Atreyu – Lip Gloss and Black Lyrics 19 years ago
To me seems like this figure their singing about [I’ll call him Bob] is wanting a woman [I’ll call her Gina] that’s already in a relationship, a bad one, where she does not get treated right and is abused emotionally and physically, but she still stays with her boyfriend [I’ll call him Jim] Bob is trying to tell Gina that he’s there for her is she ever needs him because he knows what its like. He’s trying to tell her that Jim is only using her for her looks, not her personality and characteristics.

If I gave you pretty enough words.
Could you paint a picture of us that works?
[Referring to Bob wanting Gina]

An emphasis on function rather than design.
[Referring to looks over personality]

Aren’t you tired cause I will carry you, on a broken back
and blown out knees, I have been where you are for a while.
[Referring to the support Bob is giving Gina, And explaining he knows what it feels like]

Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. All the stars right out of the sky
and destroy the prettiest starry night.
[Referring to Gina being abused]

Every evening that I die.
[Referring to Bobs feelings Jim’s and Gina’s relation ship and how it hurts him]

I am exhumed just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold. [x3]
I am exhumed. Just a little less human....
so much more bitter and cold.... [Repeating]
[Referring also to his feelings on Jim’s and Gina’s relationship]

After all these images of pain, have cut right through you,
I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat.
[Referring to the support once again, and again how she is not alone]


Aren’t you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. All the stars right out of the sky
and destroy the prettiest starry night. Every evening that I die
[Referring to Gina being abused]

Live…Love…Burn…Die
[Referring to exactly what life is in 4 simple words]
