Michele Adamson featuring J.Viewz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
made me run to you for clarification
your fingers are red and violence is blue
bittersweet reminder of my life with you
If you had a lesson I think I learned it
I built a bridge you went and burned it
tore me apart and left me for dead
"When I fall asleep you are my nightmare
but strangely I feel safe to know you're out there
the further I go the smaller you seem
irksome little splinter inside my dream
kick me when i'm down with no justification
cowards lash out when there's no retaliation
words may have stung but like the honey bee
you left yourself in me
I was on the edge and then you pushed me
poisoning my blood with sweet toxicity
girls are a drug men can be dogs
i'll leave the prince and go with the frogs
did I say frog I mean the real men
but ive been warped by crime & punishment
I bear the scars of your cruelty
hit me with the bass
I'm a junkie
Let me out
Love let me be...

The singer narrates how they had an illusion of separation from their partner, indicating a state of confusion and uncertainty about the relationship. Seeking clarification, the singer runs to their partner for answers but finds only violence and bitterness. The color imagery used in the lyrics, such as the red fingers and blue violence, adds to the vividness of the imagery, suggesting that the relationship has left its mark on the singer.
The second verse takes on a more contemplative tone as the singer reflects on the lessons learned from the relationship. The use of the metaphorical image of building a bridge suggests that the singer made an effort to connect with their partner, but that the relationship ultimately failed. The line "I joined the monsters under the bed" further emphasizes the feeling of abandonment and isolation that the singer experiences. The third verse explores the twisted paradox of love and fear, where the singer finds safety in the very person who haunts their nightmares. The intense emotional experience depicted in the lyrics is enhanced by the singer's decision to embrace their addiction to bass music, finding comfort in its all-consuming power.
