Lyrics

Between a birth cry

Life begins with a cry at birth

And a death will

Life ends with a predetermined fate (death will)

There's just houses

Life is mostly filled with mundane things (houses)

So lavish

These houses are extravagant and impressive

In your anguish

Despite the opulence, there's pain and suffering

I can tell

The speaker can sense or perceive your distress

You're chasing your tail

You're stuck in a repetitive and unproductive cycle

Soaked through sheets

The sheets are soaked, possibly with sweat or tears

She didn't die quite right

Someone didn't die peacefully or without issues

So light up the leader

Encouragement to find inspiration and strength (light up the leader, believer, juggernaut days)

So light up the leader

-

So light a believer

-

To the juggernaught days

-

I give up

Desire for love and understanding, feeling lost and defeated

I give in

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

You're never lost

-

I'll never win

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

And ask the boy who would be king

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

I'll never ask for anything

-

Just show me love, show me love

-

Can't breathe

Struggling to breathe, battling inner demons, references to a pinball game and rain

Feed the black dog

-

Refuse to breathe

-

Refuse to fuck

-

And oh my love

-

She played a cool pinball

-

They told me it rained

-

Yeah, they told me it rained

-

I give up

Reiteration of the desire for love and understanding

I give in

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

You're never lost

-

I'll never win

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

And ask the boy who would be king

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

I'll never ask for anything

-

Just show me love, show me love

-

Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy monster sound

A heavy, intense, and powerful musical element


I give up

Continuation of the plea for love and acceptance

I give in

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

You're never lost

-

I'll never win

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

And ask the boy who would be king

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

I'll never ask for anything

-

Just show me love, show me love

-

I give up

Repeated request for love and acknowledgment

I give in

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

You're never lost

-

I'll never win

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

And ask the boy who would be king

-

Just show me love

-

Show me love

-

I'll never ask for anything

-

Just show me love, show me love

-

Just show me love, just show me love

A final plea for love
