Lyrics
November 12th was an average day,
November 12th described as an ordinary day.
She would go to bars & the band would play,
The protagonist frequents bars with live music.
Come out of her shell, have a drink or two
She becomes more sociable, having a few drinks.
With a bit of help from an outgoing friend,
She receives assistance from an outgoing friend.
Everybody makes the same mistakes;
People commonly repeat errors.
Tells the story, leaves out all the dates
Narrator highlights selective storytelling, omitting dates.
Jessie Louise made a bad mistake;
Jessie Louise makes a significant error.
She was getting made when it all went bad,
Tension rises, and the situation worsens.
Desperate Dan was busy being
Introduction of "Desperate Dan" who reverts to his usual self.
Himself again when she walked in
Jessie walks in when Dan is being himself again.
Everybody makes the same mistakes;
Reiteration of the theme: everyone makes similar mistakes.
Tells the story, leaves out all the dates
Reemphasizes storytelling with omitted dates.
Everything she does, she does it for you,
The protagonist's actions are motivated by someone else.
Everything she says, she says it for you,
The protagonist's words are also directed towards someone.
She’s gonna lay it straight:
Declaration that honesty will prevail.
Cos I’m a bad talking sister & I feel like
Introduction of the narrator as a morally flawed individual.
I’m on the run,
The narrator feels the need to escape or avoid something.
Yes,he’s a bad looking brother & he looks like
Introduction of a male character with a menacing appearance.
He carries a gun, no no no no
Suggests the male character may be armed.
She made a deal when the demon said:
Jessie makes a pact with a demon, possibly for love.
She could have any man for just one price,
She can have any man, but at a significant cost.
When the fun begins, gonna take a knife,
Implies violence or danger when the "fun" starts.
Eat a bit of flesh for a sacrifice,
Mentions a gruesome act for a ritualistic offering.
Everybody makes the same mistakes,
Reiteration that people repeat the same mistakes.
Tells the story, leaves out all the dates
Storytelling includes omissions of dates.
Everything she does, she does it for you,
The protagonist's actions are still for someone else.
Everything she says, she says it for you,
The protagonist's words remain directed towards someone.
She’s gonna lay it straight
Restates the commitment to honesty.
