Casualty Lyrics
the stretchers out again
it seems i didn't win
i think i'll rest awhile
so nice here on the tiles
the lights come washing in
*
i see you there over me
shining your new trophy
i'm a casualty of you
just a casualty of you
opportunity for me to prove again how easily
i just want you to stay with me
more than would die to be
your casualty
the cast is setting well
at least i lived to tell
all future casualties
the line starts after me
i'm a casualty of you
just a casualty of you
opportunity for me to prove again how easily
i just want to stay with me
more than would die to be your casualty
you turn me on
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on
yeah you turn me on
you turn me on
it seems i didn't win
i think i'll rest awhile
so nice here on the tiles
the lights come washing in
*
i see you there over me
shining your new trophy
i'm a casualty of you
just a casualty of you
opportunity for me to prove again how easily
i just want you to stay with me
more than would die to be
your casualty
at least i lived to tell
all future casualties
the line starts after me
i'm a casualty of you
just a casualty of you
opportunity for me to prove again how easily
i just want to stay with me
more than would die to be your casualty
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
you turn me on
you turn me on
yeah you turn me on
you turn me on

I would update the lyrics in the comment section, but it looks weird. Great vocals from Tobey, please check out the duo Mojave Phone Booth if you haven't already. My interpretation of this track is it's a reflection on a past relationship that has left them feeling like a casualty. They seem to be lamenting their loss and the power that the other person holds over them. The repetition of the phrase "casualty of you" emphasizes the idea that the person feels like a victim by the other person's actions, but then the phrase "you turn me on" hints at a physical attraction or connection that they still feel towards the other person, despite the hurt they have experienced. It's both conflicting feelings of desire and pain.
[Edit: Updated my interpretation.]
The lyrics here aren't totally correct but basically this song is about a girl who wanted this guy so much that she'd do anything "more than would die to be, your casualty" she's probably one of his friends, and then he's showing off a new girlfriend, and breaks her heart. awesome song probably one of their best, i think. p.s. Its " I just want you to stay with me"
i can totaly relate tothis song, i think its about a girl who really likes her guy friend, he knows this and keeps leading her on and it hurts her to know shes never gonna be with him, hense the line "Im a casualty of you"
