"A Better Way" by Hundred Reasons is a song that expresses frustration and resentment towards someone who consistently manipulates and takes advantage of others. The lyrics suggest a situation where the protagonist has been mistreated and overlooked by this person. The line "How about we set on you, take turns for after, lie down and take your cue" implies a desire for the tables to turn and for the manipulator to experience what it feels like to be mistreated themselves. The lyrics continue with phrases like "rest on your own, truth is your overdue" and "without a thought for me, back down and walk away," portraying a sense of exhaustion and disappointment in the relationship. The protagonist questions the purpose and impact of the manipulator's actions, asking "what point do you make? I don't hear a thing" and sarcastically suggesting they "make a wish, like we'd care." The chorus, "Must be a better way, it's all wishing, thinking, trust you to bury us," reflects the desire for a resolution and a recognition of the destructive nature of the manipulator's behavior. The protagonist feels that the lies and manipulation only serve the manipulator's interests, without regard for others. The song expresses a mix of anger, frustration, and a longing for a better way of dealing with the situation. It suggests that the manipulator's actions have caused harm and that there is a need for change.
