Lyrics
Oh my my
Expression of surprise or realization
Little white lies
Reference to small untruths or deception
I swear I'm gonna make it right
Commitment to correct past mistakes
This time
Emphasizing the importance of the present attempt
It's not the radio
Rejecting external influences, possibly media
Turn it way down low
Lowering external noise, seeking clarity
Telling me things I do not know I know
Rejecting information previously unknown but now realized
Tonight you will be mine
Expressing a desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Suggesting a symbolic death of something ("the monkey")
Tonight you will be mine
Repetition of the desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Reiteration of the symbolic death
Now who's to blame
Questioning responsibility for changes in a relationship
You used to be the same
Noting a past similarity that no longer exists
Now you won't let me speak your name
Being prevented from mentioning someone's name
What a shame
Expressing disappointment or regret
It's a suicide
Describing a situation as self-destructive
Shut up and drive
Command to be silent and continue forward
We're never going to make the light
Predicting a failure to reach a goal
But it's all right
Accepting the situation as okay despite difficulties
Tonight you will be mine
Repetition of the desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Reiteration of the symbolic death
Tonight you will be mine
Repetition of the desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Reiteration of the symbolic death
Tonight you will be mine
Repetition of the desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Reiteration of the symbolic death
Tonight you will be mine
Repetition of the desire for a connection tonight
Tonight the monkey dies
Final reiteration of the symbolic death
