This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just swallow the pill
And think of me no longer
Just let go
And take yourself out
Before I, before I kill you too
Aren't you tired of me fucking you
Fucking you over and over?
You were the last person I wanted in my sights
And my heart
Honestly breaks when I think of you
I understand now
What I-love-you means -
It's doing the right thing
No matter of the consequence
I'm tying you up
Using the nicest lace
Trying to kill you softly
Trying to erase your face
All the while I'm doing my best
Not to rub my love against your head
I'd redecorate the walls
With your inner thoughts
But I'm afraid
It's the wrong shade of red
But I
Have these sadistic urges
And I
Don't want to take it out on you
I'm tying you up
Using the nicest lace
Trying to kill you softly
Trying to erase your face
Right now you're the only one who
Understands my plight
Right now you're the only reason
I can't sleep through the night
And think of me no longer
Just let go
And take yourself out
Before I, before I kill you too
Aren't you tired of me fucking you
Fucking you over and over?
You were the last person I wanted in my sights
And my heart
Honestly breaks when I think of you
I understand now
What I-love-you means -
It's doing the right thing
No matter of the consequence
I'm tying you up
Using the nicest lace
Trying to kill you softly
Trying to erase your face
All the while I'm doing my best
Not to rub my love against your head
I'd redecorate the walls
With your inner thoughts
But I'm afraid
It's the wrong shade of red
But I
Have these sadistic urges
And I
Don't want to take it out on you
I'm tying you up
Using the nicest lace
Trying to kill you softly
Trying to erase your face
Right now you're the only one who
Understands my plight
Right now you're the only reason
I can't sleep through the night

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is about loving someone and not being able to be with them forever. So you just want to completely erase them from your mind. (kinda liek eternal sunshine of the spotless mind) And you want the leftover feelings to just leave, to die, to fade away.
the correct lyrics are:
Just swallow the pill and think of me no longer Just let go and take yourself out Before I kill you too Aren’t you tired of my fucking you over and over? You were the last person I wanted in my sights And my heart honestly breaks when I think of you I understand now what I-love-you means - It’s doing the right thing no matter of the consequence
I’m tying you up, using the nicest lace Trying to kill you softly, trying to erase your face
All the while I’m doing my best Not to rub my love against your head I’d redecorate the walls with your inner thoughts But I’m afraid it’s the wrong shade of red But I have these sadistic urges And I don’t want to take it out on you
Right now you’re the only one who understands my plight Right now you’re the only reason I can’t sleep through the night
This song explains exactly the way I felt when my girlfriend broke up with me. I know that sounds lame. But it was after a long relationship and we kept fucking afterwards.. and all the time all I could think of was how much I loved her but wasn't allowed to say it..
the only thing i can see to correct is its
inner thoughts opposed to innocent thougths
first to comment. lucky me. nice song. i think hes going to kill someone
The lyrics to this song are unbeleivable...so full of conflicting hate and love. I loke his style a lot. Little corrections though: "Just swallow the pill" "It's doing the right thing"
Then they're cool.
yeah, i think it's about brutally murdering a someone, by shooting them in the face,
"I'm tying you up, using the nicest lace, trying to kill you softly, trying to erase your face. "
and blowing their brains out,
"I'd redecorate the walls with your inner thoughts, but I'm afraid it's the wrong shade of red."
making sure there no evidence
"All the while, I'm doing my best not to rub my love against your head. "
hm, maybe?
smeh.this song is ok.i dont know what i think it means.someone actually talk about the meaning,please.
I think it's about loving someone to death - literally. He can't stand how much he loves someone, therefore kills 'm? He doesn't want to hurt her ("using the nice lace"), he doesn't want to realise who he's killing ("trying to erase your face".) One thing I don't understand: why ty someone up if you're going to shoot them..? awesome song, awesome band
hahaha...
I believe this is what the song is about;
He's broken up with someone, said to himself "this is it, no more of you", so he tries to erase everything about the girl from his head.
But the girl comes back, she's done her evils to him (could be cheating, maybe she stole from him, or he caught her in the act).
He's trying to get rid of her, from her mind... all the words that conflict, they are representing his thoughts about wanting her out of his mind, yet at the same time, he can't forget about her, she's making it hard on him to forget by being dead on in his sights.
