Flesh Wound
Exploring Life's Wounds
Lyrics
We flew over miles of ocean--be prepared.
We traveled across a vast distance of ocean—be ready.
I don't have the faintest notion who'll be there.
I have no idea who will be present at the destination.
You underestimated; nobody sympathized.
You didn't comprehend fully; no one showed sympathy.
I think you'll soon feel better once we get inside.
I believe you'll improve once we enter the place.
I see the door is open -- Why don't we walk right in?
I notice the entrance is open—why not enter immediately?
Let's put our party hats on and let the fun begin!
Let's get in the celebratory mood and start enjoying ourselves!
We should have called and said that we were on our way;
We should have notified them about our arrival.
Who would have ever guessed that you'd be so unreachable?
No one could have predicted that you would be so hard to reach.
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in my side
Just another minor injury causing distress.
Just another flesh wound--another wonder-cure that you tried
Just another attempted solution for a problem.
Just another flesh wound--another scratch on your hide
Another insignificant injury causing discomfort.
Just another flesh wound--another irritation you abide
Another annoyance or inconvenience you endure.
You know the rumour's going that he was synthesized.
Rumors suggest that he was artificially created.
And if we had to dress, I wouldn't be surprised.
If we had to dress up, it wouldn't surprise me.
I say -- you're so outrageous -- you'll go to number one!
You are so extraordinary that you will become highly popular!
They'll have us both arrested for having too much fun.
We might get into trouble for having too much fun.
Just another flesh wound--another scratch on your hide.
Similar to line 11, another minor injury causing discomfort.
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in your side.
Similar to line 9, another minor problem causing trouble.
Just another flesh wound--another bruise on your pride.
Another small injury affecting your self-esteem.
Just another flesh wound--another paranoia that you hide.
Another fear or suspicion that you keep hidden.
And when she held her nose, she took an underdose.
When she ignored something, she didn't take enough.
It was nice to see her completely comatose.
It was satisfying to witness her completely unconscious.
You go first, you're completely debonair;
You go first, displaying a suave and sophisticated demeanor.
Let's go dutch -- it's only fair.
Let's split the cost—fairness in sharing expenses.
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in your side.
Reiterating a minor problem causing distress.
Just another flesh wound--a minor injury you dignified.
Another minor injury that you handle with dignity.
Just another flesh wound--another unsuccessful suicide.
Another attempt at self-harm that didn’t succeed.
Just another flesh wound--another curse that you ride.
Another burden or hardship that you endure.
