Lyrics
Every night you hypnotize the people who sit drinking
People in the club are entranced by something every night.
in the club but all the pretty words they say
The charming words spoken in the club are not enough.
the parties and the pills won't be enough
Parties and pills can't satisfy the deep yearning.
Suicides they always find, pretended to have friends that they could trust
Some resort to suicide, having pretended to trust friends.
The messages they leave behind "the loneliness just gets to be too much"
Messages left behind reveal overwhelming loneliness.
You're here and gone but you just can't stop this drug
The subject is present and absent, unable to quit a certain "drug" or habit.
Day and night, the feelin' keeps you high and makes you warm
The feeling induced by the habit persists day and night, providing warmth.
You're here and gone but you just can't get enough
The subject can't resist the habit, always seeking more.
All your life you've tried to keep the high that numbs and fills you up
A lifelong pursuit of a numbing high that fills an emotional void.
Valentines and vintage wines grow bitter in the
Valentines and vintage wines lose their appeal in the harsh light.
light of noonday sun with every kiss you leave behind
Each kiss leaves behind a fragment of the person's potential self.
another piece of who you might become
The accumulation of experiences shapes who the person becomes.
When in time you tire and the traveler's checks and
As time passes, fatigue sets in, and fake encounters become unenjoyable.
liars are no fun you think about the world outside
Contemplation of the outside world occurs, beyond waiters and salesmen.
the waiters and the salesmen lift you up
Waiters and salesmen, in their own ways, uplift the person.
You're here and gone but you just can't stop this drug
The struggle with the addictive "drug" persists despite being present and absent.
Day and night, the feelin' keeps you high and makes you warm
The persistent feeling induced by the habit provides a constant high.
You're here and gone but you just can't get enough
The person can't resist the habit, always seeking more.
All your life you've tried to keep the high that numbs and fills you up
A lifelong pursuit of a numbing high that fills an emotional void.
Seems like you have felt this all along
The person seems to have experienced this struggle for a long time.
Feels like you just want me out the door
It feels like the person desires the speaker to leave.
