Lyrics
When everything's a blade
Expresses a challenging or dangerous situation where everything feels threatening.
It's hard to keep tools of the trade
Difficulty in maintaining the necessary skills or instruments for a profession or task.
Scissors aren't for paper and
Suggests unconventional uses of scissors beyond their typical purpose.
The razors not to shave
Highlights the misuse of a razor, indicating self-destructive behavior.
Rusted red stains on gunmetal grey
Imagery of bloodstains on a metallic surface, symbolizing violence or harm.
She told me to keep them
Someone advises the speaker to keep dangerous things away, possibly a plea for safety.
Away, away, away
-Away from her
-She said save me from myself
A plea to save someone from self-destruction, acknowledging the limits of the speaker's influence.
And as much as it breaks my heart
-It's not my place to tell
-Darling I know that you're
-Dealing with a lot in hell
-But demoness I'm made from less
-I cannot stress I wish you well
-I wish you well
A sincere wish for the well-being of the troubled individual.
If only you'd seen the look on my face when I found out
Reflection on deception, self-betrayal, and the consequences of hating oneself.
You weren't all that you said and you lied when I asked how
-Could you betray yourself
-Lie to become somebody else
-Just because you hate yourself
-Doesn't give you the green light
-To wage war on everyone else
-Give you the green light
-To wage war on everyone else
-Words were made for love
Words intended for love are twisted into tools for pain; resilience against adversity.
And melted down to use for pain
-Thinly veiled insults siege my brain
-Until the end of days
-I'll forge my face
-To bear the flame
-That wrought our name
-NOFACE lives and breathes
Reference to "NOFACE" as a symbolic entity present in everyone, acknowledging personal struggles.
In each of us we know the sword we claim
-She said save me from myself
Repetition of the plea to save someone from self-destruction, emphasizing the speaker's empathy.
And as much as it breaks my heart
-It's not my place to tell
-Darling I know that you're
-Dealing with a lot in hell
-But demoness I'm made from less
-I cannot stress I wish you well
-I wish you well
Reiteration of a genuine wish for the troubled individual's well-being.
If only you felt my heart as it dropped to my stomach
Describes a moment of emotional impact and helplessness due to a revelation of betrayal.
There wasn't anything I could have done
-And you didn't even love him
-Could you betray yourself
Revisits themes of self-betrayal and the undesirability of waging war on others due to personal struggles.
Lie to become somebody else
-Just because you hate yourself
-Doesn't give you the green light
-To wage war on everyone else
-Give you the green light
-To wage war on everyone else
-War on everyone else
Repetition of the idea of giving permission for self-destructive behavior towards others.
Give you the green light
-To wage war on everyone else
