Adair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the sun melt you from my memory
I'll drink myself to sleep and escape
The nightmares of being awake
I'll set the air afire
You never even tried to tell me
What went wrong, what went wrong
In this train wreck that we built together
Under shaking skin, underneath it all
Kill me from within Kill me, kill me
You said always
Say you will, pretend to care
Say you will be there
Always
Say you will, pretend to care
Say you will be there
Always
Steal my breath, taint the air
Every bone in my body's been broken
And my life is a jaw wired shut,
My voice is my curse and my shelter from the pain
And I'm breathing carbon just to fall
Asleep at night Asleep at night
In this train wreck that we built together
Nothing's right, nothing's right
I'm teething
I'm cutting gums for the first time
Under shaking skin, underneath it all
Kill me from within Kill me, kill me
You said always
Say you will, pretend to care
Say you will be there
Always
Say you will, pretend to care
Say you will be there
You said always
You're stabbing my heart
Broken hearts, broken doors
Dying on a hotel floor
Because of a small black box you couldn't receive
I'll drive you home tomorrow in silence My sister will return it
This is the end of the summer, and the beginnings of the fall
You'll leave me two months later In an airport goodbye
And as the weeks go on the letters and the phone calls decrease
Ah, to fade from memory
So keep the punches coming:
left,right,right,left,left
Kick the throat you used to kiss
Push face into concrete
A smile, a giant fist
The bloody face of bliss
And as I gasp for my last breath,
I crawl back into your perfect poison arms

Line by Line Meaning
I'll peel back the skin from my head
I'll remove all memories of you from my mind
Let the sun melt you from my memory
I'll try to forget you with the help of the sun
I'll drink myself to sleep and escape
I'll consume alcohol to forget the pain and sleep
The nightmares of being awake
I'm tormented even when I'm conscious
I'll set the air afire
I'll burn everything in my anger and despair
You never even tried to tell me
You didn't communicate with me about what went wrong
What went wrong, what went wrong
I'm questioning what caused our relationship to fail
In this train wreck that we built together
Our relationship is in shambles, which we both contributed to
Under shaking skin, underneath it all
Despite what's visible on the surface, I'm struggling internally
Kill me from within Kill me, kill me
The emotional pain is unbearable, and I wish for it to end
Say you will, pretend to care
You made empty promises and pretended to care
Say you will be there Always
You claimed you would always be around for me
Steal my breath, taint the air
You took my breath away and made my life miserable
Every bone in my body's been broken
I feel shattered and broken on the inside
And my life is a jaw wired shut,
I'm unable to speak up about my troubles
My voice is my curse and my shelter from the pain
Expressing myself causes more pain but also provides relief
And I'm breathing carbon just to fall Asleep at night Asleep at night
I'm struggling to sleep, resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms
Nothing's right, nothing's right
Everything feels wrong and hopeless
I'm teething I'm cutting gums for the first time
I'm experiencing heartache for the first time and it's unbearable
You're stabbing my heart Broken hearts, broken doors Dying on a hotel floor
You hurt me so much that I feel like I'm dying
Because of a small black box you couldn't receive
Our relationship was damaged due to a failure to receive communication
I'll drive you home tomorrow in silence My sister will return it
I'll return the small black box to you through my sister in silence
This is the end of the summer, and the beginnings of the fall
Our relationship ended as summer transitioned into fall
You'll leave me two months later In an airport goodbye
You'll leave me two months after our breakup in a goodbye at the airport
And as the weeks go on the letters and the phone calls decrease
Our communication dwindles over time
Ah, to fade from memory
I wish for our memories to fade away into nothingness
So keep the punches coming: left,right,right,left,left
I'm ready to take the pain, no matter how much is thrown at me
Kick the throat you used to kiss Push face into concrete
You hurt me so much that I want to hurt you back
A smile, a giant fist The bloody face of bliss
The physical fight doesn't bring joy or relief, only pain
And as I gasp for my last breath, I crawl back into your perfect poison arms
Even though you hurt me, I still long for you and the relationship we had

Remember seeing these guys on Taste of Chaos tour like... 15 years ago(?), and loving them. This is the second time I've "re-discovered" them and I'mma make damn sure I don't ever forget about them again

i met this guys a ton of times at concerts. they are amazing down to earth boys.... the minute i found out they broke up i was heart broken. i think they could have gotten huge if they had hung around a lil longer.

I love ths song. We don't have awesome mmuic like that anymore, even if it's only about a three-year difference. We also don't have music videos like this anymore. A horrible tragedy that they're gone... :( :(
