Words Of Wisdom
Snuff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mind is set
Now you can only stare through eyes that hate
The glass is broken
The scent is loose
You're pushing stale air into my lungs because...
Your invitation got lost in the post
You'll have to party alone this time
Paranoid in vain
You still watch your toes
You talk about pride
Well who trod on yours?
You recognise the song
But don't know the tune
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...
If you insist on pushing
Tunnel vision advice
I'll flip the joke on it's back
And laugh in your face this time
Your words of wisdom...
You keep on pushing
You go too far
You push, cling and bite
You can already taste those lies
You recognise the song
But the words are wrong
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...
Your words of wisdom impress me none
The opening lines of Snuff's Words of Wisdom suggest a conversation with someone whose mind is made up and who is now only capable of seeing through eyes of hatred. The glass is broken, the scent is loose, and stale air is being breathed in. The tone is resigned, almost defeated, implying that there has been an attempt to reach out and communicate that has failed. The second stanza suggests that the person being addressed is paranoid and still watching their toes, meaning that they are preoccupied with small matters, whilst claiming to talk about pride. The third stanza suggests that the person being addressed is pushing tunnel vision advice, implying that they are narrow-minded, which is why the singer may have lost patience and is ready to laugh in their face. The words of wisdom being imparted to the singer are ultimately unimpressive.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that communication has broken down and that the singer has encountered someone who is incapable of seeing beyond their own narrow perspective. The singer has tried to listen, but ultimately, their words of wisdom are unimpressive and result in the singer feeling frustrated and unable to engage in the conversation.
