Muddy Evil Plan
The Rubens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be wishing I had more time
To plan your escape
To lift that sadness away
If a smile
Would pull you back from the other side
I'd pinch both my cheeks
And tear them off of my face
Bucket of oil makes it slippery makes you hard to chase
Bucket of water washes everything
Muddy evil pain
When the time comes
Can I be the one to inspire
Make sure we're only drinking the spiked punch
And tipping out the lemonade
No that's not love
To play like its all part of the fun and games
Pretend like you were walking in front of me
Then kick the ladder away
Bucket of oil makes it slippery makes you hard to chase
Bucket of water washes everything
Muddy evil pain
Muddy evil
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
When the road splits
And you feel like you don't want any part of this
Paint cracks to show where the colour is
Give me another day
Bucket of oil makes it slippery makes you hard to chase
Bucket of water washes everything
Muddy evil pain
That muddy evil
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
Don't hold back
Don't be only living like a heart attack
Wash that muddy evil till the water runs black
Watch you be defeated
I won't stand for that
Stand for that
Don't hold back
Don't be only living like a heart attack
Wash that muddy evil till the water runs black
Watch you be defeated
I won't stand for that
Stand for that
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
Oooooohhh
Bucket of water
Muddy evil pain
Don't hold back
Don't be only living like a heart attack
Wash that muddy evil till the water runs black
Watch you be defeated
I won't stand for that
Stand for that
Don't hold back
Don't be only living like a heart attack
Wash that muddy evil till the water runs black
Watch you be defeated
I won't stand for that
Stand for that
The lyrics to The Rubens's song "Muddy Evil Plan" seem to be about a person who is deeply concerned for someone they care about. The singer expresses a desire to help this person escape their sadness and pain. They would do anything, even sacrifice their own happiness, to bring a smile back to their face. The line "bucket of oil makes it slippery makes you hard to chase, bucket of water washes everything, muddy evil pain" can be interpreted as the singer's attempt to find a solution to this person's troubles. The imagery of slippery oil and cleansing water suggests that they are trying different approaches to alleviate the pain, but are still struggling to find a solution.
The song also addresses the idea of love and what it means to truly care for someone. The line "that's not love, to play like it's all part of the fun and games" implies that pretending everything is okay when it's not is not a genuine expression of love. The singer wants to be there to inspire and support, not participate in a facade. The line "paint cracks to show where the color is" metaphorically suggests that true emotions can't be hidden forever and will eventually surface.
Overall, "Muddy Evil Plan" deals with themes of empathy, support, and the desire to help someone overcome their pain. It acknowledges the difficulties in finding the right approach and emphasizes the importance of genuine care and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
In a while
After some time has passed
I'll be wishing I had more time
I will regret not having enough time
To plan your escape
To strategize your liberation
To lift that sadness away
To remove and alleviate your sorrow
If a smile
If the act of smiling
Would pull you back from the other side
Could bring you back from a distant place
I'd pinch both my cheeks
I would forcefully squeeze my own cheeks
And tear them off of my face
And rip them apart from my own face
Bucket of oil makes it slippery makes you hard to chase
The presence of oil creates slipperiness and makes it difficult to pursue you
Bucket of water washes everything
A container filled with water cleanses all things
Muddy evil pain
Dirty and malevolent torment
When the time comes
When the appropriate moment arrives
Can I be the one to inspire
Can I be the motivating force
Make sure we're only drinking the spiked punch
Ensure that we are only consuming the intoxicating drink
And tipping out the lemonade
And discarding the non-alcoholic beverage
No that's not love
No, that does not resemble love
To play like its all part of the fun and games
To pretend that it is all just a playful activity
Pretend like you were walking in front of me
Act as if you were leading the way
Then kick the ladder away
Then intentionally remove the means of support
When the road splits
When the path divides
And you feel like you don't want any part of this
And you experience a lack of desire to be involved in this
Paint cracks to show where the colour is
Cracks in the paint reveal where the true essence lies
Give me another day
Grant me additional time
Don't hold back
Do not restrain yourself
Don't be only living like a heart attack
Do not exist solely in a state of fear and panic
Wash that muddy evil till the water runs black
Cleanse that impure malevolence until the water becomes dark
Watch you be defeated
Witness your surrender
I won't stand for that
I will not tolerate that
Stand for that
Accept that as the norm
