Scissorkiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simple, childlike
I would take you
Stunning, wild-like
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
I'm still stuck here
Stunning, blinding
You don't want to
I'm unwinding
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
I'm wasting away
Away...
Frozen, broken down, what have you got to offer now
You're too far gone, too far gone in this
I feel you spiraling downward
I feel your wonder and your sleepless paralysis
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Please open your eyes, open up your eyes
What will it take to wake you
What will it take to make you
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
I'm wasting away
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
I'm wasting away
The opening lines of Scissorkiss's song, "Tantrum," paint a picture of a whirlpool, a vortex that pulls one in, spinning and tumbling without any direction or control. The song is about feeling lost and seeking attention and validation from someone on whom the singer relies, but who appears to be out of reach. The usage of words like "simple" and "childlike" suggest an innocent desire for attention and affection, but the repetition of "Pay attention to me" throughout the song indicates frustration and desperation.
The singer reveals their deep-seated fears and insecurities by saying "I'm wasting away," indicating that without attention, they will wither away, just like how a plant wilts without water and sunlight. The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the singer's need for attention and validation by the person they address. The lines "Open your eyes, open your eyes, please open your eyes" suggest that the singer desires the person to pay attention to them and see their struggles, but also empathize with their situation.
The final lines of the song say "What will it take to wake you, what will it take to make you pay attention to me?" and convey that the singer is at their wit's end, unsure of what to do or say anymore. The desperation and longing present in the song make it relatable to anyone who has ever craved attention and validation from someone they admire or respect.

Away...
Drifting farther from where I want to be
Frozen, broken down, what have you got to offer now
Paralyzed and hopeless, what value do you have left?
You're too far gone, too far gone in this
You're too deeply entrenched in your current state
I feel you spiraling downward
I sense you slipping into despair
I feel your wonder and your sleepless paralysis
I understand your curiosity and your inability to act
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Become aware of what's happening
Please open your eyes, open up your eyes
I implore you to pay attention
What will it take to wake you
What event will trigger you to realize things need to change?
What will it take to make you
What action needs to occur for you to take control?

Lyrics for those who didn't understand:
[Verse 1: Ashnikko]
Riots on the TV, freeway, dirt bike, popping wheelies
They wanna keep it PG, all their daughters wanna be me (Ah)
I'm Georgia peachy, believe me, head out the window, it's breezy
They up my ass like bikinis, I'm not nice, I'm a meanie
[Pre-Chorus: Ashnikko & Slinger]
Ooh, sorry, mom and dad
I did something bad
Please don't get attached
There's no coming back (Break that motherf*****)
[Chorus: Ashnikko]
Break a heart like an eggshell, cardiac arrest, a heart attack (Yeah)
Throw a tantrum, baby, doll me up 'cause I'm a brat
I'm a handful, demidevil, pyromaniac
Bitch, I am one, throw a tantrum
[Post-Chorus: Ashnikko]
Bitch, I am one
Throw a tantrum
[Verse 2: Ashnikko]
Beauty pageant, make it tragic, blood dripping out my nose (Ew)
Leather jackets, bad habits, and we're revvin' to the full (Ah)
