keep lying this bad for the heart
We can't continue deceiving ourselves, as it's detrimental to our emotional well-being
When I pump the brakes and you drifting afar
When I abruptly halt the relationship, and you start drifting away
You love the crash course, you call it your art
You are drawn to the turbulent and destructive nature of our relationship, considering it your form of expression
The picture don't paint how we really depart
The image we project doesn't accurately depict the painful way we're separating
Delaying red flags and the luggage from start
Ignoring warning signs and emotional baggage right from the beginning
Just to unload when the clock fits you sharp
Only to reveal the burdens when it suits your timing perfectly
