Lyrics
Black market of body parts
Reference to an illegal trade in human organs
And the cruel intentions
Discussing the malicious intentions involved
of a loan shark
Comparing actions to those of a ruthless moneylender
Sell an eyeball, pay your debts
Suggesting the sale of body parts as a desperate means to settle debts
Your kidney paid for your TV set
Highlighting extreme measures taken to afford material possessions
As threats were left
Recounting threats left on the speaker's voicemail
on my answer phone
Describing the impact of threatening words
The words were felt like
Emphasizing the emotional effect, likening words to physical wounds
cuts to the bone
Metaphorically conveying emotional pain
Remove an organ it's no bother
Suggesting a willingness to sacrifice body organs for financial gain
When the deficit's paid you could always buy another
Indicating the ease of replacing sold organs once debts are paid
Crazy to know how this could be
Expressing disbelief at the situation
The scar on my back is hurting me
Linking physical pain (scar) to the speaker's actions
Sold part of myself for the highest bid
Revealing the speaker's sale of body parts to the highest bidder
To black op surgeons off the grid
Describing illegal, off-the-grid surgeries
Crazy to know how I didn't see
Expressing surprise at not realizing the consequences earlier
Future so blind I neglected the fee
Regretting not foreseeing future problems
Pretended the debt didn't really exist
Denying or ignoring the existence of financial obligations
Now I'm regretting the choice to resist
Expressing remorse for resisting a different choice
