Ex's And Oh's
Atreyu Lyrics

You took me home
The person singing allowed their ex to bring them home

I drank too much
The person singing consumed an excessive amount of alcohol

'Cause of you my liver turned to dust
The person singing blames their ex for causing harm to their liver due to excessive drinking

Cold rust taste
The person singing describes the unpleasant taste left in their mouth from drinking too much

A cruel creeping cold pain
The person singing describes the physical discomfort they experienced from drinking too much

Do you understand what I mean?
The person singing questions if their ex understands the pain they caused

When you feel your soul drop to the floor
The person singing describes the emotional distress they experienced from their ex's actions

Like a hole, like an open bleeding sore
The person singing compares their emotional pain to a physical wound

Then you'll have bled like I bled
The person singing expresses that their ex will experience similar pain to what they went through

And you'll have wept as I've wept
The person singing expresses that their ex will go through the same emotional pain they did

Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll
The person singing is succumbing to the temptation of being with their ex again

Let's hit the bar, let's lose control
The person singing suggests going out and drinking to excess with their ex

One false move, you took me home
The person singing blames their ex for taking advantage of them and bringing them home

One false move, you're all alone
The person singing suggests that their ex will eventually be alone due to their actions

But it looks so good and it feels so nice
The person singing admits they are physically attracted to their ex

I paid the price
The person singing acknowledges the negative consequences they faced from being with their ex

I'll cut you out just to hear you scream
The person singing desires to cause pain to their ex, even if it means completely cutting them out of their life

Get away from, get away from me
The person singing wants their ex to stay away from them

And I can feel my heartbeat racing
The person singing feels anxious and stressed

As I realize what I must do
The person singing has come to a decision about what they need to do

Get away from
The person singing repeats their desire to be away from their ex

You fell upon me like a plague
The person singing compares their ex's presence to something harmful and destructive

Weakness, sweet weakness
The person singing acknowledges their vulnerability and susceptibility to their ex's advances

But I digress after all this
The person singing acknowledges they should have moved on from their ex by now

You're just like all the rest
The person singing lumps their ex in with all of their past failed relationships
