Heart-Shaped Box
Wilson Gil & The Willful Sinners Lyrics

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
When I'm vulnerable, she watches me with great scrutiny and understanding.

I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been trapped within the confines of your love and affection for an extended amount of time.

I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
You've ensnared me in your powerful gravitational pull, and it feels as if I'm stuck in a sticky mess that's impossible to crawl out of.

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
If I could, I would take away all of your pain and suffering when you're at your most vulnerable and weak.

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice
I have an issue that needs addressing, but I know that your invaluable insight will be able to help me solve it.

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Even the most beautiful and intricate things in the world can hold grudges and won't forgive without some form of action or retribution.

Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Even things that seem the most delicate and beautiful can still cause harm and pain.

Broken hymen of your Highness, I'm left back
You have lost something valuable and can never get it back, and it has left you feeling abandoned and alone.

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Give me a way to come back to you, to experience that closeness once again and return to the way things were before.

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice
My issue persists, and I know that I will always owe you my gratitude for your guidance and wisdom.

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Repeating these lines shows that these emotions and experiences are ongoing and deeply ingrained in the singer's life.

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice
The song ends with another repetition of how the artist has a problem, but they know that the person they're singing about will be able to help them solve it due to their insightful advice.
