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.
