Heart-Shaped Box
Lounge Brigade Lyrics

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
When I am at my most vulnerable, she looks at me with the same intensity as a Pisces, a zodiac sign known for its emotional depth.

I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I have been trapped inside her heart, which is like a box, unable to escape or leave for weeks.

I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I have been lured into her pull, like a magnet attracts metal, but instead of being a good thing, it's like being stuck in a tar pit trap.

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
I wish I could take away her pain and suffering by consuming it, even though it would be impossible.

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice
The artist has a new issue to bring up, but is constantly indebted to her wise advice, which they value beyond compare.

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
The judgmental world around them offers no forgiveness, comparing it to orchids, which are normally delicate flowers, but the mention of them being meat-eating changes the perspective.

Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
The singer has hurt themselves on things that represent love and purity, like angel hair and baby's breath, showing the pain and difficulty of relationships.

Broken hymen of your Highness, I'm left back
The artist alludes to royalty and virginity, but the use of the term 'broken hymen' implies deflowering or betrayal, which has left them in a negative state.

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
The artist wants her to let them back into her life or good graces, so they can return to the safety and comfort they once felt with her.

Forever in debt to your priceless advice, your advice, your advice, your advice
The repetition of being in debt to her advice shows how much the artist values and relies on it, even if it means trying to solve new problems with the same advice.
