A Perfect Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burnt reruns and memories. I rot but these aren't mine. Demons circle my body. Fraying away light inside. You look OK there so this can't be real. You can't be alive. You can't be anything. I can't see. Only projectors in my heart. I can't move. and I can't breathe. It comes to haunt me. Get out of me, can't you remember who I am? And who I want to be? I'm afraid to open my eyes.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A Perfect Kiss's "Song" are open to interpretation, but it seems to describe a struggle with difficult memories and inner demons. The first line suggests that the singer is haunted by memories, perhaps of a painful past relationship or other traumatic experience. The idea that "these aren't mine" could imply that the singer feels like they are carrying someone else's burdens or being haunted by someone else's ghosts.


The next line about "demons circling my body" feels like a metaphorical expression of emotional pain or psychological distress. The phrase "fraying away light inside" could suggest that the singer is losing hope or feeling like their spirit is being drained. The line "you look OK there so this can't be real" could imply a disconnection from reality or a sense of feeling like an outsider looking in on their own life.


The refrain of "get out of me, can't you remember who I am?" suggests that the singer is seeking to break free from the grip of their memories and their inner demons. The line "I'm afraid to open my eyes" could suggest a fear of facing their own pain and the need to acknowledge it in order to move forward. Overall, the lyrics seem to express a sense of feeling trapped and haunted, but with a glimmer of hope that things could change for the better.
