Capture & Release
Beautiful Bodies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I like you
I am bold, cynical, and so, so difficult
That's why I fight you
I'm letting you in
Crawl under my sheets
Well baby you win
The more I'm a bitch
The more you can't quit
The more you like it
Yeah admit it
Top shelf
Out of reach
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And you talk so cheap
Keep me on my feet
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're evil, sinister, and always political
So I despise you
I am home, you should come, take me now or take off
I would advise you
Top shelf
Out of reach
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And you talk so cheap
Keep me on my feet
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Damn it I need it
I need it so bad
With your skin so hot
How can you act cold
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You better believe it
I'll use you like that
So use me like that
Use me like that
Top shelf
Out of reach
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Top shelf
Out of reach
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And you talk so cheap
Keep me on my feet
We play capture and release
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Always there in the back of my head
I fight it
I told myself I won't go back
Tonight yeah
The beginning of "Capture & Release" represents the theme of the song as a whole. It is about two people who have a toxic and extremely difficult relationship. The opening lines "You are cold, critical, analytical, that's why I like you / I am bold, cynical, and so, so difficult, that's why I fight you" shows that they both are attracted to each other but are difficult to handle at the same time.
The lyrics "Top shelf, out of reach, we play capture and release" symbolizes the power struggle between them. The phrase 'top shelf' indicates high standards, not easy to obtain, reflecting the other person in the relationship. 'Out of reach' refers to the person they crave but can't have, yet they continue to play this game of cat and mouse 'capture and release.' The line "And you talk so cheap, keep me on my feet" reveals that they enjoy the challenge and excitement that comes with the fight.
The song almost creates a sense of addiction between the two people who are involved in this toxic relationship. They both need one another, and the more they hurt each other and make it hard, the more they are addicted to this emotional entanglement. This song shows that people can become addicted to adrenaline rushes and excitement in their life, even if it means they have to engage in toxic relationships.

Saw them on Warped last week, they were crazy awesome live, Alicia interacts with the crowd like no one I have ever seen, and she is a total sweetheart in person, and definitely a hugger lol! The guys seemed really chill as well! If you're going to any of the Warped dates that are left, I highly recommend checking them out!
