Insidiously is the last song from Sia’s second album “Healing is Difficult”. In many songs, Sia talks about her private life and in many expects of lessons learnt from her. This is one of many.
Insidiously talks about having a complicated friendship, like one wants to have it more than friends, but...
[Verse 1]
Mind you mind me
You thought you could climb me
Well, sorry to cut your rope
In you I've lost all hope
Mind you mind me
I haven't seen you lately
Oh, how many times you still to phone
To see if your seed I could sow
[Chorus]
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
[Verse 2]
Mind you mind me
I laugh at your transparency
You're my new best friend
Your fucked up life can I mend
Mind you mind me
How things can change in a good week
Call me ruthless
But you stretch the truth, oh yes
[Chorus]
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
[Bridge]
Believe me
I know you work insidiously
Believe me
I know you work insidiously
Believe me
I know you work insidiously
Believe me
I know you work insidiously
I know, yeah
[Verse 3]
Mind you mind me
You smile so sweetly
I'd call you an acquaintance
Stop with your exaggeration
Mind you mind me
I find it interesting to see
When I only offer you a smile
Oh how you forget to dial
[Chorus]
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
[Interlude]
If you can write a song, what would you write it about?
Uhm, I think I'd write about me
I did it!
You did it!
