Lyrics

Every day it's Friday night

Describing a repetitive feeling of excitement or anticipation akin to a Friday night, possibly suggesting a constant state of heightened emotions or experiences.

I hold my body like a butcher knife

Feeling a sense of self-protection or guarding oneself, comparing it to holding a butcher knife, possibly indicating a defensive stance or readiness to defend against emotional harm.

Smiling for the camera eyes closed

Posing for the camera with closed eyes, hinting at performing or pretending happiness or contentment for the sake of an audience.

Doing anything you ask I suppose

Willingness to comply or fulfill requests without much resistance.

You tell me you would die to breathe me in

Someone expressing extreme desire to be close or intimate.

I know there's no excuse for oxygen

Recognizing the essential need for something, paralleling it with oxygen, indicating that desire or need may have no legitimate justification.

So I will make your bed my graveyard

Metaphorically turning a bed into a graveyard, suggesting a sense of emotional heaviness or burden.

Let the world run through my soft parts

Allowing oneself to be vulnerable to the world's impact or judgments.


And I live at this faultline

Living in a state of uncertainty or imbalance between isolation and optimism.

Between the edge of solitude and hope

Feeling emotionally unstable, oscillating between hopefulness and loneliness.

I'm shaking in a sentimental trope

Experiencing intense emotions that are clichéd or stereotypical.

And all the stars apologize for night

Expressing regret or apology through celestial imagery for the darkness or difficult times.

I don't blame them I've wanted to sometimes

Understanding and empathizing with the stars' desire to escape challenging situations.

I don't know what to tell you where I've been

Feeling uncertain about how to communicate personal experiences or whereabouts.

My body's just a landscape for your sin

Viewing one's body solely as a medium or object for another's wrongdoing or indulgence.

And all the days regret the city lights

Remorseful for the passing of time and its consequences symbolized by city lights.

I know it's just the fault of the faultline

Attributing faults or problems to an inherent flaw or imbalance.


Every week keeps slipping by

Sense of time slipping away in an artificial or simulated state of happiness or contentment.

In this imitation paradise

Living in an environment or situation that imitates but does not genuinely provide happiness or fulfillment.

The angels make me sorry when I err

Feeling regretful or apologetic due to the expectations placed by others, symbolized by angels.

From the way they want me everywhere

Feeling overwhelmed by demands or pressures from various sources.

Can't you see I'm sinking further in

Experiencing a deeper sense of sinking or emotional descent.

Wish you could reimburse my oxygen

Wishing for compensation or acknowledgment for personal sacrifices or efforts.

I gave you everything and then some more

Giving everything and more to someone, leaving them without a need for anything further.

Left you with nothing to be looking for

Leaving someone with no sense of purpose or desire.


Will I die at this faultline?

Questioning the possibility of succumbing or perishing at the junction of chaos and despair.

Between the edge of entropy and woe

Living on the brink between disorder and misery.

I wanted everything so much it grows

Desiring something intensely until it becomes overwhelming.

Until I can't manage this appetite

Feeling consumed by insatiable desires.

I loved you so traumatically that I

Loving intensely in a way that causes emotional distress.

Can barely lift the world you left for me

Struggling to cope with the weight or burden of the emotional legacy left behind by a past relationship.

There's lots of ghosts I somehow still can see

Haunted by memories or remnants of past relationships that continue to influence or affect the present.

Holding onto me for our dear life

Feeling emotionally tethered or held back by lingering connections to past experiences or relationships.

All these bodies always touching mine

Constantly feeling the presence or impact of others on one's own life.
