Lyrics

In my dream, I see you there

In a dream, the speaker visualizes your presence.

Your eyes fixed in a vacant stare

Your eyes appear fixed, devoid of expression.

A little laugh, a crooked smile

A small laugh and a crooked smile are observed.

Don't lift a finger while I lay dying

You show indifference or inaction while I am in a dire state.


Bone dry

Describing emotional emptiness or lack of empathy.

You drank all the blood

A metaphorical expression of emotional vampirism.

My heart is bone dry

The speaker's heart is emotionally drained.

Can't give you more 'cause you took all of it (Sha la la)

Unable to provide more emotionally because it has been taken away.


Was a day when I did believe

Reflecting on a past belief in your sincerity.

The things you say are what you mean

Doubt about the truthfulness of your words.

Dear sweet, innocent me

Addressing a version of the speaker that was innocent and trusting.

How much you took from me to finally see

A realization of the extent of what has been taken from the speaker.


Bone dry

Reiteration of emotional depletion using the metaphor of bone dry.

You drank all the blood

Emphasizing the complete consumption of emotional vitality.

My heart is bone dry

Reiterating the emotional emptiness of the speaker's heart.

Can't give you more 'cause you took all of it (sha la la, sha la la)

Highlighting the impossibility of giving more due to emotional depletion.


Sha la la

Shouby dooby dooby doo

What becomes a man like me

Reflecting on the speaker's identity and current state of being.

Drifting off, lost at see

Describing a sense of aimlessness and being lost.

I'll set a fire look up for it

An intention to ignite change or passion in life.

Lookin' for me, I'm a pink sunset

The speaker's presence is compared to a captivating sunset.


Bone dry (sha la la)

Reiteration of emotional depletion with added vocalization.

You drank all the blood

My heart is bone dry (sha la la)

Can't give you more 'cause you took all of it (Sha la la)

Highlighting the impossibility of giving more due to emotional depletion.


Bone dry, who!
