Lyrics

Is something missing in my touch, a tension tugging at my smile?

Expresses a sense of inadequacy or a feeling that something is lacking in the speaker's ability to emotionally connect or communicate effectively.

If there's a right thing to say, I'm sure I missed it by a mile

The speaker believes they have failed to articulate or express themselves appropriately, missing the mark in conveying the right message.

Swallowed in some detail, heavy in my blood

Feeling overwhelmed or burdened by intricate or specific elements, causing a weighty sensation within.

I wanna hold you close, but I can't lift my arms up

The desire to be close to someone, yet feeling physically unable to reach out due to emotional barriers or constraints.

Is there a reason for this distance?

Questioning the reason behind the emotional or psychological distance between the speaker and another person.

More than the drug that floats my days

Recognizing that there might be something other than substances (like drugs) affecting the speaker's emotions or behavior.

A nervous bug in my system, it keeps me edgy and ashamed

Describing a persistent uneasiness or discomfort within the speaker's personality that makes them feel on edge and embarrassed.

I've got a saint, never ever will forgive

Refers to someone who is revered or considered morally upright but holds a grudge against the speaker.

That never understood me but still tells me how to live

An individual who never truly understood the speaker's perspective but still offers unsolicited advice on how to live life.

It fits when I stretch and I stretch because I can

The speaker feels comfortable in situations where they can expand or adapt, even if it causes discomfort.

I stretch until I'm sore and then I open up for more

Expresses the speaker's willingness to push themselves beyond their limits, seeking more despite experiencing pain or exhaustion.

I do it out of habit, not addiction

Actions performed out of routine rather than a compulsive need.

And if I give it up, clean out my blood

Speculation on whether eliminating a particular habit or behavior would change the speaker's feelings of boredom and disconnection.

Will I still feel bored and disconnected?

Questioning whether abandoning certain actions would affect the speaker's emotional state, leading to feelings of disengagement and lack of interest.

If I do it all for love, will I ever give enough?

Contemplating whether the speaker's actions are motivated purely by love and if their efforts are sufficient.

‘Cuz you can never be too pure or too connected

Asserting that one cannot be excessively morally upright or too emotionally connected.

You can never be too pure or too connected

Reiterating the idea that being exceptionally pure or deeply connected emotionally is not a negative attribute.

You can never be too pure

Emphasizing the idea that striving for purity or strong emotional connections is not a flaw.
