Lyrics

Turning over in interrupted slumber,

Reflects on disturbed sleep, possibly due to inner turmoil.

You ponder others, growing ever wakeful,

Suggests contemplation of others while becoming increasingly alert.

You've locked the vermin in the other bedroom,

Metaphorically locks away undesirable aspects in one's life.

To be so perfect causes you to feel so thankful,

Expresses gratitude for perfection but hints at potential drawbacks.

Now find the fault because your boyfriend can't read,

Challenges a partner's ability to understand, implying frustration.

Reflecting on to you is all the bitterness you need,

Suggests bitterness reflected back from others.

So unhappy, yet so preoccupied,

Describes a state of unhappiness coupled with preoccupation.

Never found beaten down with your forked tongue tied.

Portrays a person who remains unyielding despite criticism.


Your eulogy is like poetry,

Compares a eulogy to poetry, possibly highlighting eloquence in praising others.

But your mouth is like a magazine.

Metaphorically compares the mouth to a magazine, suggesting superficiality or artificiality.


Queen dependency is cowering, please don't be confused,

Depicts a person dependent on others, cautioning against confusion.

You are vacant and submissive, receptive to abuse,

Describes a submissive and vulnerable demeanor prone to abuse.

Virtue isn't tangible, and sense of self is dated,

Comments on intangibility of virtue and outdated self-perception.

Names constant on your cracked lips are now eviscerated,

Indicates the erosion of reputation or identity.

Your spine is made of metal, Your veins are bound in electric tape,

Uses metaphorical imagery to depict inner strength and resilience.

And all along an impulse lights at random in your face,

Describes an unpredictable emotional response.

Yough cought up an offering and forget which words are lies,

Highlights confusion and potential self-deception in communication.

Then your skull echoes a singeing pop, as your brain is cauterized.

Portrays a dramatic moment of mental realization or transformation.


Within the walls I hear all of its legs,

Introduces a metaphor involving the walls and an unknown entity with many legs.

There must be so many to carry it over our heads,

Suggests a burdensome presence carried collectively.

Seething and unsettled and oh such a let down,

Expresses disappointment and frustration.

And now these rusty spokes inside my head are making such a grating sound.

Metaphorically describes mental distress with a grating sound.
