Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are beauty you are grace
And I am spitting in your face
You are sulfur and I am air
But I am not what keeps you here
Holding onto what is true
The desire to feel brand new
All we are is all we've done
Afraid your race is already run

Whatever you say
Watch the youth run from your cheeks
Watch your smile dissipate
Watch the wonder leave your eyes
As you force your heart to compromise
You know comfort you know hues
You are all you have left to lose
Bleed the dream of intimate wealth
Even if you're lying to yourself
You are puncture you are wound
Yours is the name above my tomb
You are tried yet you are true
How many times can I lie to you
I am effort I am will
I am still alive to kill
But all your blades are all worn down
I'm pretty sure I have you now
How I love to lick new wounds
Although they're better with some salt
How I love to play the victim
Because this is all your fault
Whatever you say I hate your voice Dave
This is why we never talk
This is a one way bridge ad I made myself
That reads blame me all you want
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
How I love to lick new wounds
Although they're better with some salt
How I love to play the victim
Because this is all your fault
Whatever you say I hate your voice Dave
This is why we never talk

This is a one way bridge ad I made myself
That reads blame me all you want

Line by Line Meaning

You are beauty you are grace
You possess an undeniable elegance and charm

And I am spitting in your face
However, I am disrespecting and insulting you

You are sulfur and I am air
You represent an unpleasant and toxic force, while I am more nonchalant and free

But I am not what keeps you here
I am not the reason that you choose to stay

Holding onto what is true
Clutching onto what is genuine and real

The desire to feel brand new
The craving for a fresh start or rejuvenation

All we are is all we've done
Our actions define who we are as individuals

Afraid your race is already run
Fearful that you have already lost the competition or struggle

Whatever you say
Regardless of what you claim or assert

Watch the youth run from your cheeks
Observe the fading of your youthful appearance

Watch your smile dissipate
Witness the gradual disappearance of your happiness

Watch the wonder leave your eyes
See the loss of your curiosity and awe

As you force your heart to compromise
As you coerce yourself into settling for less

You know comfort you know hues
You are familiar with feelings of comfort and different shades of emotions

You are all you have left to lose
You have nothing else to risk or give up

Bleed the dream of intimate wealth
Pursue the idea of achieving personal fulfillment and prosperity

Even if you're lying to yourself
Even if you are deceiving your own beliefs or desires

You are puncture you are wound
You are the source of pain and injury

Yours is the name above my tomb
Your name symbolizes the end of my existence

You are tried yet you are true
You have been tested but remain genuine

How many times can I lie to you
How many more times can I deceive or mislead you

I am effort I am will
I represent perseverance and determination

I am still alive to kill
I am motivated to conquer and succeed

But all your blades are all worn down
However, all your strategies and weapons are ineffective or exhausted

I'm pretty sure I have you now
I am confident that I have gained control over you

How I love to lick new wounds
I derive pleasure from inflicting or exacerbating fresh pain

Although they're better with some salt
Although the pain is intensified with added cruelty

How I love to play the victim
I enjoy assuming the role of the innocent and wronged party

Because this is all your fault
Because I attribute all blame and responsibility to you

Whatever you say I hate your voice Dave
Regardless of what you express or communicate, I strongly dislike your voice, Dave

This is why we never talk
This is the reason for our lack of communication

This is a one way bridge ad I made myself
I constructed a bridge that only allows communication in one direction

That reads blame me all you want
That conveys the message to attribute blame to me as much as you desire

If I ask you not to you'll do it anyway
Even if I explicitly request you to refrain, you will still proceed to do it
