Fiona Apple - fetch the bolt cutters

화자는 친구로서의 관계에서 겪은 어려움과 그로 인한 상처를 이야기하며, 과거의 감정과 갈등을 풀고 싶어한다
'볼트 커터'를 찾으라는 반복적인 소구는 과거의 억압된 감정에서 벗어나고 싶다는 강한 열망을 나타낸다

I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend
I thought it was then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine
I was just so furious, but I couldn't show you
'Cause I know you and I know what you can do
And I don't want a war with you, I won't afford it
You get sore, even when you win
And you maim when you're on offense
But you kill when you're on defense
And you've got them all convinced
That you're the means and the end
All the VIPs and PYTs and wannabes
Afraid of not being your friend
And I've always been too smart for that
But you know what? My heart was not
I took it like a kid, you see
The cool kids voted to get rid of me
I'm ashamed of what it did to me
What I let get done
It stole my fun, it stole my fun
Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long
Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long
Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long
Fetch the bolt cutters
