Female Robbery
The Neighbourhood Lyrics

I think I found hell
The singer has discovered a terrible reality.

I think I found something
The singer has made a disturbing discovery.

I think I found something in my TV screen
The singer's revelation came from watching something on TV.

I think I found out that I have nothing
The artist has realized that they lack true purpose or value.

That I have nothing in this place for me
The artist feels empty and disconnected from their surroundings.

I watched it all in my head, perfect sense
The singer had a clear understanding of the situation.

They'll take me from me my bed
The singer expects to be forcibly taken from their home.

Leave everything that is worth a single cent and just take me instead
The artist's captors will leave their possessions behind and take only the artist.

That TV show
The source of the artist's anxiety is a program on TV.

I saw as I feel asleep
The artist saw the TV show while drifting off to sleep.

Had me on both my knees
The TV show inspired a plea for divine intervention.

Praying to whatever is in heaven please send me a felon
The artist is desperate for someone to come save them from their situation.

And don't let the police know
The singer is afraid of the police finding out about their predicament.

Anything, anything
The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive.

Don't tell them anything
The singer is afraid of revealing information to their captors.

I think I can tell
The artist is unsure if they should reveal information.

I think I can tell them
The artist is considering confiding in their captors.

Tell them they were made for me
The singer wants their captors to believe they were meant to be taken.

I'm thinking they'll know, know it already
The singer believes their captors are aware of this fact.

I'm thinking they'll know just about everything
The artist assumes their captors are all-knowing.

I bet they planned it all out
The artist suspects their situation was orchestrated.

Like the shows
The artist believes their situation is similar to what they see on TV.

Went everywhere I go
The singer thinks their captors have been following them.

Walked into the store right behind me
The artist saw their captors walk into a store right after them.

Stood in line right beside me and followed me to my home
The singer believes their captors stayed close to them at all times.

I'm sure they figured it out early on
The singer thinks their captors were aware of their situation for a long time.

That I would never run
The singer does not believe they would attempt to escape.

That they could shoot but that's not fun
The artist's captors could use deadly force but choose not to.

'Cause then they're killing their stolen son
Killing the artist would destroy any purpose their captors have for holding onto them.

We're gonna die
The singer is resigned to their eventual fate.
