Face To Face
Transmatic Lyrics

Call the police or let the neighbors hear you scream
You crave attention and drama, so you're willing to cause a scene even if it means involving the authorities or your neighbors.

Your center of attention.
Your need for attention and drama is so great that it's become the primary focus and purpose in your life.

Settle out of court, don't want to make a scene.
You're concerned that if you take a dispute to court, it'll publicly expose your behavior and damage your image or status.

Automatic reputation.
Your behavior has created a reputation for you among others, without you having to actively create or manage it.

Guided by voices and led by thieves
You're influenced and controlled by external forces, like peer pressure or societal expectations.

Don't move to California
California is known for its liberal culture and free thinking, which conflicts with your need to conform and seek approval from others.

And sell me out, cause I won't, sell me out
You're willing to betray others to protect yourself, but you expect others to stay loyal to you regardless of their own interests.

Say what you want to face to face or nothing matters at all.
You demand that others be direct and honest with you, and refuse to acknowledge or respond to indirect communication or hints.

That's what you get.
You believe that others should be punished or held accountable for being indirect or dishonest with you.

Don't talk around it.
You have no patience for indirect language or hints, and believe that others should communicate clearly and directly with you.

Stop reading my mind and make the telephone ring
You want others to initiate contact with you rather than you having to do the work or make the first move. You also dislike when others anticipate your thoughts and feelings without being told directly.

Waiting for the white out.
You're hoping that a disaster or crisis will happen to distract others from your behavior or draw attention away from you.

Put your soul on ice cause you can't come clean
You're incapable or unwilling to be honest with yourself or others about your behavior or motivations, so you're repressing or concealing your true feelings.

It takes one to fake one,
You're projecting your own fakeness onto others because you recognize it in yourself.

Forget about it.
You want to dismiss or ignore any personal or interpersonal issues or responsibilities and move on without addressing them.

At seventeen I had a break down, a psychic reading and a new sound.
You had a major personal crisis that led you to seek external guidance or validation, and you changed your behavior or appearance to match a new identity.

I want to talk about the clear blue mourning
You're fixated on a personal loss or trauma, and want to talk about it with others to help process your feelings.

You read it, get it? Oh now forget about it.
You're testing others to see if they understand your behavior or motivations, but ultimately don't want to continue discussing or acknowledging it.
