| The Gutter Twins – All Misery Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I take this as a man who's direly depressed (as to the reference to laying on the track-railroad tracks) who's awaiting his destruction. He's deep in deep black water and as he tells his story to this girl, he's crying more and more drowning in this water of depression as she just continues to rise up. He's trying his best to become less depressed "I did all I did just to get through to heaven", where heaven is the peak of happiness. "Little girls might twitch at the way I itch" he continues to live in depression which is just the way he happens to go "..but when I burn it's a son of a bitch" and the more the pain hurts, the more it kills him. He's trying to hold on until the misery's gone from the relationship. The reference to water is a sense of suffocation, deep black water, as of drowning in his own depression. He's in such pain he's pleading to this girl not to let him down.. But then she does and wishes she was the one he drowned to make her testify but instead pleads to be shaken into the deep black water to finally drown himself and be done with the pain she brought on to him. [The following paragraph is about the next song, Flowers; I split the lyrics - Mod.] He wants to tell this girl his story so that she could save him after all the pain she's brought him to. Dreams are made through things we see and absorb during the day, including our subconscious, so the reference to this dream, "I woke up I was crying. I saw an animal, with eyes like mine on fire" he's eyes are burning from all the bullshit lies he's gotten and is in rage. He believes that their relationship could be like a sullen flower and grow. It would be sullen of course because it takes time to get over her lies and be content. The dream continues, "And then from far away, who's that I see come riding? Upon a pale white horse, come riding fast as lightning" She comes on this beautiful white (which stands for pure and good) horse, which means she comes back and saves him from drowning in this pain. But this is all just what he dreams for. If only she could hear his story so that she'd might save him. |

I think this songs about a man who acts emotionless towards a woman who's cheated on him yet he still has feelings towards her hence having sex with her. She's plainly evil for screing around on him, that's why he's now just the Devils plaything because she's the one playing with him, both in relationship and sex. "Your lips are cold, they suffer me They drag me under, Baby Into your suffering" Her lips make him suffer and are cold just like she is, but he kisses them despite. "And your eyes don't look the same They seem enervated, in denial Cast like stones- Like you been rode for miles" Her eyes don't look the same, she's hungry for sex instead of love. Her eyes look up softly as if she's in denial, but he knows that she's been rode for miles (fucking a lot of guys). "I suffer you- You suffer me" He suffers to have her, and she makes him suffer by doing these things to him. In the end, it shows that he chose to stand alone and leave the girl that he wishes he still had. In the end, their just both the Devils play things. |
