Theories Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you ever tell 'em how you wound up in that chair?
(“Wound up in that chair?” Could refer to an electric chair, as the person being spoken to is inferred to be a criminal.)
Did you sneak in the lair while the king wasn't there?
Did you make 'em all aware sometimes life isn't fair
When you slaughtered the heir though he asked to be spared?
Did you make 'em think that God had something on his mind?
Did he make a design that went outside the lines?
For when danger shows a sign and you leave me to die
I'll rehearse all my lines just one more time
(This is the part where more of the abuse begins to come into play. The Narrator mentions how the Abuser leaves the narrator left to rot whenever anything frustrates them, and the narrator is just left repeating the same things in their head to justify the abuse.)
[Bridge]
I really don't know
(What else can I say?)
I'm just not sure
(This first part of the bridge is expressing the confusion involved when being in an abusive relationship. You often ask yourself if it’s even as bad as you think it is or if you are making it up in your head.)
I wasn't involved
(Could've been a knife.)
It could've been anyone
(This second part of the bridge is the narrator justifying the abuser’s actions. ‘Could’ve been a knife’ is referencing how it could’ve been physical, or a if it was physical it could’ve been worse. While ‘It could’ve been anyone’ is referencing how anyone would’ve snapped on the narrator; and that it couldn’t possibly be the abuser’s fault.)
Well the way things go
Are you so surprised?
Mr. Universe
Had us hypnotized?
(At this point is when the narrator blames themself for being ‘hypnotised’ by ‘Mr. Universe’, most likely referring to the abusers attractive looks, higher status, or overwhelming charm that would lead the narrator into being ‘hypnotised’.)
Did you still love him when he blew that lid?
Well rumor has it that the concubine did!
(Concubine means, (in polygamous societies), a woman who lives with a man but has lower status than his wife or wives, or a mistress.)
[Chorus]
How can disaster seem so divine?
Why am I waiting on bad fortune?
(The narrator questions why they continue to talk to the abuser, as they have nothing but bad for the narrator. The narrator continuously comes back to the abuser, and even anticipates seeing them as if ‘waiting on bad fortune.’)
Burnt to the ground but everything's fine
'Cause every mistake you make is mine
(The narrator acknowledges that everything is terrible, but brushes it off, and blames it all on themself.)
[Verse 2]
(If you wear headphones while listening to this section, the lines alternate between being on the left speaker and the right one. This suggests a dialogue between two characters. The “institution” line in this verse could relate to the “criminal” slant in the first line, or possibly the protagonist is “not right in the head”. You decide.)
Swallow your fears now, here we go
(The narrator, at this point, finally decides to call for help being desperate for some way out. They swallow their fears though, knowing that if the abuser finds out it’d end badly for them.)
Can I ask who's calling?
Who wants to know?
(The narrator seemingly hasn’t talked to anyone else in a rather long time, calls up a friend or something similar who hasn’t spoken to them in so long they can’t remember who they are.)
I've got a man that's not quite right in the head
Are you sure you didn't mean to call the cops instead?
(The narrator confesses to the other person that they are in an abusive situation. The other person confused just wonders why the narrator is calling up them and not the police, and proceed to report it.)
Doctor don't lock him in an institution!
If you want home care there's only one solution:
Teach your man life isn't fair
(At this point, the narrator’s abuse begins to show, and they become worried for the Abuser as the doctor is going to lock him in a mental institution for his state of mind. The doctor mentions to the narrator that there’s only one solution to this, which is to get the abuser to stop and realize not everyone has to cave in to his every will.)
Everybody knows but no one cares
(At this point, everybody knows that the narrator was in an abusive relationship but no one takes the time to care about the narrator or stop the cycle of abuse. This, makes the narrator still feel entitled to come crawling back to the abuser, as it’s not like anyone cares.)
How can disaster seem so divine?
Why am I waiting on bad fortune?
(The narrator questions why they continue to talk to the abuser, as they have nothing but bad for the narrator. The narrator continuously comes back to the abuser, and even anticipates seeing them as if ‘waiting on bad fortune.’)
Burnt to the ground but everything's fine
'Cause every mistake you make is mine
(The narrator acknowledges that everything is terrible, but brushes it off, and blames it all on themself.)
[Verse 3]
Did you tell 'em 'bout the promises you're gonna break?
All the choices you'll make and the steps that you'll take
To ensure that what's at stake are the things you'll forsake
Big surprise that the snake'll turn out to be fake
(The narrator thinks about what the abuser has done, the promises that they’ve broken, and the lengths they have gone to make sure that anyone but them is at stake. The narrator mocks themself for believing in everything, and how big of a surprise it is that this snake is a fake, possibly referring to the snake as the abuser.)
Do you think about the consequences that you'll leave
When you con and deceive and the people believe
Sure that they're the ones to grieve over what you achieve
All the plans you conceive and the plots that you weave
(The narrator wonders if the abuser ever has to face consequences to anything that they’ve done or if they just get away with it all. They wonder if they’re just another sheep that got deceived in the abusers master plan.)
[Bridge]
I really don't know
(What else can I say?)
I'm just not sure
(This first part of the bridge is expressing the confusion involved when being in an abusive relationship. You often ask yourself if it’s even as bad as you think it is or if you are making it up in your head.)
I wasn't involved
(Could've lost my life.)
It could've been anyone
(This second part of the bridge, in the second bridge is still the narrator justifying the abuser’s actions; but it gets much darker. ‘Could’ve lost my life’ is referring to how it was physical, but they could’ve died so it’s okay right?)
Well the way things go
Are you so surprised?
Mr. Universe
Had us hypnotized?
(At this point is when the narrator blames themself for being ‘hypnotised’ by ‘Mr. Universe’, most likely referring to the abusers attractive looks, higher status, or overwhelming charm that would lead the narrator into being ‘hypnotised’.)
Did you still love him
When he let you down?
(Well rumor has it what goes around comes around.)
(The narrator time and time again still loves the abuser even when he lets them down heavily, hoping that the abuser will still love the narrator, referring to ‘what goes around comes around.’)
[Chorus]
How can disaster seem so divine?
Why am I waiting on bad fortune?
(The narrator questions why they continue to talk to the abuser, as they have nothing but bad for the narrator. The narrator continuously comes back to the abuser, and even anticipates seeing them as if ‘waiting on bad fortune.’)
Burnt to the ground but everything's fine
'Cause every mistake you make is mine
(The narrator acknowledges that everything is terrible, but brushes it off, and blames it all on themself.)

理论(Theories)
[第 1 节]
你有没有告诉他们你是怎么坐在那张椅子上的?
(“Wound up in that chair?”可以指电椅,因为被说话的人被推断为罪犯)
你是不是趁国王不在的时候偷偷溜进了巢穴?
你让他们都知道有时候生活是不公平的吗?
当你屠杀继承人的时候,他却要求饶恕他?
你让他们以为上帝有什么心事吗?
他做了一个超出线条的设计吗?
因为当危险显示了一个迹象,你让我死
我会再排练一遍我所有的台词
(这是更多虐待开始发挥作用的部分。 叙述者提到施虐者如何在任何事情让他们感到沮丧时让叙述者腐烂,而叙述者只是在他们的脑海中重复同样的事情来证明虐待的合理性。)
[Bridge]
我真的不知道
(我还能说什么?)
我只是不确定
(这座桥的第一部分是表达在虐待关系中所涉及的混乱。 你经常问自己,如果它甚至像你想象的那样糟糕,或者如果你在你的脑海中编造它。)
我没有参与
(可能是一把刀。)
可能是任何人
(桥的第二部分是叙述者为施虐者的行为辩护。 "可能是一把刀"指的是它如何可能是身体上的,或者如果它是身体上的,它可能会更糟。 虽然"可能是任何人"是指任何人都会对叙述者厉声;而且这不可能是施虐者的错。)
事情是这样的
你这么惊讶吗?
宇宙先生
我们被催眠了吗?
(在这一点上,叙述者指责自己被"宇宙先生""催眠",很可能是指滥用者有吸引力的外表,更高的地位或压倒性的魅力,这将导致叙述者被"催眠"。)
当他吹了那个盖子的时候,你还爱他吗?(当他揭开盖子时,你还爱他吗?)
有传言说是妾做的!
(妾是指(在一夫多妻制的社会中)与男人生活在一起但地位低于他的妻子或妻子或情妇的女人。)
[合唱]
灾难怎么会显得如此神圣?
我为什么要等坏运气?
(叙述者质疑为什么他们继续与施虐者交谈,因为他们除了对叙述者不利之外什么都没有。 叙述者不断地回到施虐者身边,甚至期待看到他们好像在等待厄运。)
被烧成灰烬但一切都很好
因为你犯的每一个错误都是我的
(叙述者承认,一切都是可怕的,但刷掉它,并把它归咎于自己。)
[第2节]
(如果您在收听本节时戴耳机,则线在左侧扬声器和右侧扬声器之间交替。 这表明两个角色之间的对话。 这节经文中的"机构"行可能与第一行中的"犯罪"倾斜有关,或者可能是主角"头部不对"。 你决定吧。)
现在吞下你的恐惧,开始吧
(叙述者,在这一点上,最终决定呼吁帮助是绝望的一些出路。 尽管如此,他们还是吞下了恐惧,因为他们知道如果施虐者发现,这对他们来说会很糟糕。)
我能问问是谁打来的吗?
谁想知道?
(叙述者似乎很长一段时间没有和其他人交谈过,打电话给一个朋友或类似的人,他们很长一段时间没有和他们说话,他们不记得他们是谁。)
我有个脑子不太对劲的人
你确定你不是故意报警吗?
(叙述者向另一个人承认他们处于虐待状态。 另一个人困惑只是想知道为什么叙述者打电话给他们而不是警察,并继续报告。)
医生别把他关在医院里!
如果你想要家庭护理,只有一个解决方案:
教你的男人生活不公平
(在这一点上,叙述者的虐待开始表现出来,他们变得担心施虐者,因为医生要把他锁在精神病院里,以保持他的心态。 医生向叙述者提到,只有一个解决方案,那就是让施虐者停下来,意识到不是每个人都必须屈服于他的每一个意志。)
每个人都知道,但没有人在乎
(在这一点上,每个人都知道叙述者处于虐待关系中,但没有人花时间关心叙述者或停止虐待的循环。 这使得叙述者仍然觉得有权回到施虐者身边,因为它不像任何人关心。)
灾难怎么会显得如此神圣?
我为什么要等坏运气?
(叙述者质疑为什么他们继续与施虐者交谈,因为他们除了对叙述者不利之外什么都没有。 叙述者不断地回到施虐者身边,甚至期待看到他们好像在等待厄运。’)
被烧成灰烬但一切都很好
因为你犯的每一个错误都是我的
(叙述者承认一切都是可怕的,但把它刷掉,并将其归咎于他们自己。)
[第3节]
你告诉他们你要违背的诺言了吗?
你将做出的所有选择和你将采取的步骤
确保你会抛弃那些利害攸关的东西
大吃一惊那条蛇竟然是假的
(叙述者思考施虐者所做的事情,他们所违背的承诺,以及他们为确保除他们以外的任何人都处于危险之中而付出的努力。 叙述者嘲笑自己相信一切,这条蛇是假的,可能是指蛇是施虐者,这是多么大的惊喜。)
你想过你会离开的后果吗?
当你欺骗和欺骗,人们相信
确保他们是那些为你所取得的成就而悲伤的人
你设想的所有计划和你编织的情节
(叙述者想知道施虐者是否不得不面对他们所做的任何事情的后果,或者他们是否只是逃脱了这一切。 他们想知道他们是否只是另一只在滥用者总体规划中被欺骗的羊。)
[Bridge]
我真的不知道
(我还能说什么?)
我只是不确定
(这座桥的第一部分是表达在虐待关系中所涉及的混乱。 你经常问自己,如果它甚至像你想象的那样糟糕,或者如果你在你的脑海中编造它。)
我没有参与
(可能已经失去了我的生命。)
可能是任何人
(桥的第二部分,在第二座桥中仍然是叙述者为施虐者的行为辩护;但它变得更加黑暗。 "可能已经失去了我的生命"指的是它是如何物理的,但他们可能已经死了,所以没关系,对吧?)
事情是这样的
你这么惊讶吗?
宇宙先生
我们被催眠了吗?
(在这一点上,叙述者指责自己被"宇宙先生""催眠",很可能是指滥用者有吸引力的外表,更高的地位或压倒性的魅力,这将导致叙述者被"催眠"。)
你还爱他吗?
当他让你失望的时候
(有传言说发生的事情会发生。)
(叙述者一次又一次地仍然爱施虐者,即使他让他们沉重地失望,希望施虐者仍然会爱叙述者,指的是"周围发生的事情。’)
[合唱]
灾难怎么会显得如此神圣?
我为什么要等坏运气?
(叙述者质疑为什么他们继续与施虐者交谈,因为他们除了对叙述者不利之外什么都没有。 叙述者不断地回到施虐者身边,甚至期待看到他们好像在等待厄运。’)
被烧成灰烬但一切都很好
因为你犯的每一个错误都是我的
(叙述者承认,一切都是可怕的,但刷掉它,并把它归咎于自己。)
