Slow
Rumer & The Denials Lyrics

Am i an Experiment Or do i really exist
Questioning their own existence and whether they are being used as an experiment

Am i your Amusement I thought these trix were for kids
Wondering if they are being treated as a source of entertainment, despite not wanting to be

You want them to notice Make them roll around in bed Fuck who they took home Secretly wanting you instead
Being encouraged to pursue romantic relationships with people who are already taken

They see a faggot You need to get it through your head They don't like you They don't like you They all want you dead
Feeling ostracized and persecuted for their sexuality, with a fear of being killed due to hatred and intolerance

So why am I still here? Why am I still here? So why am I still here? Why am I still here?
Reflecting on why they are still struggling despite wanting to leave the situation

Bring your guitar to the party! Tonight you'll wear the Crown of clowns Liquor you up till you're stupid We'll photograph you falling down
Being pressured into attending social events that will make them feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, and potentially dangerous

I'm not your experiment Been down this road before Took a turn at self-loathing It fucked me to the core
Refusing to be an experiment or test subject, as previous experiences with similar situations have had a lasting negative impact on their mental health

I'm not an experience That you can put into a song You don't like me You don't like me You string me along
Rejecting the idea of being reduced to a mere experience or object of artistic expression, feeling hurt and deceived by those who lead them on

So why do I still care?? Why do I still care?? So why do I still care?? Why do I still care??
Confused about why they still feel invested in a situation that is consistently causing them harm

They don't like you They don't like you They all want you dead They don't like you They don't like you They all want you
Repeating a painful and threatening message that they have internalized, highlighting the severity of their anger and frustration

Don't say you love me Every time you see me I won't remember The next time
Expressing a feeling of being betrayed or manipulated by someone who claims to love them but does not show consistent care or attention
