Epidemic Lyrics
Don’t say everything’s okay
Don’t tell me that it’s just a phase
It doesn’t help me
All the stars are standing still
The anger and the sleeping pills
Are all that’s left now
An epidemic in my heart
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will won’t let me be
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there’s noone else
Jelousy just eats me up
Another’s made the deepest cuts
My heart is popping
You say there must be an end
But afterwards we’ll still be friends
It seemed so easy
An epidemic in my heart
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will won’t let me be
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there's noone else
Don’t tell me that it’s just a phase
It doesn’t help me
The anger and the sleeping pills
Are all that’s left now
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will won’t let me be
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there’s noone else
Another’s made the deepest cuts
My heart is popping
But afterwards we’ll still be friends
It seemed so easy
Takes hold and slowly poisons me
Her will won’t let me be
It comes in waves and bleeds me dry
This love is slowly killing me
For me, there's noone else

First comment! I'm pretty sure this song is just about unreciprocated love for someone. In some parts it seems to be addressing another friend who he sought help from "Don’t say everything’s okay Don’t tell me that it’s just a phase It doesn’t help me" and later on, "You say there must be an end But afterwards we’ll still be friends It seemed so easy" It's described as an "epidemic" because of the love-sickness associated with it, and the fact that even if he tries he'll seemingly never be able to get it out of his head, and that as long as they stay friends it's still going to be there.
Pretty simple song lyrically, as are most Blackfield songs... And is it just me or does anyone else think that Aviv Geffen isn't a good songwriter? Wilson goes on about how he let Aviv write all the songs because he believes he is a good writer, but tbh I can't find anything on the guess album written by him that is actually that good. Lol i Wilson had to give him a bigger part just so he didn't complain =P I quite like Aviv's vocals though, but yeah, Steven all the way.
uh, damn typos.
