Lyrics
Try to keep her down beside, but last night I set her free
Attempting to restrain her, but recently I allowed her freedom
Free to let her spirit fly, left my choking stare behind
Giving her the freedom to express her spirit, leaving my controlling gaze behind
Maybe if her will could grow, she might feel the need to leave
Suggesting that if her willpower could develop, she might feel the urge to depart
Dying in my shadow, doubting I could ever let her be herself
Feeling as if she's fading away in my influence, doubting my ability to let her be herself
A sinful reflection of me, will I ever set her free?
Seeing her as a reflection of my flaws, questioning if I'll ever allow her true freedom
My love has shut her up, break the spirit I don't understand
My love has silenced her, breaking her spirit in a way I can't comprehend
'cause even as we're walking hand in hand, my life cuts her up
Despite walking hand in hand, my existence harms her
An evil way to build me strong, a sad judge and so uptight
Reflecting on a negative way I've built myself, acting as a harsh judge and overly rigid
It's too bad I'm so hung up
Expressing regret for being too emotionally attached or preoccupied
I ask a simple question when I know the answer right
Pretending to ask a simple question, already knowing the answer
I ask me if I love her as I tell her it's all right
Questioning my love for her while reassuring her that everything is fine
But nothing in my life would fit, I turned into an idiot
Feeling that nothing in my life fits, becoming foolish or irrational
Vampire, draining her desire
Describing myself as a vampire, draining her passion or enthusiasm
Vampire, smother her with love
Continuing the vampire metaphor, suggesting smothering her with excessive love
When nothing in her life would fit she came upon an idiot
Reiterating the feeling of misfit in her life, encountering someone like an idiot
Vampire
Emphasizing the vampire metaphor
Vampire
Repeating the vampire motif
