In this intriguing track, A Perfect Circle delves into the persona of a deceptive individual, often referred to as "The Contrarian." The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who manipulates through charm and deceit, akin to a magician using sleight of hand. This character's intentions are as dark and insidious as heroin, suggesting a deep-rooted malevolence that is both addictive and destructive. Listeners are warned to be wary of his superficial warmth and charisma, which mask his true intentions. Ultimately, the song serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting someone whose core values are fundamentally misaligned with one's own. #Deception #CautionaryTale
The Contrarian
Lyrics
Hello, he lied
Like velvet, this magician's sleight of tongue and hand
Hello, he lied
Beware, belie his smile
As warm and calculated as heroin
Beware the contrarian
Within everyone
A scale, a voice
Everyone but him
Core is black as pitch
Soul is out of tune
Advocate of none
Beware, belie his smile
Will cost you everything
Cloak and masquerade is contempt for everyone
Hello, hello, he lied
Hello, he lied
Like velvet, this magician's sleight of tongue and hand
Hello, he lied
Beware, belie his smile
As warm and calculated as heroin
Beware the contrarian
