Lyrics
She's rubber and i am glue
The singer sees himself as resilient ("rubber") while the subject of the song has an impact on him ("glue"), suggesting their words stick with him.
She had a lot to say and stuck it to my brain
The subject expressed a lot, and it deeply affected the singer.
She is recovered and i am screwed
While the subject has recovered, the singer feels disadvantaged or troubled.
She had a lot to say and I'll take it to my grave
Similar to line 2, the subject's words have a lasting impact on the singer, enough to take those thoughts to the grave.
If I could make all of my words count
The singer wishes for impactful speech, aiming for quality over quantity.
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
An expression of the desire to abandon quantitative measurements, focusing solely on impactful expression.
Voice reversed yelling a curse towards
There's a metaphorical reversal of voice, expressing frustration or anger.
The way-back of my skull
The subject's impact is felt deeply within the singer's thoughts or memories.
Over and over again
The impact of the subject's words repeatedly affects the singer.
She had a lot to say
Reiteration of the subject's communicative impact on the singer.
Came by to water my flower bed
The subject visited, but it led to an undesirable outcome for the singer.
Oh what a big mistake, it rains here everyday
A metaphor highlighting an unfortunate circumstance or a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Damage-needle pinned to red
Describing a sense of pain or harm inflicted by the subject's words.
She had a lot to say and I'll take it to my grave
Reiterating the impact of the subject's words, intending to keep them secret forever.
If i could make all of my words count
Continued desire for impactful speech, emphasizing quality over quantity.
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
Reiteration of the desire to abandon quantitative measures in communication.

Repeated expression of frustration or anger in a metaphorical manner.
The way-back of my skull

Over and over again
Continual repetition of the subject's impact on the singer.
This is more side effect than i expect

That boy is so glum
An observation of someone appearing unhappy or gloomy.
This is more side effect inside this wreck
The unintended consequence or impact felt within a distressed situation.
That boy is so dumb
An observation of someone appearing foolish or unintelligent.
If i could make all of my words count
Continued desire for impactful speech, emphasizing quality over quantity.
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
Desire to abandon numerical or quantitative measures in communication.
