Lyrics
I can't get that sound you make
I am unable to forget the sound you produce
Out of my head
It lingers persistently in my thoughts
I can't even figure out what's making it
I can't discern the source of the sound
No one else around even seems to be noticing
Others around me seem oblivious to it
It's only small enough for me
The sound is significant only to me
I can't get that sound you make
Reiteration of being unable to forget the sound
Out of my head
Continued persistence of the sound in my thoughts
I can't even figure out what's making it
Reiteration of the difficulty in identifying the source of the sound
It feels like fingernails across the moon
The sound is described metaphorically as fingernails across the moon
Or do you rub your wings together
Raising questions about the origin of the sound, possibly linked to wings
There's a mean bone in my body
Admission of a negative aspect within oneself
It's connected to the problems
This negative aspect is associated with unresolved issues
That I won't take for an answer
Refusal to accept certain problems as answers
No, I won't take that from you
Asserting independence by rejecting certain responses
Because I, would hurt a fly
Expressing a willingness to harm even a small, harmless creature
I can't get that sound you make
Reiteration of being unable to forget the sound
Out of my head
Continued persistence of the sound in my thoughts
I can't even figure out what's making it
Reiteration of the difficulty in identifying the source of the sound
No one else around even seems to be noticing
Others around me remain unaware of the sound
It's only small enough for me
Emphasizing the personal significance of the sound
There's a mean bone in my body
Reiteration of the presence of a negative aspect within oneself
It's connected to the problems
This negative aspect is linked to unresolved problems
That I won't take for an answer
Refusal to accept certain problems as answers, again
No, I won't take that from you
Reasserting independence by rejecting certain responses, again
Because I, would hurt a fly
Reiteration of the willingness to harm, even a small creature
Let you go to sleep
Expressing a desire for the other person to share a similar emotional state before sleeping
Feeling bad as me
Hoping the other person feels as bad as the speaker does before sleeping
Let you go to sleep
Repetition of the desire for the other person to go to sleep feeling bad
Feeling bad
Emphasizing the negative emotional state before sleep
There's a mean bone in my body
Reiteration of the presence of a negative aspect within oneself
It's connected to the problems
This negative aspect is connected to unresolved problems
That I won't take for an answer
Refusal to accept certain problems as answers, once again
No, I won't take that from you
Reasserting independence by rejecting certain responses, once again
Because I, would hurt a fly
Reiteration of the willingness to harm, even a small creature, as a concluding statement
