Diamond Rings 2007 Lyrics
Oh it takes my life away
To think of her as gone
Now I'm running down the maze
And I'm finding only war
Blowing down the flame
To catch the burning wax
Now I'm running out of steam
Watch this man collapse
You said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then I'll stay the whole night through
And I'll turn from sad to blue
Yes I'm choking it to you
Yeah I'm choking it to you
Wish you'd think of me
The way I think of you
Well I find it hard to breathe
Cause now I know the truth
So what good would fingers be
If it weren't for diamond rings?
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king
And you said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me oh what you find
And then I stay the whole night through
And I turn from sad to blue
Yeah I'm choking it to you
Miss, I'm choking it to you
(Go ahead now, tell them all about it)
So what good would fingers be
If it weren't for diamond rings?
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king
To think of her as gone
Now I'm running down the maze
And I'm finding only war
To catch the burning wax
Now I'm running out of steam
Watch this man collapse
And you will tell me what you find
And then I'll stay the whole night through
And I'll turn from sad to blue
Yes I'm choking it to you
Yeah I'm choking it to you
The way I think of you
Well I find it hard to breathe
Cause now I know the truth
If it weren't for diamond rings?
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king
And you will tell me oh what you find
And then I stay the whole night through
And I turn from sad to blue
Yeah I'm choking it to you
Miss, I'm choking it to you
If it weren't for diamond rings?
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king

I agree with exotic coconut's interpretation of uncatchable love. I feel as if his love is getting married to someone else.
Oh it takes my life away To think of her as gone Now I’m running down the maze And I’m finding only WALLS
Blowing down the flame CATCH THE BURNING WAX Now I’m running out of steam Now watch this man collapse
And yes, he definitely says..."Miss, I'm choking it to you"... which I think is hilarious. I never caught that in all the years listening to this song until I read the comments.
Love the guitar picking in this song.
i don't feel like deer tick songs need to be analyzed. that said, to answer the question, 'what does this song mean to you," i would say it means some love should never be had. quite possibly that some love we have should never have happened but somehow that is the love that lasts forever, even if 'i'm no king.'

'what good would fingers be, if it weren't for diamond rings?'
sounds like a line about materialism.
the chick left him because he's poor.
Great song, great band. Couple corrections though:
"Now I’m running down the maze And I’m finding only walls"
"Yes, I'm choking next to you" Makes more sense seeing as how he is laying next to her turning from sad to blue.
'what good would fingers be, if it weren't for diamond rings?'
idk i kinda thought it could mean what's the point of life if it weren't for love? but kingstons interpretation is probably right.
He's definitely saying "I'm choking it to you, Miss I'm choking it to you." Its just a little bit of dirty humor. I mean come on, "I'll turn from sad to blue"?
Go ahead now tell em all about it.
So I also think that might explain the 'What good would fingers be if it weren't for diamond rings?" line. Pretty funny I think.
