Map of Your Body
New Found Glory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things are looking up now the stars are in line
I prefer apologies I'm breathing passed your fucking lines
Finally looking up finally keeping you in mind
You can take advantage of me thinking out of time

And all I know you'll never find a way out without me

Stuck hearing you repeating lies
It's OK to to patch in the pyramid
With tearing eyes
Keep it up you will never realize
All the friends your
Losing will add up in time

And all I know you'll never find a way out without me
Oh I know you'll never find a way out

There's a map of your body hanging over my head
It's a curse not having you to hold again
By the time I figure this all out you let me go
Oh oh whoa oh whoa

Now our time is up now were exchanging goodbyes
It was better before before that meaningless kiss
Waking up hiding all the evidence
I know it's a fact you found more than you ever did

And all I know you'll never find a way out without me
Oh I know you'll never find a way out

There's a map of your body hanging over my head
It's a curse not having you to hold again
By the time I figure this all out you let me go
Oh oh whoa oh whoa

There's a map of your body hanging over my head
It's a curse not having you to hold again
By the time I figure this all out you let me go
Oh oh whoa oh whoa

I remember like it was yesterday
When it was you and me against the world

Whoa

I remember like it was yesterday
When it was you and me against the world

And all I know you'll never find a way out
And all I know you'll never find a way out

Without you
There's a map of your body hanging over my head
It's a curse not having you to hold again
By the time I figure this all out you let me go

Oh oh whoa oh whoa

There's a map of your body hanging over my head
It's a curse not having you to hold again
By the time I figure this all out you let me go





Oh oh whoa oh whoa
Oh oh whoa oh whoa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Map of Your Body" by New Found Glory narrate the aftermath of a break-up. The opening lines suggest that the singer has moved forward in the wake of the break-up and things are looking up for him/her now that the stars are aligned. However, the singer still prefers apologies to insincere promises, and is thinking of the person who recently broke up with him/her. The line "you can take advantage of me thinking out of time" suggests that the singer is still vulnerable to being used by the person who has left him/her.


The second verse seems to be directed at the person who broke up with the singer. The singer is "stuck hearing you repeating lies" and knows that the person will "never find a way out without me". The line "OK to patch in the pyramid" could mean that the person who has left is making excuses for breaking up, but the singer thinks that it's okay to let them do so. The bridge repeats the idea that the person who has left will never find happiness without the singer.


The chorus is where the title of the song, "Map of Your Body", comes into play. It seems that the singer has a map of the body of the person who left him/her hanging over his/her head, suggesting that the memory of the person is a weight he/she can't shake. The line "it's a curse not having you to hold again" shows the singer's longing for the person who has left. The song ends with the singer remembering the good times with the person and saying that he/she knows the other person will never find a way out without him/her.
