Lyrics
Don't take me for no fool, I know who you are
Expressing awareness and not being deceived; acknowledging knowledge of someone's true nature.
You're holding hands with the devil and you won't go far
Accusing the person of making a pact with evil or engaging in morally questionable actions, predicting a negative outcome.
He took your arm when you were so young
Referring to a past event where the person made a commitment or got involved with something harmful.
Now he's holding you close and he's got you by the lungs
Describing a current situation where the consequences of the person's actions are severe, possibly indicating a loss of control.
And you're
Transition to a new phase of the narrative.
Coughin' up blood
Symbolizing physical or emotional distress, possibly caused by the negative consequences mentioned earlier.
And you're coughin' up blood
-Carve your name into my wrist, my one true love
Symbolic act of carving the person's name into the speaker's wrist, expressing deep emotional connection.
There is no plot twist, no push and shove
Rejecting the idea of unexpected turns in the relationship, emphasizing stability and sincerity.
You took my heart when I was so dumb
Recalling a moment of vulnerability where the speaker gave their heart to the person.
Then you sank in your teeth and you've got me by the lungs
Describing a betrayal or hurtful action by the person, implying a deep and painful impact on the speaker.
And I'm
Repeating the motif of coughing up blood as a metaphor for suffering or anguish, possibly due to the emotional pain inflicted.
Coughin' up blood
-And I'm
-Coughin' up blood
-And I'm
-Coughin' up blood
-And I'm
-Coughin' up blood
-I wanna let you go, just wanna let you know, we're not friends we're foes
Expressing a desire to distance from the person, emphasizing a hostile relationship rather than friendship.
But my love it shows, I'm lovin' you the most, when the stall is closed
Acknowledging love despite the adversarial nature of the relationship, suggesting a complicated emotional state.
And I'm
Continuation of the motif of coughing up blood, now specifying the location as the bathroom, possibly highlighting the private suffering.
Coughin' up blood, in the bathroom
-Coughin' up blood, in the bathroom stall
Reiteration of the physical distress in the bathroom stall, reinforcing the theme of internal turmoil.
