The Nail In Our Coffin
Dayseeker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a snake in the grass who won't hesitate to stab me in the back
Don't mean to be too brash
I'll speak my peace, then you can get back
To fucking anything that shows the smallest shred of interest
Every word that leaves your tongue is another lie to break my trust
Keep my name from your thoughts and keep that mouth shut
In the act of tearing out my heart?
Of all the people I've come across in my life
You are the bottom of the barrel
I know I've said this once, but I guess I'll have to be more clear
I'll say it over again and I'll be sure to speak up
Fuck you and your negativity and you can
Take back all the things you ever said to me
I tried to fix your old ways
But you still managed to fuck it all up
And I held you in the highest regard
But now we learn to sleep alone
The thought of it makes my stomach turn
Envisioning him sliding off your shirt
And when he climbs on top
Do you see my face and wish that it would stop?
Remember this face
This is the last time you'll see it
Now learn to live inside the hell you embrace
No longer blissful and ignorant
My eyes are open wide
I see right through your lies
It's the nail in our coffin
It's the burning of bridges
It's the immeasurable hell
Couldn't keep your hands to yourself

Line by Line Meaning
You should be ashamed of the trash you let between your legs
You should feel guilty for the people you've been sleeping with
You are a snake in the grass who won't hesitate to stab me in the back
You are deceitful and untrustworthy, willing to harm me without warning
Don't mean to be too brash
I'll speak my peace, then you can get back
To fucking anything that shows the smallest shred of interest
I don't want to offend you, but I need to express my feelings. Afterward, you can return to seeking attention from anyone who will give it to you
Every word that leaves your tongue is another lie to break my trust
Keep my name from your thoughts and keep that mouth shut
You constantly lie, betraying my trust. Don't even think about me or speak my name
When the hell did you get so damn caught up
In the act of tearing out my heart?
Of all the people I've come across in my life
You are the bottom of the barrel
When did you become so obsessed with hurting me? Out of everyone I've met, you are the worst
I know I've said this once, but I guess I'll have to be more clear
I'll say it over again and I'll be sure to speak up
Fuck you and your negativity and you can
Take back all the things you ever said to me
I've told you this before, but I need to repeat myself. I want nothing to do with you or your negative attitude. Undo the hurtful things you've said to me
I tried to fix your old ways
But you still managed to fuck it all up
And I held you in the highest regard
But now we learn to sleep alone
I tried to help you improve, but you messed everything up. I used to hold you in high esteem, but now we're better off alone
The thought of it makes my stomach turn
Envisioning him sliding off your shirt
And when he climbs on top
Do you see my face and wish that it would stop?
Thinking about you with another man makes me sick. Do you think of me when he's with you? Do you wish it was me instead?
Remember this face
This is the last time you'll see it
Now learn to live inside the hell you embrace
No longer blissful and ignorant
This is the final goodbye. You'll never see me again. You need to accept the consequences of your actions instead of living in ignorance
My eyes are open wide
I see right through your lies
It's the nail in our coffin
It's the burning of bridges
It's the immeasurable hell
Couldn't keep your hands to yourself
I see your true intentions and the harm you've caused. It's the end of our relationship, a permanent break. Your inability to control yourself led to this disaster
