Lyrics
She
Expressing a female presence
Could be my saviour now
Suggesting the potential to save or help
She
Reiteration of the female presence
Could be my sin
Hinting at the possibility of being a source of wrongdoing
Rescue me from good intentions, cos my heart is caving in
Seeking salvation from well-intentioned actions, as they lead to emotional distress
She
Reiteration of the female as a potential source of escape or addiction
Could be my heroin
Comparing the allure of the female to a drug, possibly highlighting dependency
Cos I crave
Expressing a strong desire for the taste or experience associated with the female
The way she tastes
Continuation of the desire for the female's presence
Please rescue me from good intentions
Pleading for rescue from well-intentioned actions that have led to heartache
My heart has gone to waste
Acknowledging emotional distress and a sense of loss
Yes I've been feeling lost
Admitting to a feeling of being directionless or confused
Yes I've been feeling lost
Reiteration of a sense of being lost
I'm putting on my Warpaint
Preparing for a metaphorical or emotional battle
I'm practising my cry
Practicing emotional vulnerability or expression
It's been so long since you and I were "you and I"
Reflecting on a past connection and its transformation
Now I'm going into battle for the 42nd time
Entering a new emotional challenge, possibly a relationship
It's dangerous and it's masochistic
Describing the emotional challenge as risky and self-inflicting
But it's not a crime
Stating that despite its challenges, pursuing the emotional battle is not morally wrong
It's not a crime
Reiteration that the emotional battle is not morally wrong
I said "Don't look at me like that"
Responding to a judgmental or intense gaze
I give the eye right back
Asserting the act of returning a similar gaze
No, I can't help myself when shes around
Expressing difficulty in controlling oneself when the female is present
Now don't stand so close to me
Setting a physical boundary due to emotional intensity
Yeah your heart beats girl, my heart eats
Noting the impact of the female's presence on the speaker's emotions
I want to get us playing to the same sound.
Desiring emotional harmony and connection with the female
The same old
Referencing a desire for familiarity or consistency
Sound
Emphasizing the longing for a familiar emotional state or relationship
