Lyrics
Deliberately I dilute my senses
Expressing a deliberate choice to numb or weaken the senses.
Trapped behind my burning fences
Feeling confined or imprisoned emotionally, depicted by burning fences.
Teasing me with bites of you
Being tempted or provoked by aspects of someone represented by "bites of you."
I bite down hard, the taste is cruel
Reacting strongly to the temptation, possibly with aggression, and experiencing a harsh taste.
Not bitter sweet, not sweet like you
Emphasizing that the experience is not a typical bittersweet one, and not as pleasant as the person in question.
Not like this I begged too soon
Regretting having pleaded or asked too early in a situation.
I begged to hard and broke right through
Expressing the consequences of begging too hard, resulting in a breakthrough, possibly a negative one.
I broke the links and broke you too
Breaking the emotional connections and affecting the other person as well.
The shattered glass I leave behind
Referring to the shattered remnants of emotional experiences left behind.
The fragile pieces of my mind
Highlighting the fragility of the individual's mind.
The many thoughts I kept of you
Recalling various thoughts and memories of the person being addressed.
And all the chances that I used
Mentioning missed opportunities and regrets related to those chances.
Our rivers run red today
Symbolizing a significant emotional event, possibly a painful one, using the metaphor of rivers running red.
Fear of losing washed away
Feeling relief or liberation from the fear of losing something.
Bodies float just below
Describing a macabre scene with floating bodies, representing consequences.
I'll see you floating all alone
Anticipating the isolation of the person being addressed.
Butcher me, I'm just meat
Metaphorically presenting oneself as mere meat, vulnerable and exposed.
A pile of flesh left on the street
Describing the aftermath of a destructive experience, reducing oneself to a pile of flesh.
Nothing more and nothing less
Stating a lack of significance, being nothing more and nothing less than flesh.
I let you tenderize my legs
Allowing vulnerability and exposure, letting someone influence or manipulate.
Couldn't run but did not try
Choosing not to resist, possibly due to a perceived inability to escape.
Because meat can't think and meat can't cry
Asserting the numbness of emotions and the inability to express distress.
You butchered me when I was weak
Expressing betrayal or harm inflicted by someone when the individual was vulnerable.
Now I'm every thought you think
Becoming a constant presence in the perpetrator's thoughts as a consequence of the harm.
Deliberately I dilute my senses
Repeating the earlier sentiment of deliberately numbing the senses.
Trapped behind my burning fences
Reiterating the sense of being emotionally confined or trapped.
Teasing me with bites of you

Not like this I begged too soon
