Lyrics

Here it comes, another lonely night

Expressing anticipation of another night filled with loneliness.

I'm waking up in my clothes

Awakening after a night's sleep still dressed, implying a restless or troubled state.

I know this place is poison, but I'm coming back for a lethal dose

Acknowledging the harmful nature of a place but willingly returning, perhaps for the thrill or allure.

I got fist full of chances and a washed up angel to fill me up with bad advice

Having opportunities (chances) and seeking guidance from someone who may not be reliable (washed up angel).

Sex and God and lust and I just hope that maybe I can get this right

Expressing a desire for meaningful connections amid the complexities of sex, God, and lust.


'Cause I want and I need

Expressing wants and needs, possibly in the context of a relationship.

Do you really want to see me bleed

Pondering whether the other person is willing to witness and understand personal struggles (bleeding metaphorically).

'Cause I can't get nothin' from your secondhand heart

Expressing dissatisfaction with receiving nothing substantial from a partner's emotionally detached heart.

I get nothing from your secondhand heart

Reiterating the lack of fulfillment from the partner's emotionally distant heart.


Filling pages with the same old secrets

Repeating the act of recording one's innermost thoughts and feelings without resolving the issue.

I still want just you

Despite other temptations, still desiring the same person.

Blackbird on a lonely wire

Using a metaphor of a blackbird on a lonely wire to convey feelings of solitude and separation.

Do you think about me too?

Asking whether the other person thinks about the speaker in return.

I want something that I can hold onto

Expressing a need for something tangible and enduring in a relationship.

I don't care if it's wrong or right

Indifferent to moral judgment, expressing a willingness to hold onto something meaningful, regardless of societal norms.

Sex and God and lust and I just hope that maybe I can get this right

Reiterating the hope for success in navigating the complexities of sex, God, and lust.


I end up every time just playing your twisted games

Describing a pattern of engaging in manipulative or deceptive games with the same person repeatedly.

I light myself on fire and you just watch as I go up in flames

Metaphorically setting oneself on fire, possibly symbolizing self-destructive behavior, while the other person remains passive.
