Like DAMtastychicken, I think the song is about the singer re-accounting all their difficulties throughout their life to their lover. "Like my father/Dodging army coat" - The singer had a dead-beat dad who always made excuses to get out responsibilities in life. "He never thought that I'd sink or float/I'd be dismissed/By fear or fist/Which made me angry" - When the singer first went out on her own, her father told her they would never make it out in the real world, which obviously annoyed the singer. "Like a classmate/My name on his desk/I liked him better/Coz he's on my chest/He said I'm wrong/Now move along/Rejected - angry" - When the singer was in high school, I think she was led on by a classmate she had a crush on. Maybe she got a tattoo of his name on her chest? Anyways, when she actually tried to get with him, he rejected her. "Nothing like love, sex/Everything, its all or nothing/Oh, I would kill anyone for you" - The chorus is about the singer's current relationship with her lover. She loves her partner with all her might, and she would even kill for him. "Like a liar/Oh what have you done?/No happy ending/Kitten with the gun/Fought tooth and nail/To no avail" - This part is kind of confusing... maybe it was about a different, previous love she had. Her old lover cheated on her and she (tried to) kill his mistress, but it didn't work and he ended up leaving her. "Like a sister/Never good enough/So I was weird/Over fed and deaf/With wounded words/It sounds absurd/That left me angry" - The singer had a sister that everyone paid attention to, so the singer made dressed, acted, etc. weird to get attention. Instead, she got made fun of for being weird. "Love drug, I'm not in love/It's all, all, all sex, apathy" - Okay, so now I think the singer's 'perfect' lover did something that spurned her, like maybe cheated or something. She tries to convince herself that doesn't REALLY love him, just is in it for sex or something, but that's not true. "You're like a killer/In the dead of night/You rip me open/And I will not fight/For on this day/I will just lay/Quiet, not angry/Quiet, not angry" - The singer had opened up to their lover about all her struggles in life, but now they've just gone and hurt her. Instead of fighting against it like she had before, she decides to just accept it and not let things affect her anymore. |
