Lyrics[]
So close to closure
The one thing you need
Underneath a monument with
a dedicated plea
See through the smoke now
Illusions are weak
Intercept the messages that
You left just for me
(Then suddenly)
Scratched through the surface
And you've found a key
Unlocking what you thought was safe inside a box
But it's somehow been set free
(Finally)
Say something real
Do you only speak in riddles, chatterbox?
I'm waiting for your ugly mouth to spit it out
(Waiting for it
Sugar-coated
All you need is here
Come and find what
Redefines you
Make it crystal clear)
Give me anything
But this symphony of technicolor rage
You call it righteous, meaningful
It's anything but love
Don't take me for a fool
I know this all too well so
Leave your tears to someone else 'cause
It's not just you who lost it all
Say something real
Do you only speak in riddles, chatterbox?
I'm waiting for your ugly mouth to
Say something real
Do you only speak in riddles, chatterbox?
I'm waiting on your ugly mouth to spit it out

Trivia[]
- Composer Casey Lee Williams stated in a 2023 Q&A that the song's meaning and perspective character were intended to be left up to interpretation, but the song was ultimately about Neopolitan and the Curious Cat. [1]
- Strangely, the song does not play in a significant moment pertaining to Neopolitan or the Curious Cat, including when the Cat meets Neopolitan and possesses her body. The song instead plays during the fight between Team RWBY and Jaune against Neopolitan's Jabberwalker clones, though these are creations of Neoploitan and the Curious Cat is present in the scene.
- Despite this, the song has been often interpreted as a dialogue between Neopolitan and the Cat after being possessed.
