Nerve Gas
Fading Fast: 3 Colours Red's Nerve Gas Unveiled
Lyrics
How could I let you get so attached
Expressing regret or guilt for allowing emotional attachment to develop.
Before I knew you, you had us matched
Realizing a connection existed before fully understanding the other person.
A broken quartet plays your heartstrings
Describing a damaged relationship represented by a metaphorical broken quartet.
You're out of tune with everything
Pointing out a lack of harmony or synchronization with the partner and surroundings.
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
Using "nerve gas" metaphorically to signify a toxic or harmful influence.
I get asphyxiated
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed by negative emotions or circumstances.
Funny how fast you faded
Noting how quickly the partner's presence or impact diminishes.
Nerve gas
Reiterating the toxic influence of the relationship using "nerve gas."
Its cold in the kitchen my nicotine tongue
Describing a cold and inhospitable atmosphere in the relationship.
Is dry and sarcastic and blacker than lungs
Characterizing the speaker's communication style as harsh, cynical, and dark.
You're flipping the tripswitch
Referring to a moment of change or disruption in the relationship.
And sucking your thumb
Highlighting a regressive or childlike behavior in the partner.
And parking your thick head where it don't belong
Criticizing the partner for inappropriate actions or decisions.
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
Repeating the metaphor of "nerve gas" and emphasizing the lack of class.
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
Reiterating the negative impact of the toxic influence on the relationship.
I get asphyxiated
Expressing the feeling of being suffocated or overwhelmed.
Funny how fast you faded
Observing the swift deterioration of the partner's influence.
Nerve gas
Reaffirming the harmful nature of the relationship using "nerve gas."
Its cold in the kitchen my nicotine tongue
Repeating the description of a cold and unwelcoming environment.
Is dry and sarcastic and blacker than lungs
Emphasizing the speaker's harsh and sarcastic communication style.
You're flipping the tripswitch
Referring again to a disruptive or transformative moment in the relationship.
And sucking your thumb
Pointing out regressive or immature behavior in the partner.
And parking your thick head where it don't belong
Criticizing the partner for being out of place or inappropriate.
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
Reiterating the metaphor of "nerve gas" and emphasizing the lack of class.
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
Repeating the negative impact of the toxic influence on the relationship.
I get asphyxiated
Expressing the feeling of being suffocated or overwhelmed.
Funny how fast you faded
Observing the swift deterioration of the partner's influence.
I get asphyxiated
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation or being overwhelmed.
Funny how fast you faded
Noting the rapid fading of the partner's presence or impact.
Nerve gas
Concluding with the repetition of the metaphor "nerve gas."
