Lyrics
You can dig that knife
You can inflict emotional pain or harm.
Deep down inside me
The pain is deeply affecting the speaker.
Just don't say never again
Just avoid saying "never again."
It's that only thing
Referring to the emotional pain as the only thing.
That stops me going crazy
The pain is a necessary restraint preventing insanity.
I know you won't
The speaker anticipates the other person's behavior.
'Cause you never do
The other person has a history of not doing what is expected.
And that's the nicest thing about you
The speaker appreciates the lack of false promises.
So uncaring, so assuming
Describing the other person as indifferent and presumptuous.
Back-stabbing, all-consuming
Accusing the other person of betrayal and being all-consuming.
Don't step over my head
A warning against crossing boundaries.
Don't step over my head
Reinforcing the warning not to intrude.
You can filter your poison into my sleep
Alluding to toxic influences infiltrating the speaker's dreams.
But I know it's my heart
Emphasizing that the emotional pain won't reach the speaker's heart.
That you could never reach
The other person can't emotionally impact the speaker.
I know you won't
Reiterating the expectation of the other person's behavior.
'Cause the tools you choose
Describing the methods/tools the other person uses.
And that's the ugliest thing about you
Highlighting the unpleasant nature of the other person.
So uncaring, so assuming
Repeating the negative traits of the other person.
Back-stabbing, all-consuming
Accusation of betrayal and overwhelming influence.
I've told a thousand lies through me
Admission of telling numerous lies to protect oneself.
I've sold a thousand lies for you
Admitting to deceiving others for the sake of the other person.
Don't step over my line
Warning against crossing a personal boundary or limit.
Don't step over my time
Warning against interfering with the speaker's time.
Don't step over my head
Reiterating the boundary against stepping over the speaker's head.
'Cause I will wish you dead [Repeat x 7]
Expressing a strong desire for the other person's demise.
