Knives
Chicosci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So we?re dealing with the devil tonight
But still we?re speaking softly
I hear you singing to the other side
She?s sleeping with the enemy
While murdering a friend
A kiss to betray, the silent flight
And the knives
And the knives
She?s gone, let's sing her to sleep
This knife in my hand, grasping
The lies! The song is growing louder
Were you wishing I would die tonight?
My back, the color crimson
Honey, please, the crime wasn?t mine
Won?t you keep it all inside?
Don?t cut the feeding hand
A kiss to betray, the endless fuck
And the knives
And the knives
She?s gone, let's sing her to sleep
This knife in my hand, grasping
You?re gone; we?ll sing you to sleep
Nothing in your hand, fading
She?s gone, let's sing her to sleep
This knife in my hand, grasping
You?re gone; we?ll sing you to sleep
Nothing in your hand, fading
She?s gone.. sing her to sleep
This knife in my hand, grasping
Liars never learn at all
You?ve been given the chance to fly
So long, my dear
A thousand times goodbye
Liars never learn at all
You?ve been given the chance to fly
So long, my dear
A thousand times
The lyrics of Chicosci's song "Knives" are dark and intense, telling a story of betrayal, murder, and regret. The opening lines depict a scene of death, where there's a cross and a heart no longer beating. The singer seems to be dealing with the devil to seek revenge for the wrong done to them. They speak softly, even though they are consumed by anger and hate. The second verse talks about a woman who sleeps with the enemy and betrays a friend. She kisses to deceive and then silently flies away, leaving behind the knives.
The chorus repeats the line "She's gone, let's sing her to sleep" as if in mourning. The singer holds a knife and asks if the person they are addressing had wished they were dead. Their back is covered in crimson, but they claim that the crime wasn't theirs. They plead with the person to keep their betrayal a secret and not cut the feeding hand. The third verse shows that the person they were addressing is gone, and they sing to her anyway. The liars never learn, and the singer bids a thousand goodbyes to them.
Overall, the lyrics showcase the different ways betrayal can be manifested - from murder to deception. The song's theme is heavy, and the lyrics are intense, but they are also artfully crafted, with vivid imagery that brings the story to life.

A cross, a heart no longer beating
We're starting with a lifeless body
So we're dealing with the devil tonight
The situation is dangerous and dark
But still we're speaking softly
We're cautious and secretive
I hear you singing to the other side
The person is communicating with the dead
She's sleeping with the enemy
Someone is betraying a friend
While murdering a friend
The betrayal is deadly
A kiss to betray, the silent flight
The betrayal was intimate and secret
And the knives
Conveys the idea of violence and danger
She's gone, let's sing her to sleep
She's dead and we're performing a funeral song
This knife in my hand, grasping
The person is holding a weapon
The lies! The song is growing louder
The betrayal is exposed and the situation is getting more intense
Were you wishing I would die tonight?
A question directed at the betraying person
My back, the color crimson
The person has been injured and is bleeding
Honey, please, the crime wasn't mine
The person is insisting on their innocence
Won't you keep it all inside?
Asking for the betrayal to be hidden
Don't cut the feeding hand
Do not harm the one who is helping
A kiss to betray, the endless fuck
The betrayal was sexual and continuous
And the knives
Reinforcing the idea of violence and danger
You're gone; we'll sing you to sleep
The dead person is being mourned
Nothing in your hand, fading
The person is gone and their presence is fading
Liars never learn at all
Betrayal is a pattern for some people
You've been given the chance to fly
The betrayer has been given opportunities
So long, my dear
A final goodbye
A thousand times goodbye
Again, emphasizing the finality of the situation
