Accidents
Alexisonfireᦂ Lyrics

I'm not sure what's worse
The singer is uncertain whether waiting or being in the waiting room is worse

The waiting or the waiting room
The singer is considering the unpleasantness of both waiting and the environment of the waiting room

"You're next sir" becomes cruel taunt to you
The singer feels taunted by the announcement of their turn coming up

Recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant
The artist is describing the unpleasant smells and sensations of the waiting room

Your god is a two door elevator
The artist is comparing the experience to being controlled by a higher power and feeling helpless

Do they even cure you?
The singer doubts the effectiveness of the medical treatments offered

(Cut me open drug me) or it is just to humor us
The singer is questioning whether the procedures are actually helpful or just done to placate patients

(Repair all my defects) before we die
The artist acknowledges that people are flawed and may need repairs, but questions the priority of such repairs when faced with mortality

If only we could heal ourselves
The artist wishes for self-sufficiency and freedom from medical dependence

We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines
The artist desires independence from medical technology

Let's redefine (what it means to heal)
The singer wants to rethink the traditional concept of healing

Whoa whoa whoa
The artist is using an interjection to emphasize the importance of their message

Whao whoa whoa
The singer is using an interjection to emphasize the importance of their message
