Something’s happening, don’t speak too soon
I told the boss off and made my move
Got nowhere to goSon of Sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind
The couple killer, each and every timeI’m not uncomfortable feeling weird
Lonely leered, options disappeared
But I know what to doSon of Sam, son of a doctor’s touch, a nurse’s love
Acting under orders from aboveSon of Sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind
The couple killer, each and every timeShiva opens her arms now
To make sure I don’t get too far
I may talk in my sleep tonight ‘cause I don’t know what I am
I’m a little like you, more like son of Sam

Acting under orders from above
Elliott Smith depicts a sense of confusion and inner turmoil, reflecting on a character’s struggles with identity and loneliness. References to «Son of Sam» and various relationships highlight a complex narrative of searching for direction and understanding amid external pressures. The imagery evokes a haunting connection to one’s psyche.
