Follow your bliss
If it's on my chest
I know I got it tattooed for a reason
Why can't I just hold it true
Cause I'm still crashing
All the funerals
Of these people that I never knew

I'm stuck in a coma
Stuck in a never ending sleep
Someday I will wake up
And realize I made up everything

I shut the door and
Turned all the lights out
And listened to all the songs that the night shouts
They go something just like this
So, go fill up the glass with tonic rocks and gin
And drink yourself to happiness

I'm stuck in a coma
Stuck in a never ending sleep.
Someday I will wake up
And realize I made up everything.

We cannot hang ourselves
From gold chandeliers
And drink it back to all,
All the pain it feels
Loose lips and sunken ship
To a shallow grave
Washed up upon the rocks

I won't be saved
I won't be saved

I'm stuck in a coma
Stuck in a never ending sleep
Someday I will wake up
And realize I gave up everything

I won't be saved
(So follow your bliss, if it's on my chest)
I won't be saved
(I know I got it tattooed for a reason)
I won't be saved
(I shut the door and turned all the lights out)
I won't be saved
(I listen to all the songs that the night shouts)

    We can all go hang ourselves From gold chandeliers And drink it back to hell All the pain and fears loose lips have sunk the ship To a shallow grave Washed up upon the rocks

    that is they it is, if i'm wrong it still is for me

My Interpretation on this is that the narrator in the song used to be with a girl that he loved so much and but during that time he was one of the cool guys at school that lived freely(partying and alcohol, etc.) and he wasn't really able to get over his former glory. on the other hand, his girlfriend/ex matured, and started thinking about their future and got a job/career. and since he became much like an alcoholic bum of a sort, he got jealous with the girl having to work all the time having no time for him so didn't felt like "he mattered to her". somewhere in there, they broke up. so one night he went to her place all drunk so he's got this "too drunk to drive" excuse to stay. Trying to somehow patch things between them by telling her that she was "the best he ever had" and that he's really sorry for having "blew up" their relationship years ago, or else they'd still be together. On the second verse he was trying to tell her that all he really want is to be with her and that he has somehow improved that if she'd take him back, he'd no longer drink and sleep around and if she'll accept that he's still in the process of picking himself up and not to expect a great make over, then she might not be let down. The chorus is his way of telling her that they can still do what they used to find exiting or an adrenaline rush and that by doing so, even if the past is gone, they might still be able to pick-up some of the pieces of their past and replace their past failures with a renewed love to take it's place. The last part he says, "she took my heart", means he never got over her and probably never will. The line "there's only one thing I couldn't start", means that he couldn't actually start the conversation with her because he was too drunk to think straight and all of these words were just running inside his head and these were all the things he wanted to tell her.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
