Lyrics
Feel me feel me feel me
Expressing a desire for attention or connection
Do you want to know
Prompting the question of whether there is interest in understanding
What it takes, what it takes for me, for me to let go
Asking what it takes for the speaker to let go emotionally
Spit me out on the sink, you're the type I like to drink
Describing a person who is appealing, but possibly harmful
You really really, really really make me think
Reflecting on the impact of the person on the speaker's thoughts
And if I fall, what will you do
Contemplating the consequences of falling for the person
Watch me slip, slip away
Anticipating slipping away, possibly into emotional distance
And if I swim, what will you say
Considering swimming, possibly making an effort, and seeking a reaction
Will you run, run away
Questioning the response if the speaker chooses to run away
Maybe we're just animals in cages
Suggesting the idea that humans are constrained or restricted
Trying to get back home to you
Expressing a longing to return home despite the constraints
Maybe we're just hooligans with phases
Suggesting a rebellious or unruly nature with changing behaviors
Oh lord, you know it's true
Acknowledging a higher power's awareness of the situation
But I tried, and you passed me by
Expressing an attempt that went unnoticed or unreciprocated
To the point where I take off the wrapper on my time
Highlighting an action that reveals vulnerability
The only thing that hurts me more than it hurts you
Stating that a particular action hurts the speaker more than the other
Is coming home with nothing to do
Describing the emptiness of returning home with nothing to do
Spin me spin me spin me
Expressing a desire to be manipulated or influenced
Turn me round and round
Describing a repetitive or cyclical motion
Kick me to the ground
Describing a negative action of being kicked to the ground
Pick me up when I feel down
Seeking support or comfort when feeling down
Throw me up you're so disgusting can't you see
Expressing disgust and questioning the desirability of the speaker
You want to be with me, you really want to be with me
Affirming that the person wants to be with the speaker
Maybe we're just animals in cages
Reiterating the idea of humans being confined or restricted
Trying to get back home to you
Repeating the theme of longing to return home despite constraints
Maybe we're just hooligans with phases
Reiterating the idea of unruly behavior with changing phases
Oh lord, you know it's true
Acknowledging the truth of the situation with a higher power
But I tried, and you passed me by
Expressing another attempt that went unnoticed or unreciprocated
To the point where I take off the wrapper on my time
Repeating the vulnerability revealed by taking off the wrapper
The only thing that hurts me more than it hurts you
Reiterating the idea that a particular action hurts the speaker more
Is coming home with nothing to do
Highlighting the emptiness of coming home with nothing to do
