Who Do You Think You Are

Player's song 'Who Do You Think You Are' delves into the emotional turmoil and realization of betrayal in a romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who has been wronged and is now coming to terms with the deceit. The opening lines, 'Too much attention focused in the wrong direction,' suggest that the protagonist's partner was preoccupied with something or someone else, leading to a breakdown in communication and trust. This misdirection is further emphasized by the inability to express feelings verbally, yet the truth is evident in the partner's eyes.

The chorus, 'Who, who do you think you are, to walk all over me,' is a powerful declaration of self-worth and indignation. It highlights the protagonist's realization that they have been mistreated and taken for granted. The metaphor of birds burning in the night and turning into ashes symbolizes the destruction of love and trust, leaving nothing but remnants of what once was. This imagery is poignant, capturing the intensity of the emotional pain and the finality of the relationship's demise.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the initial stages of the relationship, where they did everything to please their partner, only to be met with indifference and betrayal. The line, 'In the beginning, you were ordinant as a lover,' indicates that the partner initially played their role well but eventually revealed their true colors. The protagonist's journey from devotion to disillusionment is encapsulated in the realization that they no longer need the deceitful partner, as their 'eyes are open wide.' The song concludes with a sense of liberation and empowerment, as the protagonist acknowledges the end of the love that once burned brightly but has now faded into nothingness.
