Seventeen Is My Favorite Number
Decapitated Vows: Love's Twisted Tale by Hester Prynne
Lyrics
You were my favorite story
You held a significant place in my life, like a favorite story.
And now we write the ending
Our relationship is coming to an end, and we are crafting the conclusion.
The pages trace the body back to where it started bleeding
The pages of our story reveal the origin of pain and suffering.
I'm sure my eyes can tell you
My eyes can convey the duration of my anticipation and longing.
How long I've been waiting
I've been waiting for a considerable time to hold your head after a violent event.
To hold your lovely head after it's decapitated
Expressing a morbid desire to embrace your head after a decapitation.
You get around
You are spreading like a destructive force or contagion.
Like a fucking disease, well
Comparing the person to a harmful and pervasive disease.
Let's see how good you look at the end of a meathook
Suggesting a desire to witness the person's appearance after a violent act.
Same old wretched mess
Describing a recurring and unpleasant situation.
I had the perfect words
There were perfect words that I once had.
You wore the perfect dress
Referring to a past event where the person wore an ideal dress.
Yes
Repetition for emphasis, possibly indicating disappointment.
Yes
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing a point or feeling.
Yes
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing a strong affirmation.
And the first night we met, we both dropped dead
Recalling a significant event where both parties metaphorically 'dropped dead.'
So run and hide you coward
Challenging the person to face the consequences and not hide like a coward.
I love the thrill of the chase
Expressing enjoyment in pursuing and capturing someone.
Did you forget what was promised
Reminding the person of unfulfilled promises or commitments.
So good in the sheets
Praising the person's performance in intimate situations.
But you should finish what you started
Encouraging the person to complete what they initiated before engaging in other actions.
Before you go and try to fuck the wound
A warning against creating further problems or aggravating existing ones.
Payback's a bitch
Emphasizing the idea that payback or revenge is inevitable.
And so were you
Labeling the person as unpleasant and vengeful.
I thought you might be different, turns out you're just another bitch I'd like to tear the head off of
Expressing disappointment in discovering the person's true nature.
And keep it in my closet, with all the pictures of us
Suggesting a disturbing desire to keep a symbolic trophy of the person.
And after all the time you kept the past a secret
After keeping secrets, the truth has caught up with the person.
The truth came back for you
The consequences of the person's actions have caught up with them.
Don't mourn the bride
Advising against mourning for someone who made a final commitment.
This was her final vow
Highlighting the finality of a commitment or promise made by the person.
