Lyrics
Dead air was all I heard
Experiencing silence or lack of communication.
Dead eyes, dead dreams deferred
Feeling lifeless, with unfulfilled dreams.
I'm hung up on your last word
Focused on the final message or statement received.
On the way down
Descending or facing a downfall.
On the way down
-Tell me is a fighter what you need?
Questioning if strength or resilience is desired.
Or does it turn you on to watch me bleed? Hey
Wondering if witnessing suffering is appealing.
Baby, look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
Asking for genuine love and honesty, willing to be a secret.
Say it like you mean it, you don't wanna make me cry
-Spread your wicked mind on me and tell me that you want me
-'Cause I could be your dirty, oh, so dirty little lie
-Unchain my weathered wild
Requesting freedom from emotional constraints.
Admit I'm your bastard child
Acknowledging a less-than-ideal relationship.
Your silence is so loud
Noting the impact of silent treatment.
All the way down
Emphasizing a continued descent or decline.
All the way down
-Tell me is the darkness all you see?
Questioning if darkness defines perception.
Let me touch you for real and I'll set you free, hey, hey
Promising liberation through genuine connection.
Baby, look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
Reiterating the desire for truthful love and acceptance of hidden aspects.
Say it like you mean it, you don't wanna make me cry
-Spread your wicked mind on me and tell me that you want me
-'Cause I could be your dirty, oh, so dirty little lie
-So dirty, your little lie
Highlighting the seductive nature of a concealed lie.
So dirty
-Dirty
-So dirty, your little lie
-So dirty
-Dirty
-Baby, look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
Repeating the plea for sincere love and acknowledgment of the potential deception.
Say it like you mean it, you don't wanna make me cry (you don't wanna make me cry)
-Spread your wicked mind on me and tell me that you want me (oh, tell me that you want me)
-'Cause I could be your dirty, oh, so dirty little lie (oh, I can, oh, I can)
-Baby, look me in the eye and tell me that you love me (baby, look me in the eye)
Re-emphasizing the need for genuine expression and acceptance of the less desirable.
Say it like you mean it, you don't wanna make me cry (say it like you mean it, do you mean it?)
-Spread your wicked mind on me and tell me that you want me (oh, tell me that you want me)
-'Cause I could be your dirty, oh, so dirty little lie
-So dirty, your little lie
Continuing the theme of the allure of a concealed truth and the speaker's willingness to be a hidden, "dirty" secret.
So dirty
-Dirty
-So dirty, your little lie
-So dirty
-Dirty
-So dirty, your little lie
-So dirty
-Dirty
-So dirty, your little lie
-So dirty
-Dirty
