Give Me Yr Teeth
Bittersweet Bargain: Unraveling the Metaphor in 'Give Me Yr Teeth'
Lyrics
The echoing drawl
The lingering and resonant speech pattern
Of a hollow mouth
A mouth without substance or sincerity
Its deception draws me in
Its deceitful nature attracts my attention
The realization spits me out
The realization of the deception rejects me
The woeful cannibal speaks
The sorrowful person who consumes others
Fully aware of the lies
Fully conscious of the falsehoods
On his plate
Lies on his plate, possibly symbolic of deceitful actions
How could he
Questioning how he could be taken aback
Be surprised
Expressing surprise or disbelief
How could he
Reiteration of the surprise or disbelief
Fail to recognize
Failing to acknowledge the true nature
The taste
The experience or flavor of deception
Give me your teeth
Requesting possession of someone's teeth
Give me your teeth
Repetition of the request for teeth
A single part of you
Asking for a part of someone in exchange for all of oneself
In exchange for all of me
Expressing a disproportionate sacrifice for the other
Can't taste the sin anymore
Unable to perceive the wrongdoing or immorality
And now your
Your painful gums now experiencing discomfort
Bruising gums are sore
Reiteration of the request for teeth
Give me your teeth
Repetition of the request for teeth
Give me your teeth
Reiteration of the request for teeth
