Lyrics
Nothing there in the night
Absence or emptiness in the night, a sense of nothingness.
Wasn't clear in the day
Lack of clarity during the day, uncertainty or confusion.
Nothing left in the light
Nothing remaining in the light, perhaps a metaphor for lost opportunities or hope.
Nothing stood in the way
No obstacles in the way, a clear path, or a lack of challenges.
No mark I could make
Inability to leave a lasting mark that cannot be erased.
You can't wash away
The inability to wash away a certain experience or memory.
Nothing left but the scar
Only a scar remains, a lasting reminder of past wounds or experiences.
Nothing left i could say
Unable to express or communicate anything meaningful.
So come and take your pound of flesh
An invitation or acceptance of suffering or sacrifice.
Come along with all the rest
Joining others in a shared experience or fate.
You're a kid with a knife
Metaphorically portraying someone dangerous, possibly with ill intentions.
Stabbing wild in the night
Engaging in reckless or harmful behavior during the night.
And my body knows
Awareness of one's own physical reactions or instincts.
It's gotta give up the ghost
A realization that one must let go of something, surrender to the inevitable.
I was prey in the dark
Being a target or victim in the darkness.
You bored of the chase
Losing interest or enthusiasm for the pursuit.
You were a song
Metaphorically contrasting two individuals with different qualities.
I was a wraith
A ghost-like presence or shadow in the context of the relationship.
Now I walk in the night
Roaming in the night, possibly outside the realm of the relationship.
Outside your place
Being present near someone's place, possibly with a purpose.
Remember the sound
Recalling the sound and the face of a significant memory.
Remember your face
Reflecting on a memorable face associated with past experiences.
My demons all come out to play
The emergence of personal struggles or challenges.
Come to take your love away
A threat to take away love or positive emotions.
You're a kid with a knife
Reiteration of someone dangerous, emphasizing the use of a knife.
Stabbing wild in the night
Continuation of reckless or harmful actions during the night.
And my body knows
Reiteration of bodily awareness and the need for surrender.
It's gotta give up the ghost
Reinforcement of the idea of letting go or surrendering.
We danced with the devil, skin on skin
Engaging in risky or morally ambiguous activities with another person.
Wine drunk in another life
Recalling a past life, possibly involving indulgence in pleasure.
I watched you spin
Observing someone in a state of enjoyment or abandon.
Come back close, pin me down between
Describing a close encounter that exposes personal flaws and contradictions.
The lies I told and the boy I used to be
The struggle between lies and one's former self.
You're a kid with a knife
Reiteration of someone dangerous, emphasizing the use of a knife.
Stabbing wild in the night
Continuation of reckless or harmful actions during the night.
And my body knows
Reiteration of bodily awareness and the need for surrender.
It's gotta give up the ghost
Reinforcement of the idea of letting go or surrendering.
You're a kid with a knife
Reiteration of someone dangerous, emphasizing the use of a knife.
Stabbing wild in the night
Continuation of reckless or harmful actions during the night.
And my body knows
Reiteration of bodily awareness and the need for surrender.
It's gotta give up the ghost
Final reinforcement of the idea of letting go or surrendering.
