You said I began
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
And this city's cleared my innocence
Coffee is pouring out my ears
It's the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
Number tree still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness
Another coffee it's on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbor's smile he's handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see
And my hearts stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
And this city's cleared my innocence
Coffee is pouring out my ears
It's the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
Number tree still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness
Another coffee it's on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbor's smile he's handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see
And my hearts stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

As a result of being bitchslapped by life because of this boy she has resorted to drinking and smoking and basically city life. She goes back to him perhaps sometimes but only to make a fool of herself, and whenever someone like a neighbor tries to get through to her, no matter if if their coffee is even blacker than the ex-guy's it makes no difference to her.
See line:
"Another coffee it's on the house, the poor girl look is on the owners spouse, and my heart stops beating!"
I don't really think it's just about heartbreak. I think it's more like when your whole life is pressing down onto you. This can be shown through
"I heard the trains are running late"
"But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me"
Like I assume it's about a partner but I don't think it's because she's heartbroken, maybe just can't stop thinking about him. This whole messy relationship and at the same life and bad luck just can't stop popping up!
I especially love the lyrics
"And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess"
Like when everything's going wrong and you just laugh.
the boy that always tickles me in journalism and art class gave me a copy of this cd.
and i absolutely love this song.
"I have gone too far in my lifelessness.."
Love that line.
Beautiful song.
It's as though she realises everythings she's lost in losing the love of her life (even if she never realised his importance) and in that moment her heart breaks.
Never the less. Beautiful.
What about the video? In the end the 'evil spirit' is the girl herself, and she is the master of puppets? Did she mean that in the end she is on top of the thing?
Wow, you posted that almost four years ago. Doesn't matter I suppose. Haha!
like entree is number 1
main meal is number 2
and dessert is number 3
I think this song is about a girl who has just been dumped by her boyfriend and ends up staying up all night drinking coffee.
when she talks about her heart stopping, i'm guessing she's talking about her heart is, you know, broken and it can't beat unless she's with him.
"outside your house, to make a scene, in my head you grabbed me passionately, but the lights are out, and in an hour i walk home in the pouring shower"
this is pretty obvious..
and perhaps her neighbour has a crush on her?
