Wet Blanket

Metric

[Verse 1] Falling for the creep the body leech here he comes Vicious hypnosis clenched fist saying it’s wrong To want more than a folk song Underneath the shaker knit he’s a brick wall She keep falling for the trick vegetariate sing-along Give a little kick with your fine thigh-high Do-do-do we’re on to you Tearing her down talking her down under your breath Making a mess See she is happy you wanna break it Do-do-do we’re on to you Tearing her down talking her down under your breath Making a mess See she is happy you wanna break it Do-do-do we’re on to you Your phony roots borrowed guitar Telling her what to think we are You’re the number one wet blanket Hardly a day goes by you don’t try to break down No I don’t buy it You’re still around I wonder why She just keeps [Verse 2] Falling for the creep the body leech here he comes Vicious hypnosis clenched fist saying it’s wrong To want more than a folk song Underneath the shaker knit he’s a brick wall She keep falling for the creep The body leech coming on Vicious hypnosis clenched fist saying It’s wrong to want more than a folk song I’m wrong to want more than a folk song I’m wrong to want more than a folk song Underneath the shaker knit he’s a brick wall She keep falling for the trick vegetariate sing-along Give a little kick with your fine thigh-high [Interlude] Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do [Verse 3] N.C. Do-do-do we’re on to you Tearing her down talking her down under your breath Making a mess See she is happy you wanna break it Do-do-do we’re on to you Your bathing suit borrowed guitar Telling her what to think we are You’re the number one wet blanket You’re still around I wonder why You’re still around I wonder why You’re the number one wet blanket [Outro]

La chanson évoque le sentiment de manipulation et de déception dans une relation, où l'un des partenaires utilise des tactiques sournoises pour contrôler l'autre. On y parle d'une personne qui se sent piégée par des promesses vides, rendant difficile le fait d'aspirer à quelque chose de plus profond que ce qui est proposé. Il explore cette dynamique toxique où l'énergie positive de l'autre est constamment sapée. Dans un contexte contemporain, cela résonne avec les luttes émotionnelles que beaucoup vivent dans leurs relations, où parfois, les gens tentent de rabaisser ceux qui sont heureux ou aspirent à plus. La chanson met donc en lumière les dangers de la manipulation émotionnelle et la lutte pour la liberté personnelle.
