Lyrics
Those things you thought that were obscene
Reflecting on past actions considered taboo or offensive.
Will quickly become your routine
Once deemed inappropriate becomes a regular part of life.
And he invited you over
Referring to a person extending an invitation to the listener.
An addict quickly gets indressed
An addict quickly undresses, possibly referring to drug use.
With something ot get off her chest
Expressing a desire to reveal something burdensome.
You made a trade 'cause you're sober
Trading something valuable because the listener is now sober.
And it stings to remind you
A painful reminder of the past that stings emotionally.
Of all that's behind you
Reflecting on everything left in the past.
But I don't want to lose you right now...
Expressing a reluctance to lose the listener despite challenges.
'cause they say it gets better before it gets worse
Hopeful perspective that things improve before worsening.
You know it gets better, so of course it gets worse
Acknowledging that improvement may precede a downturn.
Your body's made of dollar bills
Comparing the listener's body to currency, possibly indicating exploitation.
You'd spend them all on some cheap thrill
Spending money on fleeting pleasures, questioning future consequences.
But what when you're older?
Considering the impact of impulsive actions in later life.
You stuck a point into your arm
Reference to drug injection and potential harm.
But did you contemplate the harm?
Asking if the listener considered the consequences of their actions.
As it moved up your shoulder...
Describing the movement of a substance through the body.
Did it make you feel better
Questioning whether the temporary relief was worth the subsequent pain.
Right before it got worse
Suggesting a momentary improvement before a decline.
I used to make you feel better
Highlighting a shift from providing comfort to causing pain.
But now it just hurts...
Expressing the current state of hurting rather than helping.
And there's no hope 'cause I'm in love with you
Declaring a love for the listener despite a hopeless situation.
I cannot cope; guess I'm addicted too
Admitting difficulty coping due to an apparent addiction.
You keep on coming over me
Describing a persistent presence or influence.
I keep on crying over you
Expressing continued emotional distress caused by the listener.
It shows me what it's come to be
Indicating a realization of the current state of the relationship.
It shows me what I mean to you
Highlighting the significance of the listener's actions.
'cause you're killing me......
Stating the impact of the listener's actions on the speaker.
And after all you would think
Expressing confusion over attributing blame in the relationship.
It's my fault when all in all I know is that you're killing me!
Acknowledging a lack of understanding and the detrimental impact.
