Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep) Lyrics
"When I get back."
Pre-break of dawn,
Hear the ring, it's me live from a pay phone in the rain.
Things pan out exactly as i say they will.
Cause I'll be less happy when I get back.
Two hands in one glove as if we were poor.
The hard up make soup from stones like the poor before them did before.
You say.. You say the waiting could crush your heart.
But it's nothing new to me,
having you crave me so desperately.
But I know,
How when you need me you bleed for me,
Though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new fans.
Always and forever we are apart.
And may she see,
She'd be free overjoyed in distance if she only let me sleep.
"Will things make less happy..
When I get back!?"
Absence makes the heart grow still.
Abuse the hunt; confuse the kill.
I know, but I know.
You say.. You say the waiting could crush your heart.
It's nothing new to me,
Having you crave me so desperately.
But I know,
How when you need me you bleed for me.
Though now, I'm gone you fill my shoes with new fans.
Always and forever we are apart.
And may she see,
She'd be free overjoycing in distance if she only let me sleep....
Make the dead feel deader.
Deader.
Make the dead sleep nights with a razor.
Kill the prey.
(I'll hold) My child's head underwater.
If it's a boy, I was joking.
If it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did because I had to...
And if you find my kid later, tell her I laughed too.
But it's nothing new to me,
Having you crave me so desperately.
But I know,
How when you need me you bleed for me,
Though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new fans.
Always and forever we are apart.
And may she see,
She'd be free overjoyed in distance,
If she only let me sleep.
"When I get back."
It just might work out fine,
Because I love you enough to let you give the pain that I want.
And when you do, I just might fuck you enough to love you.
Once upon my night stand, lied letters piled in columns.
Postmarked "Middle Island",
Out east in the county of Solemn
Always and forever we are apart.

Daryl calls because he guessed that his girl was going to cheat on him and it upsets him, "Hear the ring, it's me live from a pay phone in the rain. Things pan out exactly as i say they will. Cause I'll be less happy when I get back."
She tells him she loves him and wants him back all the time, "You say.. You say the waiting could crush your heart."
She even cuts herself to prove her love for him, "But I know,
How when you need me you bleed for me".
But then turns around and has sex again, "Though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new fans."
He thinks that if she just got over him she would be happy, "She'd be free overjoyed in distance if she only let me sleep."
"Absence makes the heart grow still", means that when he was gone, she lost her feelings for him and cheated.
"Abuse the hunt", she is the hunter, hunting Daryl, and she is abusing their relationship and "confuse the kill" means she is confusing him by cutting herself for him but then screwing other guys.
"Make the dead sleep nights with a razor", he thinks she's a liar and is dead inside because she's not worth anything to him anymore.
This experience with this girl has made Daryl hate women, so much that he would even kill his own daughter, "(I'll hold) My child's head underwater... If it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did because I had to..."
"Because I love you enough to let you give the pain that I want. And when you do, I just might fuck you enough to love you", although he is pissed off at her, he still loves her and thinks there may be a chance.
"Once upon my night stand, lied letters piled in columns. Postmarked 'Middle Island'", she has written him several times after they separated to try to get him back and apologize.
Every track on EYEWTKAS is a work of art. It leaves me speechless and wanting more. It is one of those albums that I never get tired of having on repeat. Pure reverence for how ruthless this is.
this song is fucking pretty dope man..filled with a good amount of energy...this song is fucking great
This is a great song. Definite influence of their hardcore past in this song. The verse that starts out "(I'll hold) My child's head under water..." is very deep, talking about drowning his own daughter (he doesn't reall have one), metaphorically, of course, just because of how much the woman in his life has hurt him and to show his spite towards women.
hardcore man hardcore
At the very end of this song, right before the track switches over, he whispers something very quietly, what's he saying there?
He's saying "Chelsea." I don't exactly know who that is, I read it somewhere... and I forgot where but oh well. I guess it's a friend or something.
i agree with sirking
amazing that is all i can say is amazing, daryl has an awesome voice, and his lyrics are honest, deep and meaningful, even though that they can be confusing a lot sometimes, still awesome song, i love the extremely long angry scream that daryl unleashes in the middle of the song at the end of this line
She'd be free overjoycing in distance if she only let me sleep....
ok ill shut up now, fucking awesome song
ok, i know this sound so girly, but i think daryl needs a loving hug. He's so awesome anmd talented and tormented. I hope he knows how truly great he is and how awesome the band is. i'm sure he does, but i'd like to reassure him;)....BTW, is he Italian? He looks it and his name is.
