Dissolve Lyrics
tell them whatever you want
you and i know what happened here
tell them whatever you want
we gave each other proof we were there
there's nothing left on you
we sat and watched the glue dissolve
ask me whatever you need
i'm just waiting to obey
ask me the things you don't see
i am living to repay
there's nothing left on you
we sat and watched the glue dissolve
tell me what i deserve
i'm just waiting on your words
tell me i'm fit to be torn
you go, i stay, nothing gets done
there's nothing left on me
but breaks and cuts i know you can see
we're dead, we're bones, we're dust
there's nothing left to lose
you and i know what happened here
tell them whatever you want
we gave each other proof we were there
we sat and watched the glue dissolve
i'm just waiting to obey
ask me the things you don't see
i am living to repay
we sat and watched the glue dissolve
i'm just waiting on your words
tell me i'm fit to be torn
you go, i stay, nothing gets done
but breaks and cuts i know you can see
we're dead, we're bones, we're dust
there's nothing left to lose

I think it's about either a bad date or a bad relationship. It makes me think a bad date because of the "we gave each other proof we were there", like they have proof to show friends that they went to the date. It seems a very cynical song, like the date took a turn for the very worst, insults. Saying that she's fit to be abused or something. Very odd lyrics on this one, but my favorite song off of the new album.

"I wrote "Dissolve" while experiencing a new kind of break-up for the first time: a slow fade rather than the fiery, passionate blazes to which I grew accustomed during the drunken haze of my college years. Looking backwards, I think of that as my first "grown up" split; what it says about me that I regard slowly watching things melt down to nothingness as the mature way for a relationship to end, I'm not quite sure."

the daytrotter version sounds a bit different,
she is saying "of" instead of "on"
and the last lines sounds like
"we're dead, we're bones, we're dust there's nothing left of us"
which makes much more sense to me.
