Running with Scissors
Casino Madrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love was picture perfect,
Leave her for dead she's never coming back.
You finally get what you deserve.
I'll take it back, I swear I'll take it back.
'Cause sometimes it's hard to swallow,
The thought of not seeing you again.
These nights are getting longer.
Sound asleep with a bullet in her back,
Leave her for dead 'cause she's never coming back.
Alright, okay, it's just not the same as yesterday.
As yesterday, as yesterday.
Take a look in the mirror, pull yourself together.
Have patience, have patience, have patience my friend.
Well alright, okay, it's just not the same as yesterday.
A kiss goodbye a tear to my eye.
It's finally over now, thank God.
I don't wanna fall into another broken heart,
I don't wanna fall into another broken,
I don't wanna fall into another broken heart.
Lies! Lies! Lies!
Something's gotta change.
What made you think I'd be here all along?
Don't cling to me saying you need it, need it.
Once you're done trying bring me down,
Sad to say I'm sorry, but it's over, and I'm over you.
Take a look in the mirror pull yourself together.
Have patience my friend.
Well alright, okay.
It's just not the same as yesterday, as yesterday.
A kiss goodbye a tear to my eye.
It's finally over now, thank God...
I say kill her! Bury her! Whatever it takes!
Save me savior every sound she makes!
Leave her! Leave her! Leave her for dead!!!
The lyrics to "Running with Scissors" by Casino Madrid depict a dark and twisted love story that has turned into a tale of revenge. The song talks about a person shooting their lover in the back and leaving them for dead. As the song progresses, the singer seems to regret their actions and longs for their love back, but then switches back to anger and bitterness, ending on a violent note again. The lyrics are well written with a lot of vivid imagery, which makes it easy for the listener to feel the emotions behind the words. The phrase "running with scissors" typically means to take chances and risks, and the song implies the risks that come with falling in love.
The lyrics are haunting, and show the complexities of being in love and the way it can warp one's mind. The singer is portrayed as someone who is desperately in love, but then is driven to commit a violent act due to their anger and frustration. They are a victim of their own emotions, representing the destructive force of love in some cases. The use of the phrase "kill her," is a jarring moment in the song, showing how easily emotions can spin out of control.

Chorus
Follow me, f-ollow me home!
Under my domain!
..."
Dammit!
Fuck it nvm. I got their song stuck in my head, searched Myspace and all, cannot find them. I rediscovered older underground bands like City Escape, My Ticket Home and A Textbook Tragedy but can't for the life of me find this other electrionic-emocore band. Some of their songs had something along the lines of "The ? and the Wolf" and "? Atlai"... Honestly I cannot remember those either lol. Their first two to three songs were emocore, followed by electronicore, then heavier emocore. I can remember their songs but not the name of the band or their titles. I love them and they're underground as all hell. Dammmmmit :(
FOLLOW ME, F-FOLLOW ME, HOME!
I thought it was My Ticket Home but I suppose not. Dammmmnnn
