Melon Blade
Milk Teeth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I'll just (steal/feed/eat?) the moon
With nothing more than a crooked spoon
It's possible, we all messed up too soon X1

You'll keep a close eye
On the ever passing time
Fake a left turn torwards the air
A brickwall through the bend
Things you don't care to know
A burst of colour, an open window
Sharp pain, a smiling face
You're nothing more than emtpy space

So I'll just (steal/feed/eat?) the moon
With nothing more than a crooked spoon
It's possible, we all messed up too soon X1

The next time I arrive
I hope I feel more alive
A lack of worries, a lack of drive
It's all spun around in my mind
Is this wrong, is this right?
I won't know until next time
I guess I'll just live my life
As another body in line

So I'll just (steal/feed/eat?) the moon
With nothing more than a crooked spoon
It's possible, we all messed up too soon X1

I am just a girl / I am just a boy
My hair is long / My hair is long
My eyes are green / My eyes are blue
I still feel pain / And I still feel pain




I didn't cry last night X2
But I am dead inside, dead inside
