Lyrics
Eye to eye stand winners and losers
Winners and losers confront each other directly.
Hurt by envy, cut by greed
They are damaged by envy and harmed by greed.
Face to face with their own disillusions
Facing their own disillusionments in a face-to-face encounter.
The scars of old romances still on their cheeks
Visible scars from past romantic experiences remain.
And when blow by blow
As the intensity diminishes blow by blow,
The passion dies sweet little death
The end of passion is like a sweet little death.
Just have been lies
Realization that there were lies in the relationship.
Some memories of gone by time would still recall the lies
Memories of past times may still recall those lies.
The first cut won't hurt at all
The initial cut in a relationship is painless.
The second only makes you wonder
The second cut sparks curiosity and contemplation.
The third will have you on your knees
The third cut brings one to their knees in agony.
You start bleeding, I start screaming
As pain sets in, bleeding and screaming ensue.
It's too late, the decision is made by fate
Fate has already made the decision, and it's too late.
Time to prove what forever should last
It's time to prove the endurance of what should last forever.
Whose feelings are so true as to stand the test?
Questioning whose feelings are true enough to withstand challenges.
Whose demands are so strong as to parry all attacks?
Identifying whose demands are strong enough to deflect all attacks.
And when blow by blow
Similar to line 5, as the intensity fades blow by blow,
The passion dies sweet little death
The end of passion is described as a sweet little death.
Just have been lies
Reiterating that there were lies in the relationship.
Some memories of gone by time will still recall the lies
Memories of past times may still recall those lies.
The first cut won't hurt at all
Reiteration that the first cut is painless.
The second only makes you wonder
The second cut prompts reflection and wonder.
The third will have you on your knees
The third cut brings intense pain and submission.
You start bleeding, I start screaming
With pain setting in, bleeding and screaming occur again.
The first cut won't hurt at all
Repeating that the initial cut is painless.
The second only makes you wonder
The second cut triggers contemplation and curiosity.
The third will have you on your knees
The third cut results in intense pain and submission.
You start bleeding, I start screaming
As pain intensifies, bleeding and screaming resume.
The first cut won't hurt at all
Emphasizing that the first cut is painless.
The second only makes you wonder
The second cut raises questions and curiosity.
The third will have you on your knees
The third cut leads to intense pain and submission.
You start bleeding, I start screaming
As pain sets in again, bleeding and screaming follow.
The first cut won't hurt at all
Reiteration that the first cut is painless.
The second only makes you wonder
The second cut sparks contemplation and wonder.
The third will have you on your knees
The third cut results in intense pain and submission.
You start bleeding, I start screaming
Once again, with pain intensifying, bleeding and screaming occur.
