Lyrics
Those kissing words that come out of your mouth
Expressing skepticism towards affectionate words spoken
Sweet promises to break my heart
Acknowledging promises that have the potential to hurt emotionally
You talk of love and I begin to trust
Noting the speaker's growing trust as love is discussed
I don't know why I'm scared
Confusion and fear regarding the emotions involved
Those kissing words they climb inside my head
Describing the lingering impact of affectionate words
They cloud my mind like purest poison
Comparing the effect of words to a toxic influence
When I'm with you it feels so dangerous
Highlighting the danger and intensity felt in the speaker's presence
I don't know why I'm scared
Expressing uncertainty and fear despite being with the person
It's driving me crazy
Emphasizing the impact on the speaker's mental state
Bitter Moon always betrays me
Referring to the recurring theme of betrayal by the "Bitter Moon"
Betrays me
Reiterating the sense of being betrayed
I know your thoughts I've read your diaries
Claiming knowledge of the person's inner thoughts through diaries
My fingers burn as I turn the page
Describing the emotional pain of reading about love
You spoke of love my tears have turned to dust
Noting the transformation of love into tears and disillusionment
I don't know why I care
Expressing confusion about caring despite the pain
I'm asking you to give me more than this
Requesting more from the relationship beyond current difficulties
I need to feel beyond the pain
Desiring to feel emotions beyond the prevailing pain
The rain returns to rearrange the rust
Using rain as a metaphor for change in the midst of decay
I don't know why I care
Expressing uncertainty about caring despite the circumstances
It's driving me crazy
Reiterating the impact on the speaker's mental state
Bitter Moon always betrays me
Reaffirming the theme of betrayal by the "Bitter Moon"
Betrays me
Repeating the feeling of being betrayed
It's cold and it's crazy
Describing the emotional state as cold and irrational
Bitter Moon always betrays me
Reiterating the theme of betrayal by the "Bitter Moon"
Betrays me
Reiterating the feeling of being betrayed
Cold sun in a wet rocky sky
Describing a bleak and unwelcoming environment
A broken beach where the waves come to die
Painting a picture of a desolate beach symbolizing broken hopes
I walk alone with fear in my heart
Walking alone with fear and denial of a failing relationship
Still I deny we're falling apart
Denying the acknowledgment of the relationship falling apart
Cyclops shines through the legendary night
Referring to a singular eye shining in the night, possibly representing a one-sided perspective
The living tale of a time we thought we might
Describing a living tale of a time when hope existed
The open grave of the shallowness of blame
Referencing a symbolic open grave of blame and the struggle to hold onto love
Still I try to hold on to the flame
Expressing the speaker's effort to maintain a connection
A cold sun like the steel in your eyes
Comparing the sun to the coldness in the person's eyes
The day you said goodbye was the day you saw me die
Recalling the day of parting and its impact on the speaker
A cold sun no heat for my heart
Describing the lack of warmth in the speaker's heart
Still I deny we're falling apart
Denying the acknowledgment of the relationship falling apart
It's driving me crazy
Reiterating the impact on the speaker's mental state
Bitter Moon always betrays me
Reaffirming the theme of betrayal by the "Bitter Moon"
Betrays me
Repeating the feeling of being betrayed
It's cold and it's crazy
Describing the emotional state as cold and irrational
Bitter Moon always betrays me
Reiterating the theme of betrayal by the "Bitter Moon"
Betrays me
Repeating the feeling of being betrayed
