In Retrospect Lyrics
Go ahead and knock me out,
it hurts so good and you're all I've got.
The last thing that you said to me,
was that you and I were meant to be.
Hold my hand and check my pulse,
revive me with just one touch.
You'll never want to end this.
Go ahead and knock me out,
it hurts so good and you're all I've got.
No hospital is gonna save you from a broken heart,
a broken heart.
No words could rid you of your regrets.
Sweet dreams on your last night.
I hold your hand and check your pulse,
you're already out cold on the floor.
Go ahead and knock me out,
it hurts so good since,
since your all that I've got.
No hospital is gonna save you
from a broken heart, a broken heart.
No words could rid you of your regrets.
I need you in my life.
Don't do this to yourself,
you're the only thing I've got,
and the only one I want,
is never gonna stop.
She's killing herself to sleep,
sweet dreams and rest in peace.
it hurts so good and you're all I've got.
was that you and I were meant to be.
revive me with just one touch.
You'll never want to end this.
it hurts so good and you're all I've got.
a broken heart.
No words could rid you of your regrets.
Sweet dreams on your last night.
you're already out cold on the floor.
Go ahead and knock me out,
it hurts so good since,
since your all that I've got.
from a broken heart, a broken heart.
No words could rid you of your regrets.
I need you in my life.
you're the only thing I've got,
and the only one I want,
is never gonna stop.
She's killing herself to sleep,
sweet dreams and rest in peace.

I added these lyrics. Feel free to correct my errors.
"Revive me with just one touch" instead of "wake by me..." "It hurts so good SINCE, SINCE your all that I've got" instead of "it hurts so go says...."
i'm pretty sure "You're already a coat on the floor" is "You're already out cold on the floor"
i was thinking its about a break up or whatever and commiting suicide
Has anyone noticed that there are two people talking in a lot of the songs on this album?
In one verse it says " Hold my hand and check my pulse, revive me with just one touch" Who is this 'me' we are talking about? Is he speaking for himself, or is this the voice of the person that he will find on the floor?
Later on in the song, the lyric changes to " I hold your hand and check your pulse, you're already out cold on the floor." It seems as if the verse changed pronouns and is now reffering to him.
in retrospect is the song where she dies.
"Shes killing herself to sleep"
But,
The next song " the artificial" seems like he is pleading with the voice, albeit an artifical presence to come back to him. He speaks about how paths arent always pre determined and that does she realize what she is leaving behind....
But hey, its just my interpretation. There is probably much much more to it.
First time I heard this song I thought he said, "hold my hand and shave my balls."
