Heart Attack Lyrics
all you pretty people standing
blood under your nails
doing nothing, saying something
never seems to fail
but our guards are down, defenseless
and our walls have cracked
so my heart is beating faster
than a heart attack
kiss the way we were goodbye
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
goodbye goodbye
so they whisper secrets to you
that I know you hear
all the thoughts that rush inside you
never seem so clear
you should write a book about it
you should start a war
you should tear your eyes out of you
and still look for more
kiss the way we were goodbye
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
we die oh ho ho
pretty people standing by
we blame we pretend
and we try and act surprised
as we watch the world end
all you pretty people here with me
(all you pretty people here with me)
all you pretty people scaring me
(all you pretty people scaring...)
but our guards are down, defenseless
and our walls have cracked
so my heart is beating faster
than a heart attack
heart attack
heart attack
heart attack
kiss the way we were goodbye
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
we die oh ho ho
pretty people standing by
we blame we pretend
and we try and act surprised
as we watch the world end
kiss the way we were goodbye
(goodbye goodbye)
kiss the way we were goodbye
(goodbye goodbye)
kiss the way we were goodbye
(goodbye goodbye)
as we watch the world die
blood under your nails
doing nothing, saying something
never seems to fail
and our walls have cracked
so my heart is beating faster
than a heart attack
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
goodbye goodbye
that I know you hear
all the thoughts that rush inside you
never seem so clear
you should start a war
you should tear your eyes out of you
and still look for more
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
we die oh ho ho
we blame we pretend
and we try and act surprised
as we watch the world end
(all you pretty people here with me)
all you pretty people scaring me
(all you pretty people scaring...)
and our walls have cracked
so my heart is beating faster
than a heart attack
heart attack
heart attack
goodbye and farewell
first we live but then we die
we die oh ho ho
we blame we pretend
and we try and act surprised
as we watch the world end
(goodbye goodbye)
kiss the way we were goodbye
(goodbye goodbye)
kiss the way we were goodbye
(goodbye goodbye)
as we watch the world die

well i really dont think this is right, but an ex of mine explains it to me as his life is at the moment.
"kiss the way we were goodbye" -the guy is forgetting about the girl self explanitory
"first we live but then we die" -relationship is alive then dead
"so they whisper secrets to you that I know you hear all the thoughts that rush inside you never seem so clear" -everyone (pretty people) is telling the girl that the guy is still in love with her and he knows it hes just confused about her thoughts because she doesnt show emotion about it
"but our guards are down, defenseless and our walls have cracked" -the couple has been through so much they are completely vulnerable hearts on the table etc.
"pretty people standing by we blame we pretend and we try and act surprised as we watch the world end"
-the couple is pretending like nothing is going on they try to act surprised when someone (pretty people) claims there are still feelings between them the world ending is everything with the girl completely done and over with
I think this song is about a failed relationship, where the girl is influenced by other people to maybe end the relationship, or their (pretty people) influence is effecting them so badly that their relaionship is "dying", and the girl allows all the other to butt in and come with their opinions..
is it about society?
the "pretty people" have influenced the way this person sees everything but the narrator is slowly starting to see what is wrong with the world and his/her view of everything is changed drastically.
just a possibility.. but i agree, the failed relationship meaning seems to make more sense.
