Veto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't believe
That you're asking me this
Do you really want me
To answer this

Yes, I guess I
Feel like I am trapped
Yes, I guess I sometimes

Feel like my life
Has already been mapped

refrain:
But there are thing's
That are best left unsaid
And I have thoughts
That are best kept
Inside my head

Yes I want to elope sometimes
Pack my stuff
And escape sometimes

But I couldn't be
More satisfied
Than I am right now
But sometimes I doesn't
Feel right to feel good
Sometimes it feels
Like there should have been more

I want you to stop this right now
You're not getting anywhere anyhow

Yes I sometimes

Feel like a man feels
When a man is trapped

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Veto's song "Crooks" evoke a feeling of being trapped and wanting to escape from one's current situation. The opening lines reveal the singer's disbelief that someone would ask them a certain question, possibly a personal one. The singer then admits to feeling trapped and that their life may have already been predetermined, indicating a sense of helplessness.

In the refrain, the singer acknowledges that there are thoughts that are better left unsaid and kept inside their head. This could suggest a fear of judgement or a lack of trust in those around them. The singer then expresses a desire to escape and elope, but also admits to feeling satisfied with their current life. However, there is a hint of dissatisfaction, as the singer mentions feeling like there should have been more to their life.

The song ends with the singer telling someone to stop trying to get somewhere, implying a lack of progress or change. The final lines echo the opening lines, with the singer once again expressing a feeling of being trapped. Overall, the lyrics of "Crooks" convey a sense of frustration and longing for freedom, while also acknowledging the sometimes fleeting nature of happiness.

Line by Line Meaning

I just can't believe
I am surprised that you are asking me this.

That you're asking me this
I am being questioned about something.

Do you really want me
Are you genuinely interested in my response?

To answer this
Replying to the query might be challenging.

Yes, I guess I
It is possible that I

Feel like I am trapped
May feel confined or restricted.

Yes, I guess I sometimes
Perhaps at times I

Feel like my life
Sensation of existence

Has already been mapped
Feels predetermined, like every step planned.

But there are thing's
Certain things

That are best left unsaid
Some truths are better not spoken.
