last night we went to a party.
there were a bunch of big names there.
i've been conditioned to sell myself.
well, that's not what this is about.
so i've got one hand on my neck
to keep all the vampires out.
i'm gonna finish this stiff drink and i'll be on my way.
no, this isn't me. no, this isn't you.
it's to eat or be eaten
but i just took one bite and that's all it took.
now write me down in your book, in your book.
i say "goodnight." i put the keys in the ignition.
i think the entire existence is asleep it's so quiet.
my headlights dance pictures on the treeline.
the song floats out the window into the fog-filled night.
i'm home now. it feels different.
i undress in the dark and find my way to the sheets.
my head is light from what you said. you were dead right.
now they're back at my throat and they're thirsty.
i haven't proved anything until i've proved them right.
this apple in my hand, i just took one bite.
i just took one bite.
no, this isn't me. no, this isn't you.
it's to eat or be eaten
but i just took one bite and that's all it took.
now write me down in your book, in your book.

"this APPLE in my hand, I just took one bite"
It's bugging the shit out of me what he says in the second line of the chorus. "Didn't want to be eaten" all blended together maybe? Sounds like eaten at the end at least. As far as meaning I think it's along the lines of someone cheating or possibly a one night stand. "I've been conditioned to sell myself" definately is pointing towards a cheap hook up of some type. Or maybe it's even about the recording industry? iono I'll look closer some other time. Great song though, awesome bass lick, great beat, just overall great music-scape
Oh and it totally doesn't belong here but thanks to my ex for introducing me to these guys. And to think, I used to make fun of your music. I told you there was a little emo faggot inside of me :)
