Say Anything Lyrics

If I die and go to Hell real soon It will appear to me as this room And for eternity, I'd lay in bed In my boxers, half stoned With the pillow under my head
The singer is in such a miserable state that they believe they are already in Hell. They are speaking from their bed, where they are lying in their underwear while feeling high and drained of energy.

I'd be chatting on the interweb Maggots pray upon the living dead I had no interest in the things she said On the phone every day, I'll permanently hit the hay
The singer is so bored with their life that they escape into the internet, where they have impersonal conversations with people who are also unhappy. Despite talking to someone on the phone every day, they have no real connection to that person and they feel like they want to sleep all the time.

I called her on the phone and she touched herself She touched herself, she touched herself Called her on the phone and she touched herself I laughed myself to sleep
The singer is having phone sex with someone who they don't really care about. They find the situation ridiculous and can't help but laugh about it afterwards, as they drift off to sleep alone.

At this rate, I'll be heading for electric chairs I'm only human with my cross to bear When she described her underwear I forgot all the rules my rabbi taught me in the old schul
The artist is worried they are heading down a bad path and may end up punished for their behavior. They know they have flaws, but they feel helpless to change. When someone they are talking to on the phone describes their underwear, they forget all the moral lessons they were taught by their religious leader.

You're too young to be this empty girl I'll prepare you for a sick, dark world Know that you'll be my downfall But I call and I call and I call
The artist is trying to corrupt someone who is younger and seemingly innocent. They feel that the world is a terrible place and that they are doomed, but they continue to reach out to this girl even though they know it may be their undoing.

I don't know what I want I don't know what I want I don't know what I want I don't know what I want
The singer is lost and confused. They don't know what they want out of life or what they hope to achieve. They feel aimless and unfulfilled.

I don't know what I want (Met you on the Internet) I don't know what I want (Met you on the Internet) I don't know what I want (Met you on the Internet) I don't know what I want (Met you on the Internet)
The singer's lack of direction is in part due to how they met the people they've been interacting with. They only know these people through the internet, and so they don't have any real world connections or meaning to hold onto.

I called her on the phone and she touched herself She touched herself, she touched herself Called her on the phone and she touched herself I laughed myself to sleep
The artist repeats their earlier lines. They are stuck in this pattern of feeling empty, sleeping poorly, reaching out to strangers and feeling no connection, and ultimately laughing at themselves for how absurd their life has become.
