The Blackout Lyrics

Rain down! Rain down!
The plea for pain and punishment to rain down on the singer.

Let it cut to the bone
The desire for the pain to be deep and meaningful.

Just like my words to you
The singer wishes the pain to be a reflection of their cutting words towards their lover.

Let these wounds never heal
An expression of desire for the pain to be everlasting.

Yeah my heart always bleeds
The artist's heart is always in pain, even without external stimuli.

Through the rain and tears
The setting for this emotional turmoil.

Your eyes hide from me
The singer's lover has become distant and less visible in their life.

Because they now see truth in disbelief
The lover has seen the truth about the artist but cannot believe it to be true.

So I take my knife from your bleeding heart
The artist takes the emotional pain of the lover and internalizes it as their own.

turn it on myself
The artist turns the anger and hurt inward.

and I slit my throat
A violent and bloody expression of the singer's desire for self-destruction.

To bleed like you breathe
To experience pain like the lover does with every breath.

Slowly drowning
The singer is suffocating in their emotional pain.

To feel the rain
To feel the pain and sorrow as deeply as anything else.

Cut deep
The desire for the pain to be extreme.

With this scar across my chest
The physical representation of the emotional pain that will never heal.

I won't forget the day that I
A promise to remember the moment of self-destruction and pain.

Took the knife into my hands
The singer took their self-destruction into their own hands.

And waved our lives goodbye
The end of the relationship due to the singer's self-destructive behavior.

So rain down and wash us away
The artist is asking for the external pain and punishment to take them both away.
