Wind Up Lyrics

Why I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confessions, it's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind, I don't mind 'cause I'll catch up

Want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell?
Spare me the questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize I get shy and I choke up

Want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal?
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell, my sweet paramania
Farewell, my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet, take the beating until
I take it all back anyway
What was I supposed to say?

Want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal?
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

What is the Meaning of Wind Up?

Ever felt like life's a game of dodgeball where you're the only player without a ball? Foo Fighters channel that vibe in this track, exploring the tightrope walk between vulnerability and strength. The protagonist grapples with choices (bat or belt?), confessions, and societal expectations. They yearn for an indelible mark, something unforgettable, while fearing exposure of their true self—an inner beast they deem "terrible." This song is a rollercoaster of emotions, balancing rebellion with introspection and ending on a note of guarded resignation. #InnerStruggle #Vulnerability #RockAnthem
