Kill the Music
Love's Desperation: A Chaotic Symphony by Every Time I Die
Lyrics
Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover
Describing a hesitant dance to the rhythm of a disillusioned lover.
Dumb and pulsing we've become
Commenting on a state of foolish and repetitive behavior.
The bedroom door is an old black lung
The bedroom door symbolizes a closed, inhospitable space.
It's arrhythmic
Referring to an irregular, unpredictable nature.
Uninviting and pliable
Describing something unwelcoming and easily influenced.
With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us
Depicting a forceful intrusion with the disregard of shrapnel.
Bore into our head and found thoughtlessness
Penetrating thoughts with a lack of mindfulness.
Never minded the faithless courage of shame or the bravery of oblivion,
Ignoring the shame or bravery associated with faithlessness or oblivion.
I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back
Expressing a sense of permanence in someone's thoughts.
If two-timing is what it takes, then we both know one take is all we need
Accepting the idea that one encounter is sufficient, even if deceptive.
We're not equipped to stay unloved
Acknowledging inadequacy in handling being unloved.
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
Despite the challenges, acknowledging the current state is not okay.
Come on baby and give me the creeps
Inviting a partner to evoke unsettling feelings.
Either you or I or both must go
Highlighting the inevitability that either one or both must leave.
Either you or I or both must go
-I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back
Reiterating a lasting presence in someone's thoughts.
If two timing is what it takes then we both know one take is all we need
Accepting deception if it ensures a single encounter is enough.
We're not equipped to stay unloved
Acknowledging a lack of preparedness to endure being unloved.
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
Despite challenges, recognizing the current state is not okay.
There's no difference between being holy and alone
Claiming there's no distinction between holiness and loneliness.
That's why I'm eagerly fleeing the scene
Expressing a strong desire to leave a situation.
Lead footed
Describing a hasty departure.
Baby return the favor and leave somebody you love
Asking someone to reciprocate leaving someone they love.
If they come back they're drunk and they're lonely
Suggesting that returning when drunk and lonely is common.
We all get lonely
Recognizing the universal experience of loneliness.
God forbid we indulge when at sea
Expressing reluctance to indulge in pleasure while facing challenges.
Just the tempest, the temptress and me
Referencing a situation involving a storm and a temptress.
Naturally bored thriller
Describing a naturally bored thriller.
Nobody knows the trouble I've been or the exacting improvement of sin
Claiming personal experience with trouble and the refinement of sin.
I'm handing myself over
Committing to a self-surrender, possibly to the consequences of actions.
I'm turning myself in
-War has no glory like a woman ignored
Stating that ignoring a woman has no glory in war.
So here's to the empires polluted with dead
Toasting to empires tainted with the casualties of war.
And the truckers wives who erected them
Mentioning the wives of truckers who played a role in constructing empires.
I know the stripper's real name
Asserting knowledge of a stripper's real name.
Stop me if I'm wrong
Soliciting correction if the speaker is wrong.
