Lyrics

I bring the match, you bring the gasoline

I initiate the destructive process, and you contribute to it

It turns me on when you set me on fire

Your actions of setting me on fire are arousing or exciting to me

Enter my bloodstream, you are my nicotine

You enter my life like a drug, specifically likened to nicotine

I need a fix, can we get much higher?

I crave a solution or relief, wondering if we can escalate the intensity

I am unconscious, you are my DMT

I am in a state of unconsciousness, and you act as a powerful hallucinogenic substance (DMT)

You wear a crown that's made out of barbed wire

Your authority or influence is harsh and dangerous

I am a lit fuse, you are my kerosene

I am a volatile situation, and you provide the fuel to keep it burning

I need a fix, will you

I need a fix, and I'm seeking your involvement


Destroy me

Repeated emphasis on the desire for self-destruction

Destroy me

-

Destroy me

-

I don't wanna come down

Expressing a reluctance to return to a sober or grounded state

I don't wanna come down

-

I am a hollow-point, you're my Beretta

I am a dangerous projectile, and you are the weapon

You're with me when I settle a vendetta

You accompany me in settling scores or seeking revenge

I am a lost cause, singin' to the choir

I am a hopeless case, addressing those who share my hopelessness

I need a fix, can we get much higher?

Repetition of the need for a solution, questioning if it can be intensified

I need a sweet escape, you are my heroin

I need a pleasurable escape, and you are compared to heroin

Sell me a dream on a screen, it's American

Desire for an idealized American dream sold through media

You are temptation, all I desire

You represent temptation and everything I crave

I need a fix, will you

Repetition of the need for a fix, seeking involvement


Destroy me

Repeated plea or command for self-destruction

Destroy me

-

Destroy me

-

I don't wanna come down

Reiteration of not wanting to return to a grounded state

I don't wanna come down

-

This won't last forever

Reflection on the impermanence of the destructive state and inability to maintain stability

Nothing really lasts forever

-

I can't keep my shit together

-

I can't keep my shit together

-

This won't last forever

-

Nothing really lasts forever

-

You're the only one I got

Expressing a sense of loneliness and reliance on memories

Plus a pocket full of forget-me-nots

-

Then I fuck up, lost with no direction

Acknowledging mistakes, feeling lost, and seeking a chance at redemption

This is my one shot at redemption

-

Oh can you, can you please

A plea for assistance or agreement in the destructive process


Destroy me

Reiteration of the desire for self-destruction

Destroy me

-

Destroy me

-

I don't wanna come down

Reiteration of not wanting to return to a grounded state

I don't wanna come down

-

I don't wanna come down

-

I don't wanna come down

Final expression of reluctance to come down or return to reality
