This Bed
Kisschasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that I can taste is the bullet
The shot-hole in my vanity
And I can't find a place to put it
And you look like my type
So get in line
Take a number and I'll give you a time
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there (say you want me)
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed (say you want me)
I wish I could take your face and stitch it onto all their faces
Relationships that take your place
End up being all I hated
And you look like my type
So get in line
Grab a number and I'll give you a time
Say you want me say you'd kill to have me there
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me say you'd kill to have me there (say you want me)
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed (say you want me)
[Repeat x3]
This bed
Oh-oh oh-woah
Say you want me
I'm what you want
Say you want me
The barrel shot lead into me
And all that I can taste is the bullet
Say you want me say you'd kill to have me there
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
Say you want me say you'd kill to have me there (say you want me)
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed (say you want me)
The lyrics of Kisschasy's song This Bed are quite cryptic and metaphoric. It talks about the aftermath of a violent encounter, where the singer has been shot and is now lying in bed, dying. The opening lines, "The barrel shot lead into me, All that I can taste is the bullet," describe the physical trauma the singer has gone through. The phrase "taste the bullet" is symbolic of the emotional pain that comes with physical injury.
The rest of the song seems to allude to the singer's struggle with relationships. They mention how they wish they could "stitch" the face of the person who shot them onto the faces of all their past partners. This could mean that the singer feels that all their relationships have ended up in a similar place of betrayal and pain. They also mention how people who take the place of a former partner end up being hated. It seems that the singer is struggling with trust and intimacy, and the violent encounter has only worsened these issues.
The refrain of the song, "Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there, cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed," is another metaphor. The singer is not only dying physically in the bed, but also emotionally. They are asking whoever they are addressing to prove their love and commitment by risking everything to be with them. It's as if they are saying, "If you really love me, you will fight for me, even if it means risking your life."
Overall, This Bed is a powerful song that deals with themes of violence, trauma, trust, and love.
Line by Line Meaning
The barrel shot lead into me
I've been hurt, wounded by someone's actions
All that I can taste is the bullet
The pain is all-consuming, overwhelming
The shot-hole in my vanity
The wound has affected my confidence and self-perception
And I can't find a place to put it
I can't figure out how to deal with this hurt and heal from it
And you look like my type
Despite my pain, I'm still looking for love and connection
So get in line
Join the queue of other people vying for my attention
Take a number and I'll give you a time
I'll consider you, but you'll have to wait your turn
Say you want me, say you'd kill to have me there
Express your desire for me, show me that you're serious about a potential relationship
Cause since you shot me I've been dying in this bed
My pain has been so great that I feel like I'm slowly dying
I wish I could take your face and stitch it onto all their faces
I want to find someone who embodies all the qualities I'm looking for in a partner
Relationships that take your place
Partners who don't appreciate or prioritize me
End up being all I hated
These kinds of relationships end up causing me more pain and frustration
Grab a number and I'll give you a time
I'm still open to finding a partner, but I'm not going to rush into anything
I'm what you want
I can give someone the love and connection they're looking for
This bed
The place where I've been stuck, unable to move on from my pain
Say you want me
Expressing desire for a potential partner
