I think this opening verse as an intro to the album is a display of a recurring theme on the record: identity and self-labeling. Here Tom dismisses any labels or assumptions that could or have been made about him by stating and denouncing a list of labels one would like to give him. He finishes off...
I'm not a faceless, not a racist, not a faction
I'm not a whore, wanting more, I'm not a fraction
I'm not your teacher, not your preacher, not your hometown
I'm not unable, on your table, not your background
I'm not obtuse, or some excuse, I'm not an open door
I'm not your killer, got my filler, now I want some more
I'm not a lover to another, not a stereotype
I'm not a rock through your window on a cold night
I'm not a book, I'm not an opus, not an artist
I'm not a painter, not a poet on your shortlist
They’re trying to get you, trying to keep you, trying to pin you down
Another gun under the table and a long walk home
