Lyrics
You dig your way into my life
You infiltrate my life
Parasite
Describing the infiltrator as a parasite
You want control but you will never be satisfied
Desire for control but perpetual dissatisfaction
The knife you put in my back
Betrayal represented by a metaphorical knife in the back
Has now been put in my hand
Turning the tables, gaining control of the situation
So now I'm cutting you out
Taking action to remove the harmful influence
Parasite
Reiterating the description of the infiltrator as a parasite
You'll wish that you took my life
Expressing a desire for the infiltrator's demise
In the end; Dead men don't bite
Asserting that dead individuals pose no threat
Dead men don't bite
Reiteration of the idea that deceased individuals are harmless
You dig your way into my life, Parasite
Repeating the theme of invasion by a parasite
You want control but you will never be satisfied
Emphasizing the insatiable nature of the infiltrator's desire for control
The knife you put in my back
Continuation of the metaphorical betrayal with the knife
Has now been put in my hand
Transformation of victim to one in control
So now I'm cutting you out
Action of cutting ties with the parasitic influence
Parasite
Reiterating the concept of the infiltrator as a parasite
I wish we would have wrecked that night
Expressing a wish that a destructive event had occurred
So you could only ruin two lives
Limiting the damage to two lives, highlighting the infiltrator's destructive impact
I wish that I could press rewind
Desiring to reverse the negative consequences of the infiltrator's actions
So you could never ruin more lives
Wishing to prevent further harm caused by the infiltrator
Dead men don't bite
Reiteration of the idea that deceased individuals pose no threat
A leech can't live on its own
Depicting the infiltrator as a leech unable to survive independently
You can't get blood from a stone
Highlighting the futility of trying to extract more from a situation
A leech can't live on its own
Repeating the analogy of the infiltrator as a leech
You can't get blood from a stone
Stressing the impossibility of gaining more from an already depleted situation
Leech
Reiteration of the term "leech" to emphasize the parasitic nature
You dig your way into my life, Parasite
Reiterating the theme of invasion by a parasite
You want control but you will never be satisfied
Emphasizing the insatiable nature of the infiltrator's desire for control
The knife you put in my back
Continuation of the metaphorical betrayal with the knife
Has now been put in my hand
Transformation of victim to one in control
So now I'm cutting you out
Action of cutting ties with the parasitic influence
Parasite
Reiterating the concept of the infiltrator as a parasite
You wish you took my life
Expressing a wish for the infiltrator's demise
In the end
Reiterating that deceased individuals pose no threat
Dead men don't bite
Emphasizing the harmlessness of individuals after death
