This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
She said 'Picture this: you and I,
On a magic carpet ride,
Covering your living room floor'
She said 'Picture this: you and I,
On a magic carpet ride,
Covering your living room floor'
I said 'You bring out my terrible its oh so wonderful
I can be the first-class passion that you're lookin' for
I'm your number one, all time fan'
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
She trembled 'Take me now,
Knock me out, navigate my filthy mouth,
Nurse my naughty back to life'
I said 'You unleash my episodes,
Crack my moral code,
Desperately delicious in your housewife glass life'
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
I'm your number one, all time fan
It would be my honour to get down with your open hand
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Oh and you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
You're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
On a magic carpet ride,
Covering your living room floor'
She said 'Picture this: you and I,
On a magic carpet ride,
Covering your living room floor'
I said 'You bring out my terrible its oh so wonderful
I can be the first-class passion that you're lookin' for
I'm your number one, all time fan'
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
She trembled 'Take me now,
Knock me out, navigate my filthy mouth,
Nurse my naughty back to life'
I said 'You unleash my episodes,
Crack my moral code,
Desperately delicious in your housewife glass life'
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
I'm your number one, all time fan
It would be my honour to get down with your open hand
In my good graces, you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Little mischevious, remain devious
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
Oh and you're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance
You're a bad influence
Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Pretty sure it's "First Class passenger" not "passion". Also "validate my filthy mouth" not "navigate my filthy mouth"
I've been listening to it all day and that's def what I'm hearing. =]
This song is amazing. The Spill has done it again. Can't wait for a full album!!
I was a little unsure in a few spots. Is it you bring out my...terribleness? You can use my episodes? And Housewife glass life?
Other than that I think I got it.
I think it's actually "You bring out my terrible, it's oh so wonderful."
And "Nurse be body back to life" is "nurse my naughty back to life".
For "it would be my honor to get down with your open hand", it might be "upper" insted of "open".
Other than that, it's good :)
I'm addicted to this song. I can't stop listening to it. My favorite off the new EP for sure.
I'm pretty sure it's 'body' and not 'naughty' Nick is a better lyricist than that.<br /> <br /> And theres one other fix: I said, "You can use my episodes. Crack my moral codes.<br /> Desperately delicious in your housewife glass life."<br /> <br /> I'm pretty sure it's 'induce' as in to cause, not 'can use'
It's definitely "naughty" unfortunately. The "n" sound is pretty dominant haha.

I seem to be in the minority so far, but I really don't care for this that much. Their evolution of sound is pushing me further and further away from the band. Ahh well I guess, I'll still buy their new album when it comes out and hopefully find a few songs on there I like. The ones on this EP, this one included, just really weren't doing it for me though.
yeah, it's definitely "VALIDATE my dirty mouth" and I'm hearing "First Class passenger" too xD
oh man, i'm so addicted to the whole EP! The beat and lyrics.... ahhh true Spilly radiates from it <3333 Some of my favorites by them too, and I've only just got them ^_^
sorry xD "validate my FILTHY mouth"<br />
this song is lyrically genius. i don't know why people think that the word "naughty" makes him less of a songwriting genius. probably one of the best songs he has ever written lyrically. and the way he sings the lyrics in the song especially the "oh so wonderful" in the beginning. amazing. and its an extremely sexual song which is so different for them.
isnt it "housewife blouse-like"
I'm pretty sure it's "you INDUCE my episodes" not unleash. It's either that or unloose. But not unleash. It doesn't sound like that at all.
can you guys please discuss the meaning, and stop bickering over the correct lyrics? i don't really understand the song and i need some clarification.
also, i agree with whoever else said it. :( i am NOT enjoying their new sound. they used to be my favourite band and i am really not digging this... but i'm scared to not like them anymore haha, they're all i've ever know. </3
I think this song is either about drugs or sex. "Magic carpet ride" if i search on urbandictionary comes up as meaning to get baked. " Keep me a heartbeat shy of an ambulance" Could support that, meaning he relies on her to not overdose. He might see it as morally wrong, but this person is "his bad influence" "breaking his moral code" etc. Theres also many references to possible sex, "dirty mouth" "bad influence" again,.. I don't know. What makes more sense to you guys?
Interesting, urban dictionary also says "magic carpet ride" can refer to sex on a carpet..
