This song runs through two of the major themes of Knox’s music: an emphasis on ignoring and resisting authority (be it political, religious, moral or even self-imposed) and a strong sense of self-deprecation. In this song it seems that the authority Knox is advising the audience to resist is his own...
[Verse 1]
Don't trust in me, break off my stillborn head
Have faith in last week's stars instead
Don't share my world, break out of it and fly
Have fun until the day you die
[Chorus]
And you may find that the terror that you hide
Is your best friend
[Verse 2]
Don't follow me, don't follow anything you see
Don't listen to people who tell you they hold the key
Please don't look back, look forward to it all
And don't be scared of where you think you're gonna fall
[Chorus]
And you may find that the terror that you hide
Is your best friend
Is your best friend
[Verse 3]
Don't heed this song, it's just rubbish from my mouth
I don't know north from fucking south
Please laugh at me, ridicule my fond beliefs
There's too many Indians to make room for fucking chiefs
[Chorus]
And you may find that the terror that you hide
Is your best friend
Is your best friend
And you may find that the terror that you hide
Is your best friend
Is your best friend
Is your best friend
Is your best friend
