While a “Power User” is generally considered someone who is very good with computers, Olga decides to use that term in a different way.
In this song, Olga is using the term “Power User” to describe a significant other who has all the power, seeing her as just another person. This is evident in line...
[Verse 1]
I saw a bird with a painted face
It looked exactly like you want me to look
I recognized it from a mile away
And I knew just what to do
[Synth Interlude]
[Verse 2]
We share it all you say
What's mine is yours
When really you're feeling a little icy to me
Admiring all you hide
Between the lines, between the lines
Why not say just what you mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Instead you sulk, sit alone in a bar
Looking a little like a punchline, buddy
I memorized that mask, that repertoire
Now I'm so ready I'm so ready I'm so ready I see
[Chorus]
I see you think I'm nobody
While you're the power user
Yeah the power user
Aren't you lucky for your circumstances
You've got all the answers
But you're dancin' on your own
[Bridge]
Little boo fuck with the chatter
Need to feel like ya matter
Out in the house with your hands up
Whether or not you feel like a dancer x2
Out in the house with your hands up
Out in the house with your hands up up x2
Little boo fuck with the chatter
Need to feel like ya matter
Out in the house with your hands up
Hands up hands up hands up dancer
[Verse 3]
Baby, don't lie
I see you coming down
Tell me
Why
You can't let it be a recourse
Let it rally you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Instead you sulk, sit alone in a bar
Looking a little like a punchline, buddy
But I memorized that mask, that repertoire
Now I'm so ready I'm so ready I'm so ready I see
[Chorus]
I see you think I'm nobody
While you're the power user
Yeah the power user
Aren't you lucky for your circumstances
You've got all the answers
But you're dancin' on your own
