The subject of the song is liberalism and the liberal status quo.
[Verse 1]
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
{ this opening verse is about the how liberals are subconsciously haunted by their victims in the imperial periphery and global south, unable to admit the historical materialist analysis of their political ideology }
[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I’ll watch as you’re leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
{ This is about how liberalism offers no real alternative to the status quo, only a march towards fascism, and how real progressive political ideology starts to recognize this, abandoning liberalism in the face of these faults }
[Chorus]
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
{ this is about Trump staring at the sun, but the media/Dems unable to admit how they elevated him to the presidency }
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I’m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
{ pedos and the ruling class are united in liberalism and the destruction of the working class }
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I’ll watch as you’re leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
{ Both parties are liberal, they just puts on different masks of altruism to cover their vile shared nature, revolution is the only alternative }
[Chorus]
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
{ liberalism maintains the status quo while claiming to be the only savior, VOTE! }
[Bridge]
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
“She’s laughing up at us from Hell”
{ even through revolution, liberalism is irredeemable, it must be killed, and it’s tools abandoned if we are to escape its hell world }
[Breakdown]
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
{ the masses are starting to see the necessity of revolution as inevitable }
[Chorus]
It’s me, hi (Hi)
I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
{ :vote: Blue No Matter Genocide }
Part of the song references Knives Out, so maybe it’s not too far off.
