The car-as-weapon on unrequited lover has echoes in their other songs as well - like the opening lines to Waste: "Where's the neverending love? An endless crush I had on no other I'd be waiting from across the street In a car I made a plan for you and me" |

Also possible, being tied and bound, setting the relationship in concrete, after she dragged and dropped and her crying is music to him - with the repeated cry "Let's go!" sounding like a starter pistol... he may be getting arrested for hitting her hard with his car. The damage he did would ensure she would never be able to forget or drop him. There are way too many Criminal Minds episodes in reruns. |

| Actually probably not a forced suicide. He is definitely bleeding out bound to her and burning into her memory but her survival is not of interest to him. He just planned to go by tomorrow. Possibly an intentional car crash with her in the passenger seat. Into a concrete barrier if he's being verbally clever, but his vocab and structure don't suggest he's wired that way. | |

"Here I am tied and bound Every night feeling low Bad days come back whatever" This guy is trapped in a cycle of negative experiences being imposed on him. Not of his own doing. So he believes. "In the sun I bathe, in everyday light You draft me down for a split second tomorrow What am I supposed to do" Brief moments of solace inspired by her. "I know you would make me happy Girl, I found my way out I found it, at last now I'm sober" He believes she would make him happy and is his only way out of his pain and addictions. "Let's go! Hey! Your're crying How sweet the sound" That revelation leaves her crying. The reason is unclear, but he takes pleasure in hearing it. Perhaps as proof he has an emotional effect on her. Not necessarily a good one. "Silence on I attempt Bow and scrape, toe the line Never get back together" She was an ex, or at least they were together in his mind. He tried silence, groveling, behaving himself, but nothing would restore the relationship he wants. "With the same old style ran down my life You drag and drop, attract me after all Anyway, I'm gone tomorrow" The attempt to win her (back?) was boring and repetitive. She dragged him into behaviors he wasn't into, then dropped him just as fast as a cursor on a screen dropping files in the trash, with as little thought. Still he's into her. But that's ok, because tomorrow it'll all be over anyway. "I know you would make me happy Girl, I found my way out I found it at last now I'm sober I know it would make it concrete Now you're crying How sweet a sound" Whatever he's doing it's to permanently seal the relationship (set in concrete) and she's crying. But he is pleased by her tears. "Let's go! Hey! You're crying How sweet a sound Everybody, let's go!" Still moving forward with the plan, despite or even because of the crying. "Hey! Let's go! We're back to back for hours We're weak and what they say 'bout loving like we do We'll never give this up You're crying How sweet the sound" It'll all be over tomorrow but they are bound together for hours getting weak. They will never be out of this situation. She's crying. He's content. Sounds like a profile of an obsessed psychopath trapping either an ex lover or just an acquaintance who was kind but casual. Trapping into a suicide pact in which she definitely doesn't want to be Juliet to his Romeo. All the lyrics are focused on his feelings. She's just a tool or object valuable because of her effect on his mental state. He hears her crying generically as a sweet sound without even a synonym to add insight to why. It's not clear if she's happy or overwhelmed or touched or terrified or what. Doesn't seem to matter to him. He just likes the sound. A darker, more active but equally ambiguous version of Every Breath You Take. Just as pretty, just as twisted. |
