untitled 2 (performance from youtube) Lyrics
thought you were the sweetest kid
did you even know?
and all the time you thought you did
was it just the girl (?)
we could try to wear you out
did you even show?
thought you were the sweetest kid
could i even know?
i held your hand into the light(?)
the scars were on the back
and all the time we were the right(?)
they try to make retract
and they can try to wear you out
put you down
leave you through the ideas of the lie
i thought you were the sweetest kid
could you even know?
all the time we get by
trying to figure out our lives
like a fade out
when you took the land-o-town (??)
were you just a twelve?
and all the time you built the lips
was it just for show?
and they can try to put you down
wear you out
get you through the pills that won't work
i thought you were the sweetest kid
did i even know?
all the time we get by
try to figure out our lives
like a fade out
did you even know?
and all the time you thought you did
was it just the girl (?)
did you even show?
thought you were the sweetest kid
could i even know?
the scars were on the back
and all the time we were the right(?)
they try to make retract
put you down
leave you through the ideas of the lie
could you even know?
trying to figure out our lives
like a fade out
were you just a twelve?
and all the time you built the lips
was it just for show?
wear you out
get you through the pills that won't work
did i even know?
try to figure out our lives
like a fade out

generally speaking, interpreting kevin drew's lyrics is like trying to sneeze with your eyes open. but either way it works for me. i love kevin drew!!! thanks for posting this :]
Very ambiguous, as usual. The song is absolutely amazing. Hopefully this and all the others will be formally released at some point.
I feel like it's to a kid that they possibly made fun of back in the day, but in reality they thought he was "the sweetest kid". The kid never showed how much it affected him, and eventually he landed in a mental hospital where he was put on the "pills that won't work". He feels bad about treating the kid this way, and this is sort of his apology.
All the time we get by trying to figure out or lives like a fade out...........
i'm thinking it probably has to do more with his or the person in the song's drug problems... than a kid in a mental hospital.
This is Broken Social Scene's Sweetest Kill...
I thought you were the sweetest kill Did I even know? And all the time we thought we did Was it just for show?
If they try to pull you out Would you even go? I thought you were the sweetest kill Did you even know?
I held your hand until the light The scars were on the back And all the time we were the right Was it just retract?
And they can try to put you down, wear you out Get you through the idea of the luck
I thought you were the sweetest kill Did we even know?
All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives Like a fade out All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives Like a fade out
When we took the level ten Was it just a twelve? And when we went to where we've been Was it just for self?
And they can try to wear you down, put you out Get you through your will, that won't work
I thought you were the sweetest kill Could I even know?
All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives Like a fade out All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives Like a fade out All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives Like a fade out All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives Like a fade out
I break you through this world I break you through this world Let me break you through this world Can I break you through this world?
