Play Fair
NOVA TWINS Lyrics

I don't play fair
The singer is unapologetically ruthless and immoral.

I, I was the making of ya
The singer played a role in the growth or development of the listener.

Now I'm scratching out your name, I'm burning all your paper

I I, I know I should know better

But getting through to you requires savage behavior
The artist feels that drastic measures are necessary to communicate with the listener.

You got too complacent
The listener has become too comfortable in their relationship with the singer.

I made some alterations

To your Fairlane 67

I think it looks much better
The artist believes their idea of an improvement was successful.

You think I'm outrageous
The listener sees the artist as acting beyond the bounds of acceptable behavior.

But I am just audacious
The singer sees their behavior as merely bold and daring.

No, revenge is never gracious
The artist acknowledges that their actions are not kind or forgiving.

Watch me throw it in your face
The singer is openly displaying their disregard for the listener.

I'm, I'm on accelerator
The singer is rapidly moving forward with their plan.

I'll set fire to your car for you to find it later

I I, I hate your pernicious vapour
The artist has a strong dislike for something the listener does or represents.

Watch me stomping on the street, I'm stepping on inhalers

But I've just lost my patience
The singer can no longer tolerate the behavior of the listener.

The consequence is fatal

You won't make that same mistake
The listener will regret their behavior and not repeat it.

Can't get me out of your head
The artist is a persistent presence in the listener's thoughts.

The thought haunts you at night

Who's creeping under your bed

I'm all you're thinking of
The artist dominates the listener's thoughts and attention.

Whose hands are covered in red
The singer and possibly the listener have blood on their hands.

Is it your blood or mine
The singer is questioning whose guilt is greater.

You push me over the edge
The listener's actions have caused the singer to take extreme measures.

But you're the one who dies
The listener will face the ultimate punishment for their actions.

Left you in paradise
The listener is left with the consequences of their poor choices.

(You ain't nothing, bitch I'm coming)
The singer is asserting their dominance and threatening the listener.

(I give you something, bitch keep running)
The singer is taunting the listener, daring them to continue running from their consequences.
