Lyrics

I heard a noise like none other just behind the beat

Perceiving a distinctive sound just behind the rhythm.

I saw a spark catch you off your guard

Observing an unexpected spark catching someone off guard.

Ripping The ground from feet

Metaphorically describing a force ripping the ground from beneath one's feet.

I keep drowning every single night

Experiencing a drowning sensation every night.

In case I can't sleep

Preparing for sleep troubles and drowning with whiskey.

So the let the whiskey burn while my throat closes indefinitely

Alluding to the burning sensation of whiskey as the throat closes.

There's a method to this madness, but reasons won't make up For

Acknowledging a method in madness, but reasons can't compensate for a lack of support.

A lack of solidarity back up or black out

Highlighting the consequences of lacking solidarity, leading to blackout.

Cause the last call's curtain's dropping further down

Referring to the declining state as the last call's curtain drops.

This atrophy keeps sucking me further past the breakers

Describing the relentless pull of atrophy beyond personal limits.

I can feel the undertow dance

Sensing an undertow dance, a metaphor for internal struggles.

In and out my fingers

Feeling the undertow through fingers, emphasizing personal involvement.

Like a lover committing murder

Comparing the undertow to a lover committing murder in a rented bed.

In a rented bed

Setting the scene of a crime, intertwining emotions and actions.

Hearts escalate this crime scene

Describing the intensity of emotions in the aftermath of the mentioned crime.

Cause I'm always blue when my sheets are bright red

Associating emotional distress with the color blue and vivid imagery.

There's a method to this madness

Reiterating the existence of a method in madness but lacking support.

But reasons won't make up for

Repeating the theme of reasons falling short in the face of solidarity.

A lack of solidarity

Emphasizing the importance of support over reasons.

Back up or black out

Connecting the lack of support to potential blackout.

Cause the last call's curtain's dropping further down

Reiterating the decline as the last call's curtain drops further.

Yeah

Expressing a descent or decline.

I'm dropping further down

Emphasizing the ongoing descent.

Walled off myself but I'm praying for a door

Feeling trapped but hoping for an escape.

Severed lines still a ringtone tells tales through the floor

Noting the persistence of communication despite severed connections.

Nevermore

Referencing "nevermore" as a hint of finality or cessation.

You won't hear from me now

Declaring a temporary withdrawal from communication.

You won't hear from me now

Reiterating the temporary silence.

Pick up I'm fading out

Calling for attention while fading away.

My last words have headed south

Anticipating the southward journey of last words.

When we leave does love live on

Pondering the continuity of love after departure.

I'll look right so it won't matter who's left and wrong

Focusing on personal appearance to deflect blame after departure.

There's a method to this madness, but reasons won't make up For

Reiterating the existence of a method in madness but lacking support.

A lack of solidarity

Repeating the theme of reasons falling short in the face of solidarity.

Back up or black out

Emphasizing the importance of support over reasons.

Cause the last call's Curtain's dropping further down

Connecting the lack of support to potential blackout.

Fuck

Expressing frustration or intensity with an exclamation.

I hate these infinite chills, creeping down my spine

Expressing dislike for persistent chills and discomfort.

Get back up and recognize god damn

Encouraging resilience and acknowledgment of shared struggles.

None of us are fine

Rejecting the notion that anyone is truly fine.

I'm tired of your charity

Expressing weariness towards selective and tainted charity.

It's always cherry picked and filthy

Characterizing the offered charity as selective and impure.

In spite all I've accepted to the be

Despite acceptance, striving to be the best without entering dreams.

The very best at never gracing your dreams

Asserting a desire to remain elusive in dreams.
