Lyrics
Hey don't you think you've had enough tonight
Addressing someone, suggesting they've had enough for the night.
He quickly spits his words out, full of spite
Describing the person's harsh words spoken quickly.
And even between the lines, with you and I
Hinting at unspoken tensions between the speaker and the addressed person.
Your mouth glued shut, that's enough
Suggesting a moment of silence or reflection by keeping the mouth shut.
It's all coming down
Expressing a sense of collapse or crisis.
The lines you always recite, linger with
Referencing repeated phrases with negative connotations.
A poison of who you were, before your eyes locked on her
Implying a change in the person due to a new romantic interest.
When will you see, that despite all the things you've thought
Questioning when the person will realize the world doesn't revolve around the speaker.
The world has never revolved around me
Stating a realization that the world doesn't revolve around the speaker.
Picture-fucking-perfect
Describing an idealized, flawless image.
Your words don't seem to care, even when I'm hurting
Noting a lack of empathy in the person's words even when the speaker is in pain.
And right about now, she'll see you returning
Anticipating the person's return and the impact on someone else.
And keep the bloodworks flowing, 'till I'm numb again
Describing a coping mechanism, keeping emotions numb.
Always keep 'em coming
Encouraging the continuation of a particular behavior or response.
The girl watches so faintly, keep him running
Observing a girl watching and influencing the person's actions.
Until the tears run out, I'll keep on strolling
Committing to persist until emotional exhaustion.
Across the lonely shores, still keeping score
Continuing despite loneliness, possibly alluding to emotional resilience.
Of things you've never done before
Keeping track of perceived slights or unfulfilled actions.
Picture-fucking-perfect
Reiteration of an idealized, flawless image.
Your words don't seem to care, even when I'm hurting
Reemphasizing a lack of empathy in the person's words during the speaker's pain.
And right about now, I'll see you returning
Anticipating the person's return and its impact on the speaker.
And keep the bloodworks flowing, 'till she's numb again
Describing the continuation of numbing emotions upon the person's return.
Always keep 'em coming
Encouraging the persistence of a particular behavior or response.
The girl breathing so faintly, keeps him running
Observing a girl influencing the person's actions, possibly with faint breath.
A perfect lens throughout, I'll keep on strolling
Highlighting a flawless perspective maintained by the speaker.
Across the lonely shores, still keeping score
Continuing despite loneliness and keeping track of perceived slights.
Of things you've never done before
Persistently remembering perceived shortcomings or unfulfilled actions.
