Don 'T Go Anywhere I' Ll Be Right Back Analysis

As the camera pans back, Mr. Blonde stands up and turns, holding the officer’s bloody severed ear in his hands. This verse is a reflection of Mr. Blonde, and how he sees his lifestyle.

He has no idea what is going on, and has no information to help him try to make sense of it nor to give up (Trying to make some sense of it all, But I can see that it makes no sense at all). He is battered, bruised and bloodied, and appears resigned to his fate, ready to throw in the towel and give up, he can’t take anymore (Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor, 'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore). The repeat of the final lyric throughout the song appears to connect to the officer’s thoughts, going around in circles as he tries to put everything
