This track delves into the emotional turmoil of being caught in a toxic relationship or situation. The term "monkey wrench" symbolizes the role the singer feels pressured into, where he's only used to fix problems or manipulated for others' benefits. He expresses his desire to escape this situation rather than endure further suffering. The lines "What do you do when all your enemies are friends?" highlight the confusion and betrayal experienced when trusted individuals turn against him. The song is a powerful anthem of self-assertion and breaking free from oppressive circumstances. It's about refusing to be someone else's tool, taking control, and choosing freedom over constant conflict.
Monkey Wrench
Lyrics
What have we done with innocence?
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends?
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
Temper
Temper
Temper
One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more
Than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still, there's one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
