Lyrics
Paraphrased
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Paraphrased
Can't be quoted it's hard to say
Paralyzed
Doesn't move it just blinks its eyes
Paranoid
Just another trap to avoid
Parallel
Never crosses, goes straight as hell
It's child-like persuading
It's night-time lactating
It's pre-season training
Object
A doorman's composure
A patient's disclosure
Imposter's exposure
Subject
Understood
No confession, you said it good
Undeclared
Doesn't know if it's live or dead
Undesired
Cannot see that its charm expired
Unconcerned
When interest cannot be returned
It's christened, the entry
It's paid off this century
It's here, evidently
Object
An actor portraying
A cleric obeying
Informer betraying
Subject
Sometimes my
Thoughts are infrequent explosions
Sometimes I
Drop definition from my words
Sometimes my
Speech recalls moments of violence
Sometimes I
Can't be repeated, I can't be
Paraphrased
No
