I'm Not A Thief, I'm A Treasure Hunter Lyrics

The skin around your mouth
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out

Your words are infectious
Your eyes leave me breathless
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out

I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on girl
This is me without you

Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Just try to run
You can't escape me
This is the last for me
This is the last for me

What's it like in the greater sky?

I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on girl
This is me without you

Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Tell me what's it like
Tell me what’s it like
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Now I'm alive

Essentially...

The skin around your mouth The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this I've never felt so alive until I figured you out Until I figured you out

  • He's beginning his revenge on her. She always had him so entranced by her sexual side. He never had been happier or more "alive" before he met/fell in love with her. And then he found out who she really is.

Your words are infectious Your eyes leave me breathless I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way I've never felt so alive until I figured you out Until I figured you out

  • She has such a way with words and can manipulate him. Her eyes plain old leave him breathless. He knows this makes her a deadly combination. Again, she made him the happiest he had ever been, til he found out the truth.

I've got the moves to make you move The thorn in my side just may be you I know you know what's going on I know you know what's going on girl This is me without you

  • He's got the moves is reference to the sexual aspect of the relationship, but the annoying pain he can never get rid of is her, that feeling when you resent the one you love or are with. Hes going to return the favor ten fold, and she knows what hes about to do. Him killing her is him "without her," he's ridding himsself once and for all.

Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Just try to run You can't escape me This is the last for me This is the last for me

  • Relax, itll be over soon, the end is near. She can't get away, this is his final act.

What's it like in the greater sky?

  • Whats it like in heaven?

I've got the moves to make you move The thorn in my side just may be you I know you know what's going on I know you know what's going on girl This is me without you

  • Same as above

Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Tell me what's it like Tell me what�s it like Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Now I'm alive

  • Again, hes killing her, and telling her to relax, the pain will be over soon. Then goes on to acknowledge the irony of it that hes telling her to relax when hes killing her. And now finally hes referencing back to the previous line of "I never felt so alive" and saying now, finally, after killing her, he truly is alive.

No comments? I'm addicted to this song! I think it's about a girl who broke the guy's heart in some way, and leaves him dead (not literally) and miserable, but her looks mean everything to the guy, but he gets revenge anyway, so I guess he kills her and she ends up in the hospital and then he asks how does it feel to be hurt like him. And then she dies and the guy is all better (all alive.)

agreed :)

would be sick if the title counters the title of Circa survive's - We're All Theives

(simply put) i think the song is him getting over her and she isnt over him and hes rubbing it in her face... and uses all these fancy words to get the point across liek most musicians... poetic device.. Amazing song

but i like snort's version better.

live they said this was about sex

so, "breathe easy, the doctors are about to arrive"

....maybe she's pregnant with his baby?

"What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life"

maybe she died giving birth

this song makes perfect sense if its about sex. i love it. at the beginning, he's describing when theyre having sex. how shes irresistable and is "deadly" to him. then he "figured" her out, as if she cheated on him. and once things got rough, hes kinda taking it out on her. its like he hurt her physically through lust. and the girl had hurt him emotionally. so hes saying how does it feel and now he's the one thats alive through this.

Idk, I might be taking it too literal. but i guess songs are up for personal interpretation.

i could see how it's about sex; but when i heard it i thought it was kind of about a girl he was into but didn't understand. whether he learned she had ulterior motives or something i don't know exactly. But, i sort of related to it in this perspective, like he really cared about the girl and she made him crazy because he didn't understand her at all, didn't know what to expect, didn't know where he stood with her, all that jazz. So finally something clicks or he learns something and suddenly he gets her, and so it just makes it all the more exciting.

"The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this I've never felt so alive until I figured you out" [love these lines] He'd love to touch her, kiss her, but that means nothing compared to him finally feeling like he knows her [knows what to expect...].
