Problem Child
Trust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm hot
And when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
See me comin'
Step aside
Or pay the price
What I want I take
What I don't I break
And I don't want you
With a flick of my knife
I can change your life
There's nothing you can do

Cause I'm a Problem Child

Make my stand
No man's land
On my own
Man in blue
It's up to you
The seed is sown
What I want I stash
What I don't I smash
N' you're on my list
Dead or alive
Got a .45
N' I never miss

Cause I'm a Problem Child

Every night
Street light
I drink my booze
Some run
Some fight
I win they lose
What I need I like
What I don't I fight
N' I don't like you
So say bye bye
While your still alive
Cause your time is due

Line by Line Meaning

I'm hot
I am confident and self-assured


And when I'm not
But sometimes I struggle with my emotions


I'm cold as ice
And can come across as heartless


See me comin'
Others are intimidated by my presence


Step aside
They know it's best not to cross me


Or pay the price
As I don't hesitate to use violence to get what I want


What I want I take
I have no empathy for others and will take what I want without considering the consequences


What I don't I break
And will destroy anything that stands in my way


And I don't want you
I have no interest in forming connections or relationships


With a flick of my knife
I am always armed and a dangerous person to cross


I can change your life
I am not afraid to use violence to exert control over others


There's nothing you can do
And I won't hesitate to use my power over others to get what I want


Cause I'm a Problem Child
Because of my behavior, others view me as troublesome and difficult to deal with


Make my stand
I am fiercely independent and will fight for what I believe in


No man's land
I don't belong to any group or organization


On my own
And prefer to operate independently


Man in blue
The police try to stop me but I won't be easily caught


It's up to you
Whether or not you can stop me is up to you


The seed is sown
I am always plotting my next move or scheme


What I want I stash
I always make sure to take care of my own needs first, even if it means hoarding resources


What I don't I smash
And will destroy anything that I don't find useful


N' you're on my list
If you cross me, you'll end up on my hit list


Dead or alive
And I won't stop until I've achieved my goal


Got a .45
I always carry a gun with me for protection


N' I never miss
And am a skilled marksman


Every night
I am always up to no good


Street light
Out in the streets, breaking the law


I drink my booze
And use alcohol to numb myself from the guilt of my actions


Some run
Others try to avoid me


Some fight
But the ones who challenge me always lose


I win they lose
Because I am always one step ahead


What I need I like
I am a hedonist who is always after pleasure


What I don't I fight
And will use violence to get what I want


N' I don't like you
I have no interest in being kind or respectful to others


So say bye bye
And if you're in my way, you're in trouble


While your still alive
You still have a chance to get out of my way and avoid the consequences


Cause your time is due
But if you don't, the consequences will be severe


Cause I'm a Problem Child
Because of my behavior, others view me as a nuisance and a threat
