Lyrics

We sit so patiently

We are waiting patiently.

Our heads are pointed to the floor

We are feeling down or defeated.

I cut your mouth wide

The speaker metaphorically inflicts pain or damage on someone.

These scars will make you smile

The scars resulting from the pain will create a forced smile.

So you can't fake it anymore

To reveal authenticity, preventing pretense.

Pull this car over, we could drive this road forever

Suggesting a desire for a prolonged journey but with doubt.

But I don't think I'll make it any farther

Expressing uncertainty about reaching the destination.

I can see how this will end

Anticipation of a negative outcome based on experience.

We sit so patiently

Repetition of waiting patiently, perhaps highlighting endurance.

Our heads are pointed to the floor

Repetition of feeling down or defeated.

I cut your mouth wide

Repeating the infliction of pain metaphorically.

These scars will make you smile

Reiteration of the forced smile concept through scars.

So you can't fake it anymore

Reiterating the idea of revealing authenticity.

The sirens are singing

The presence of danger or warning signals.

I can hear the hell they're bringing

Awareness of impending trouble or chaos.

Yet, we keep on driving the nail into this coffin

Continuation of destructive behavior despite warnings.

I can see how this will end

Reiteration of anticipating a negative outcome.

The truth can be so ugly so lie to me and tell me that you love me

Acknowledging that truth can be unpleasant, requesting a comforting lie.

And I'll reply "nothing's ever going to work out"

Expecting negativity in response to expressions of love.

Wait, wait, I think I sense a crash

Sensing a potential disaster or failure.

Put my teeth on the dash

Physically engaging with the impending crash, embracing chaos.

Because I need to taste this mess

Expressing a need to confront and experience the mess.

I need to taste this mess

Reiteration of the desire to taste and confront chaos.

Nothing's ever going to work out

Reiteration of a negative outlook on the future.
