Lyrics
Give me a rose and a vase
Desire for a symbolic gift (rose) and emotional receptacle (vase)
Full of rain and lye
Metaphorical mixture of emotions (rain) and harsh reality (lye)
She had a bone with a stain
Reference to a tainted past or regretful memory
For the days and nights
Reflection on both positive and challenging experiences
Running with God on the plains
Mention of spiritual connection or pursuit with a higher power
Blood is the color of peonies
Blood symbolizes life, and peonies represent beauty and healing
No one your mother when God bleeds
Exploration of the complex relationship between God and humanity
Breaking of heart turned to Siamese
Heartbreak leading to a close, intertwined connection (Siamese)
Woman, she tells me I've changed
Acknowledgment of personal change, potentially in a relationship
No sparkle in the eye
Loss of enthusiasm or passion in the eyes
Seeing the stars in the day
Perception of the extraordinary in ordinary situations
I caught her in a lie
Discovery of deceit or falsehood
Washing the sins from her face
Symbolic cleansing of guilt or wrongdoing
She's dying to say goodbye
A desire to end a relationship or situation
Goodbye, goodbye (goodbye)
Repetition emphasizes a final farewell or separation
Goodbye, goodbye (goodbye)
-Goodbye, goodbye (goodbye)
-Goodbye, goodbye (goodbye)
-Blood is the color of peonies
Reiteration of the themes of blood, God, and interconnected hearts
No one your mother when God bleeds
-Breaking of heart turned to Siamese
-And you couldn't turn around
Questions and reflections on the inability to escape or alleviate pain
To take the edge off?
-And you couldn't turn around (you do)
-To take the edge off? (What you do? What you do you then?)
-And you couldn't turn around (what you do? What you do?)
-To take the edge off? (What you do? What you do you then?)
-And you couldn't turn around (what you do? What you do?)
-To take the edge off? (What you do? What you do you then?)
-(What you do?) The edge
