Lyrics
Dull knife and a bright smile
A metaphorical contrast between a dull knife and a bright smile, suggesting a deceptive appearance or emotions.
Gone before I tasted blood
Regret over a missed opportunity or a relationship ending before experiencing its full intensity.
You left me there sentenced without a trial
Feeling abandoned without a chance to explain or defend oneself.
Before I knew what real pain was
Reflecting on emotional pain and the sudden realization of its depth.
That was the night the comet hit
An eventful night, possibly representing a turning point, marked by a comet's impact.
The day the oceans boiled over
Symbolic chaos and upheaval, likening it to the boiling over of oceans.
The day the earth split
A catastrophic event, the earth splitting, mirroring the emotional impact of a breakup.
The night you said it was over
A significant moment of the relationship ending.
Cold night and stale cigarettes
Setting the scene with a cold night and remnants of the past, stale cigarettes.
Flowers on the side of the highway
Memorializing a tragic event with flowers by the highway.
The world ends but I can't forget
The difficulty of moving on after the end of the world or a relationship.
Neon rust never fades

Bleeding out, drops on gravel road

Silent dust dreams of rain
The longing for something unattainable, akin to dreams of rain in silent dust.
Broken glass taking what was owed
Taking what was owed, possibly seeking retribution or closure.
Lungs shudder through the pain
Struggling to breathe through the emotional pain.
It all started with a flash of light
A flashback to the beginning of a catastrophic event marked by a flash of light.
Clouds blocking out the sun
The aftermath of the event, with clouds blocking out the sun, indicating darkness.
It all ended with a stupid fight
The relationship's demise, marked by a regrettable fight.
When you said you were done
Confirmation of the relationship's end, leading to a sense of finality.
Cold night and stale cigarettes
Reiteration of the setting and emotional state.
Flowers on the side of the highway

The world ends but I can't forget

Since I saw the apocalypse

I'm running from the past
The speaker actively avoiding or running away from their past.
Only yours is the life I miss

These dead things they last
