Powder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody need a sister and brother
I'm a winner I'm a loser I'm a number
I got a situation pending
It's all an illusion
Cause that's what you said
It's part of the process
I'm starting to fuse them
I'm wise on the topic
Of constant confusion
I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again
How'd I get up here
I always thought
I'd end up way down there
Only I would stop to even care
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Doing favors for the neighbor in the backyard
Watching over leaning over in the front yard
I give them money and I don't know where it's going
Another situation pending
Abusive conditions
A means to an ending
Controlling the system
I'm always depending
On hearsay it's bullshit
Mixed signals your sending
I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again
How'd I get up here
They told me I would
End up way down there
Only god herself would even dare
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's all an illusion
Cause that's what you said
It's part of the process
I'm starting to fuse them
I'm wise on the topic
Of constant confusion
I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you again
How'd I get up here
I always thought
I'd end up way down there
Only I would stop to even care
How'd I get up here
(oh oh oh oh)

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's psychological state, describing the confusion and mixed emotions they feel towards someone they love. The chorus, "How'd I get up here, I always thought I'd end up way down there, only I would stop to even care," further showcases the singer's feelings of uncertainty and insecurity.

The line "wise on the topic of constant confusion" hints that this might be a recurring theme in their life. The refrain "I love you, then I hate you, then I love you again" captures the topsy-turvy nature of their emotional state.

Unless you literally mean "a piece of a master", it's "masterpiece". I agree though. Can't believe SD was acceptable at one time.
