Lyrics

Oh dear, I feel like North Korea in the winter

Feeling isolated and cold, akin to the harsh winter in North Korea.

I've got a toxic touch because everything is dying all around me

Having a negative impact on everything around, symbolized by a toxic touch.

Lovers pet some plants, cousins, uncles, aunts

Various relationships involved, but a warning to run away before regret sets in.

So run like the devil before you regret you ever found me

Encouraging others to flee like the devil before potential consequences arise.

All I have to say

Expressing the limited capacity to communicate or influence.

The news, it's made me this way

The constant exposure to negative news has shaped the speaker's perspective.

Another horror every day

Describing a daily influx of horrors from the news.

So on your knees and pray

Suggesting a plea for divine intervention or guidance through prayer.


It's purely anecdotal

Events narrated are based on personal experiences rather than statistical evidence.

More than the sum total

Throw me down the waste disposal

Expressing a desire to be discarded like waste due to personal flaws.

I have a heart like Chernobyl

Comparing the speaker's heart to Chernobyl, suggesting emotional devastation.


People escaping the war in boats

Referencing the plight of refugees and the callousness in observing their fate.

Tip them over and see who floats

Suggesting a lack of empathy by proposing a cruel game with refugees.

When I'm faced with people dying

Conveying emotional detachment when faced with death, akin to watching a soap opera.

No emotion, it's like watching a soap

Describing the absence of emotion when witnessing tragedy.

Appeal to my better nature

An appeal to the speaker's better nature, a plea for empathy.

And tell me Jesus is the answer

Sarcastically dismissing religious solutions, emphasizing cynicism.

He tried to see the good in everyone

Acknowledging an attempt by Jesus to see the good in everyone.

But Jesus was a naive romancer

Critiquing Jesus as naive in matters of romance or idealism.


It's purely anecdotal

Reiterating the personal nature of experiences over statistical analysis.

More than the sum total

It's purely anecdotal

Restating the personal and anecdotal nature of the speaker's experiences.

I'm Constantinople

Comparing the speaker to Constantinople, emphasizing historical significance.

Every army falls, invading my wars

Referencing military history and the inevitable collapse of invading forces.

I have a heart like Chernobyl

Reiterating the emotional devastation within the speaker's heart.


Watch out for reactor five

Warning about a specific reactor, possibly metaphorical for personal danger.

Nobody gets out alive

Asserting the inevitability of death, emphasizing its inescapable nature.

So do just what you have to do

Advising practical actions to survive in challenging circumstances.

If you're gonna survive

Encouraging survival instincts in the face of adversity.

It's all the fault of the media

Blaming the media for societal issues and instilling fear.

And all the fear they feed ya

Highlighting the negative impact of media-induced fear on individuals.

Throw me down the waste disposal

Repeating the desire to be discarded due to personal flaws.

I've a heart like Chernobyl

Reiterating the comparison of the speaker's heart to Chernobyl.
