Asleep On Broken Teeth
Wakefield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sure didn't try to hide it
If you didn't think I would change
I hate white teeth lying
You slipped up, I hate to do this
My friends warned me, they saw right through it
Evidence is a bitch
Would you make me run?
A mouth full of hate, ready to go
You better keep your rib cage unexposed
Cause I might have to hurt you
Evidence is a bitch
And I could never do that
Would you make me run for my life?
Would you make me run?
And how do you sleep late at night?
Would you make me run?
Would you make me run for my life?
Would you make me run?
(And I could never do that)
Just say that we are, and I
Would you make me run?
The lyrics to Wakefield's song "Asleep On Broken Teeth" are highly emotional and introspective, showcasing the anger and pain that can arise when trust is broken in a relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer has recently discovered some information about their partner that was not intended to be revealed. Despite any attempts to keep it hidden, the truth has come out and the singer is deeply hurt by it. The reference to "white teeth lying" suggests that the partner's lies were polished and convincing, but ultimately hollow and deceitful.
As the song progresses, the singer confronts their partner about the situation, using the evidence that they have gathered to support their feelings of betrayal. The aggressive tone of the words "I hate to do this" suggests that the singer is not taking the situation lightly, and is confronting the issue head-on. However, there is also a sense that the singer is holding back, as if they are unwilling or unable to fully unleash their anger and frustration.
The repeated refrain "Would you make me run for my life?" suggests that the singer feels threatened and vulnerable, as if their entire world has been turned upside down. The implication is that the partner's actions have caused the singer to feel powerless and in danger, as if they need to flee to protect themselves. Ultimately, the song is a raw and honest portrayal of the pain that can come from broken trust and the difficult emotions that arise when a relationship falls apart.
