Lyrics
Yeah, I can feel it when you move
Expressing sensitivity to the other person's movements or actions
And I would call it serpentine
Comparing the movements or nature to that of a serpent, potentially suggesting cunning or deceit
Think I didn't wanna lose you
Implies a fear of losing the person
Cause I was in an Eden dream
Referencing a state of bliss or paradise, indicating a previously idealistic perception of the relationship
Now I think it's kinda funny
Reflecting on the past with a realization that it wasn't genuine
I can see that it was all a lie
Acknowledging the falseness or deception in past statements or actions
When you told me that you love me
Recalling a declaration of love from the other person
Cause I remember you said I was
Remembering being labeled as something specific or valuable by the person
Worth it
Implying personal value or importance
Called it picture perfect
Describing the relationship as flawless or ideal
Through your rosy lenses
Viewing the relationship through a romanticized perspective
Paintin' picket fences
Creating an idyllic vision of a perfect life together
I tried so hard to believe it
Struggling to trust or accept the proclaimed affection
Didn't wanna see it
Resisting acknowledging the falsehood or issues in the relationship
But I can't ignore the WARNING SIGNS
Recognizing evident signs of trouble or problems
Now I'm pulling out the venom
Metaphorically removing the toxicity or harmful influence of the relationship
I can feel it running through my veins
Feeling the negative effects of the relationship deeply
Doesn't matter how you spin it
Regardless of how it's perceived or explained, the relationship is leading to a detrimental outcome
It's pushing us into the grave
Implies that the situation is driving towards an inevitable end
You slither and slide
Describing the other person's actions as sneaky or deceitful
In and out my life
Indicating the continuous entry and exit of the person from the speaker's life
Snake eyes inside, coming to life
Suggesting that the person's intentions or nature are becoming more apparent
You said I was
Recalling a previous affirmation of worth or value from the person
Worth it
Reiteration of personal value or significance
Called it picture perfect
Continuation of the idealized description of the relationship
Through your rosy lenses
Viewing the relationship through a positively biased perspective
Paintin' picket fences
Painting an idyllic image of a perfect life together
I tried so hard to believe it
Struggling to believe in the perfection depicted by the other person
Didn't wanna see it
Avoiding facing the evident issues or problems in the relationship
But I can't ignore the WARNING SIGNS
Continued acknowledgment of visible warning signs in the relationship
Cracks are slowly spreading outward
Describing the gradual escalation of problems or issues
(We're not what we need, we could never be)
Realization that the relationship lacks essential elements
While we slowly spiral downward
Describing a downward spiral of the relationship
(Burn it to the ground for it to never be found)
Suggesting a destructive end to ensure closure
Cracks are slowly spreading outward
Reiteration of the gradual deterioration of the relationship
(Torch our memories in an effigy)
Metaphorically referencing destroying shared memories
While we slowly spiral downward
Continuing the description of a negative spiral in the relationship
(Burn it to the ground for it to never be found)
Expressing a desire to erase any trace of the relationship for closure
