Nightstand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laying on the floor tonight
After hours of just screaming in my face tonight
Why do you
Always have to do that make me feel like shit
It hurts
Every time you put me down it makes you feel good
Staring into my eyes
So clueless of the feelings that you feel towards me
Why do you
Always have to do that make me feel like shit
It hurts
Every time you put me down it makes you feel good
Why do you
Always have to do that make me feel like shit
It hurts
Every time you put me down it makes you feel good inside
In the first paragraph, the singer reflects on a turbulent and unsettling moment with their partner. The bedsheets are described as soft, perhaps in contrast to the harsh and intense interaction that just occurred. The imagery of the bedsheets on the floor suggests a sense of disarray or chaos in the aftermath of a heated argument. The mention of screaming in the singer's face conveys a feeling of aggression and emotional intensity that occurred during the confrontation.
The second paragraph delves into the emotional impact of the partner's words and actions on the singer. The partner's behavior consistently makes the singer feel inadequate and belittled, leading to a sense of hurt and emotional pain. The singer questions why the partner always chooses to put them down, highlighting the cycle of negativity and emotional abuse in the relationship. The phrase "it makes you feel good" suggests a sense of power or control that the partner derives from putting the singer down, indicating a toxic dynamic within the relationship.
In the third paragraph, the singer expresses frustration and confusion over the partner's behavior. Despite staring into the partner's eyes, the singer struggles to understand their true intentions and feelings towards them. The partner's emotional detachment and lack of empathy are highlighted through the description of being clueless about their feelings. This disconnect contributes to the singer's sense of insecurity and uncertainty in the relationship.
The final paragraph echoes the recurring theme of the partner's hurtful behavior towards the singer. The repetition of the question "Why do you always have to do that make me feel like shit" emphasizes the pattern of emotional manipulation and degradation that the singer experiences. The singer acknowledges the impact of the partner's actions, stating that each time they are put down, it only serves to boost the partner's own ego and sense of satisfaction. The internal conflict within the partner, deriving pleasure from causing pain to the singer, further illustrates the toxic and damaging nature of the relationship portrayed in the lyrics.
