Lyrics
Throw them
Expressing the act of discarding or getting rid of something.
I'll make a nest with the sticks
Symbolizing the creation of a comfortable place using simple materials.
And i'll find a home in it
Desire to find a sense of belonging or stability in the created space.
And they'll grow into me as i sleep
Metaphorically referring to personal growth and change during rest.
Go on then
Encouraging someone to proceed with their actions.
I'll make a fire with the stones
Creating warmth and comfort using unconventional means.
And it'll burn me alive
Acknowledging the potential destructive consequences of actions.
But at least until i die i won't be cold
Finding solace in facing the consequences as long as warmth is maintained.
I can't move
Expressing a sense of immobility with a new justification or reason.
But this time i've got an excuse
Claiming a valid excuse for the perceived lack of movement.
There's nothing left in me
Conveying emptiness or depletion of personal resources.
If there was i'd try to give it all to you
Expressing a willingness to give everything if there was something left.
Oh to you
Reiterating the commitment to the recipient of the giving.
Slowly i'll take back the pieces i gave you
Gradual retrieval of the contributions made to someone.
I never thought they would break you
Expressing surprise at the unexpected vulnerability or breaking of the other person.
And i'm sorry you ever met me at all
Expressing regret or remorse for the impact on the other person.
You can blame me
Accepting responsibility for the situation.
I thought we landed this softly
Belief in a gentle or soft landing that turns out to be painful.
Now there's spikes in our feet
Metaphorically referencing unexpected difficulties or challenges.
And i need you to know
Stressing the need for the other person to understand the pain.
That it's painful for me too
Acknowledging personal suffering in the situation.
I can't breathe
Expressing a sense of suffocation or inability to breathe.
Oh why didn't you see
Expressing regret or frustration that the other person didn't realize.
There was never anything in me
Affirming a lack of positive qualities or goodness within.
That could've been any good for you
Acknowledging personal unsuitability for the well-being of the other person.
Oh for you, oh
Reiterating the lack of compatibility or benefit for the other person.
I feel safer hugged by the pain of being alone
Choosing the perceived safety of loneliness over the vulnerability of intimacy.
Than i do when somebody holds me
Highlighting discomfort or unease when being held by someone.
And i know it wasn't fair to you
Acknowledging the unfairness of the situation for the other person.
Believe me if i knew
Expressing a wish for awareness that could have prevented the current situation.
We wouldn't be here anymore
Stating a hypothetical scenario where awareness would have changed the outcome.
I thought that this could be it
Initial hope or belief in a positive outcome that turns out to be false.
But it's really not
Realization that the expected positive outcome is not materializing.
And now i'll never trust my gut
Loss of trust in personal instincts or intuition.
Me and my friendly bacteria
Metaphorically describing a severed connection with beneficial elements.
Are no longer friends
Declaring the end of a friendship with the metaphor of friendly bacteria.
'Cause they didn't tell me
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the unexpected pain.
It would hurt this much
Reiterating the absence of prior warning about the intensity of pain.
They didn't tell me it would
Emphasizing the lack of information about the extent of emotional distress.
No they didn't tell me it would
Repeating the absence of forewarning about emotional pain.
Oh they didn't tell me it would
Reiterating the absence of information about emotional pain.
Hurt this much
Expressing the overwhelming and unexpected intensity of emotional pain.
