Old Flame

I think it's about a guy who is seduces women so much that he is sort of stuck in this phase in his life that he cant get out of. It starts off with him seducing a woman (You knew in 5 minutes but I knew in a sentence) and in his mind he grows tired of the same old routine and he simply wants it to be over with (So why do we go through all of this again). The woman's interest in him is clear (her eyes are fluttering) and she flirts with him back (such pretty wings - which means he finds her attractive). And the woman (a moth) falls for his game like every other women he has been with (flying into the same old flame again). And his plans work once again and proves that (it never ends).

Then suddendly he starts to grow a conscience (Its not like I dropped the bomb on my conscience, mom). And he finds himself at a constant war (Fighting day and night) to stop his ways (To make such a good thing die)

He finally breaks down (Out, everyone out) but he soon relizes that he simply cant give it up (In my heart and mind, It gets me every time) and it leads him back to where he started, Seducing another woman.

"You knew in five minutes - But I knew in a sentence" that's so beautiful... it's like love at first conversation....

The breakdown at the 1 minute mark, proceeded by the emotive vocal delivery cuts to the core of me every time.

Great track on the EP Album.

Pretty obvious what it's about, a former lover. Implying that she is so beautiful, "such pretty wings" but trying hard not to get with her again "so why do we go - through all this shit again

"You knew in five minutes - But I knew in a sentence" that's so beautiful... it's like love at first conversation....

"It takes fighting day and night to make such a good thing die"

I think that's one of the most sincere and heartfelt things to say about love that's been lost -- not to mention that it's very true.

Out, everyone out - I give too much shit at home In my heart and mind - It gets me every time

i think that implies that he mulls it over in his head too much. then again i could be thinking too much. :)

Is it "on my conscience, mom" or "on my conscious mom"?

The opening line: "You knew in 5 minutes, I knew in a sentence." Refers to the belief that within 5 minutes of meeting a man, a woman makes up her mind whether she would sleep with him or not.

All it took was a sentence for the man. It's a great line in a great song.

Very simple, but executed excellently, song about an on and off relationship that doesn’t ever fully stop.

“You knew in five minutes, / but I knew in a sentence.”

I agree with saying that this refers to the five-minutes theory. Upon meeting, they were both very attracted to each other.

“So why do we go through all of this again? / Your eyes are fluttering, such pretty wings, / a moth, flying into the same old flame again. / It never ends.”

Clearly, about a relationship that keeps going on and off. He questions why they continue doing, reiterates on her beauty (that moth eyelash is a lovely image), and recognizes that they are seemingly addicted to each other despite the danger.

“It's not like I dropped the bomb / on my conscience, mom.”

I believe this is him confirming that he knows what he’s doing, knows that the continued relationship is damaging. He knows. It doesn’t stop him.

“It takes fighting day and night / to make such a good thing die.”

I love how this slightly has a double-meaning. Fighting, as in arguing, and then fighting as in trying hard to make it stop working. Here he recognizes that is is a good thing, they are a good couple, but it’s the fighting (in either sense) that ruins things.

“Out, everyone out. I give too much shit at home / in my heart and mind, it gets me every time.

“Out, everyone out” is squalled with such emotion. I imagine someone just getting fed up, feeling like he’s trying so hard, giving himself to this relationship (home means perhaps a marriage?) and feels like he is getting nothing in return.

“So why do we go through all this shit again? / Your eyes are fluttering, such pretty wings, / a moth flying into me, the same old flame again. / It never ends.”

The repetition is wonderful in that it reinforces the idea of never ending. The addition of “shit” again shows much anger, the heightened vocals. It all adds so much emotion. And it never ends.
