Lyrics
Yeah
Repetitive affirmations, possibly expressing frustration or intensity.
Yeah
-Yeah
-Yeah
-Never came around to make this house into a home
Expressing a failure to turn the house into a home.
Put you on a pedestal and sat you on a throne
Elevating someone to a high status but discovering their flaws.
I find all your skeletons, a closet full of bones
Discovering hidden secrets and past mistakes.
I see you take pride in bloody eyes, I know you're stoned
Noticing the partner's pride in their troubled state.
I can hear resentment in your tone
Perceiving resentment in the partner's voice.
Said I'd never make it on my own
Being told that one wouldn't succeed alone.
Maybe I'm just better off alone, too numb to deal
Contemplating whether being alone is better, feeling emotionally numb.
Too numb to feel the knife in my back
Feeling betrayed but emotionally detached.
Judas
Repetition of "Judas," indicating betrayal and deceit.
Oh, oh, Judas
-Judas
-Oh, oh, Judas
-I can see you coming from about a mile away
Anticipating someone's approach with negative characteristics.
In the mystique, your pretentiousness is fading
Noticing the fading charm and authenticity of the person.
Reminiscing all the backwards ways you made me stay
Recalling past negative experiences and manipulative tactics.
Begging me for thread, I think you need to change your brain
Suggesting a need for a change in mindset.
I can hear resentment in your tone
Reiteration of perceived resentment in the partner's voice.
Said I'd never make it on my own
Recalling predictions of not succeeding alone.
Maybe I'm just better off alone, too numb to deal
Considering the possibility of being better off alone.
Too numb to feel the knife in my back
Feeling emotionally numb and betrayed.
Judas

Oh, oh, Judas

-I need to make an effort, this should be effortless
Expressing the need for effort in a relationship.
Nothing can last forever, and you're such a pessimist
Highlighting the impermanence of things and criticizing pessimism.
I was your prized possession, and who was your exorcist?
Reflecting on being a prized possession and questioning past influences.
Thought you was heaven sent, he left for the hell of it
Feeling deceived by someone believed to be heaven-sent.
I can hear resentment in your tone
Reiterating the perceived resentment in the partner's voice.
Said I'd never make it on my own
Recalling predictions of not succeeding alone.
Maybe I'm just better off alone, too numb to deal
Contemplating the possibility of being better off alone.
Too numb to feel the knife in my back
Feeling emotionally numb and betrayed.
