Santigold Lyrics

What I'm searching for
The singer is expressing her desire for something specific

To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
The singer is trying to protect herself from negative influences in her life

Walking by myself
The singer is living her life independently

Down avenues that reek of time to kill
The singer is referencing the boredom and monotony of everyday life

If you see me keep going
The singer is asking others to ignore her and not bother her

Be a pass by waver
The singer wants others to simply pass her by

Build me up, bring me down
The singer is weary of people who try to manipulate her emotions

Just leave me out you name dropper
The singer dislikes people who name-drop or use others for their own gain

Stop trying to catch my eye
The singer wants to be left alone and not notice other people trying to interact with her

I see you good you forced faker
The singer doesn't like people who are fake, especially if they try to force it

Just make it easy
The singer wants her interactions with others to be simple and easy

You're my enemy you fast talker
The singer sees people who are always talking as her enemies

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
The singer is uncertain if what she is doing is worth the sacrifices she is making

If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
The singer wishes to be more confident and assertive in standing up for her beliefs

What am I here for
The singer questions her purpose in life

I left my home to disappear is all
The singer left home to escape her old life and start anew

I'm here for myself
The singer is living her life for herself and not for others

Not to know you
The singer doesn't care to get to know others

I don't need no one else
The singer is content being alone and doesn't need anyone else in her life

Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
The singer hopes to blend in with others so well that they won't remember her

You don't know me
The singer is emphasizing that others don't truly know who she is

I am an introvert an excavator
The singer is introverted and likes to dig deep into herself for inspiration

I'm duckin' out for now
The singer wants to take a break from socializing for the time being

A face in dodgy elevators
The singer feels like she blends in with the crowd in sketchy situations

Creep up and suddenly
The singer is referring to a moment of inspiration or realization

I found myself
The singer has discovered something about herself

An innovator
The singer sees herself as a creative and original thinker

Change, change, change
The singer is calling for change and transformation

I want to get up out of my skin
The singer wants to break free from her old self

Tell you what
The singer is switching gears or changing the subject

If I can shake it
The singer believes that she can overcome her current state

I'm 'a make this
The singer is determined to achieve her goal

Something worth dreaming of
The singer wants to create something that is inspiring and worthwhile
