Rag and Bottle
Rag and Bottle: Love's Blaze and Hidden Struggles
Lyrics
I gave you my secrets
I shared my private thoughts and feelings with you
And we took them with us where
We carried those secrets with us wherever we went
Nothing comes between us
Nothing interferes with our connection except for the bed sheets that physically separate us
But the sheets that hold us there
Our physical intimacy is the only barrier between us
We're rag and bottle on fire
We, as a couple, are like flammable material and a bottle containing it, set on fire
Embers like knives, cutting through the night
The dying embers are sharp, cutting through the darkness of the night
Double barreled Desert Eagle, triggers on wires
A powerful firearm (Double barreled Desert Eagle) with triggers set on wires, implying a precarious situation
Caught by surprise
We were taken by surprise, caught off guard
I'm growing older
I am aging, and with time, I am moving farther away from the truth
Running further from the truth
Escaping or avoiding reality as I grow older
All I can do is pray for air that isn't there
All I can do is hope for a solution or relief that seems impossible to find
Until you make it move
Until you take action and change the situation
If I'm a little neurotic when I'm thinking of you
If I seem a bit obsessive when I think about you
Hopefully nobody notices
Hoping that my neurotic tendencies go unnoticed by others
We're rag and bottle on fire
Reiteration of the fiery, intense nature of the relationship
Embers like knives, cutting through the night
The intense and sharp remnants of the relationship cut through the darkness of the night
Double barreled Desert Eagle, triggers on wires
Similar to line 8, emphasizing a dangerous and explosive situation
Caught by surprise
We were taken by surprise again, emphasizing the unpredictability of the relationship
