Inflamed Nerve Endings
Adair Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"I will meet you underwater
dressed in white your eyes ablaze
tonight you'll sleep out on my couch
while I lie in bed all night awake
a room away
while I listen to you breathing in and out
and I wait

Woahh I started falling so long ago when I met you
and Ohh to hit rock bottom you will know it when I do

I will meet you underater
let you kill me every day
but God I'm tired and I'm burning
can I be there when you rain?
when you rain

It hurts so bad, it hurts so bad
can you make this go away?
It hurts so bad, it hurts so bad
can you make this go away?
It hurts so bad it, hurts so bad
can you make this go away?
It hurts so bad, it hurts so bad
can you make this go away?

Woahh I started falling so long ago when I met you
and ohh to hit rock bottom you will know it when .. know it when I do"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adair's song "Inflamed Nerve Endings" deal with the overwhelming emotional pain and the desperation of wanting to escape it. The first verse describes the singer's willingness to metaphorically drown in their pain, meeting their partner underwater dressed in white with "eyes ablaze." They then describe the physical separation between them, with the singer lying awake in bed while the other person sleeps on the couch a room away. This juxtaposition of physical closeness and emotional distance highlights the loneliness and isolation the singer feels in their pain.

The chorus talks about how the singer has been falling deeper into this emotional pain since they met their partner, and how hitting rock bottom is inevitable. They use the metaphor of drowning again to describe how they feel: the other person is killing them every day, and despite being tired and burning with this pain, the singer wants to be there when their partner "rains" or needs them.

The repetition of "It hurts so bad, can you make this go away?" is a refrain that emphasizes the singer's desperation for relief from their emotional pain. It's a cry for help and a plea for someone to understand the depth of their pain.

dressed in white your eyes ablaze
I'll come to you pure and strong

physically apart but still connected

I've been falling for you for a long time
