Lyrics

Now who are you to be the death of me

Challenging the identity and influence of the person addressing the singer

Stealing what life you need

Accusing the person of taking away essential aspects of the singer's life

Roadside while you watch me bleed

Describing a vulnerable state, possibly due to the actions of the addressed person

I've got to get out of here

Expressing a strong desire to escape from the current situation or relationship

I've got to get out of here

Reiterating the urgency and determination to leave


Well where do you get off that we revolve around your wants and needs

Questioning the self-centered attitude of the addressed person

There's no way I would change a one side catastrophe

Declaring resistance to changing for the sake of someone else's desires

You are the only one in this room that is still the same

Pointing out the uniqueness of the singer in contrast to others in the room

You're still the one night catastrophe

Referring to the addressed person as a one-night catastrophe, suggesting a fleeting and negative impact


A liar, a liar, that’s what you made of me

Acknowledging deception and the creation of falsehood by the addressed person

A wire, a wire, that’s what were walking on

Comparing the situation to a precarious wire, emphasizing its instability

Desires, desires, it's all dressed down

Highlighting unfulfilled longings and ambitions

Heavy lies the crown, heavy lies the crown

Emphasizing the burdensome nature of the situation


Thought you were the one I figured out

Expressing initial belief in the addressed person, now proven wrong

With no creeping doubts, no hiding ins or outs

Asserting a lack of doubts and transparency in the beginning, which is now shattered

But I was so wrong, I was so wrong

Admitting a realization of being mistaken

The knife that’s resting in my back is proof enough for me

Using a metaphorical knife in the back as evidence of betrayal

That you’re a one sided catastrophe

Reiterating the addressed person's negative impact as one-sided


A liar, a liar, that’s what you made of me

Repeating the theme of deception and falsehood

A wire, a wire, that’s what were walking on

Re-emphasizing the fragile and unstable nature of the situation

Desires, desires, it's all dressed down

Repeating unfulfilled desires and ambitions

Heavy lies the crown, heavy lies the crown

Reiterating the weightiness and difficulty of the situation


A liar, a liar, that’s what you made of me

Re-emphasizing the impact of deception on the singer

A wire, a wire, that’s what were walking on

Reiterating the precarious nature of the situation

Desires, desires, it's all dressed down

Repeating unfulfilled desires and ambitions

Heavy lies the crown, heavy lies the crown

Reiterating the weightiness and difficulty of the situation


A liar, a liar, that’s what you made of me

Re-emphasizing the impact of deception on the singer

A wire, a wire, that’s what were walking on

Reiterating the precarious nature of the situation

Desires, desires, it's all dressed down

Repeating unfulfilled desires and ambitions

Heavy lies the crown, heavy lies the crown

Reiterating the weightiness and difficulty of the situation
