What you want
You are
You always were
What you want
You are
You always were
When the plans fall
Changing hands
What are the chances
Of winning?
You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
For its statistics
In the collected whole
We are the hunger
That keeps you climing walls
It's the one thing you can count on
We all end floating away
We all end floating away
You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
You
You're sinking, so they say
You
You're finished, so they say
You
You're buried, so they say
You
I care when caring fades
You are
You always were
What you want
You are
You always were
When the plans fall
Changing hands
What are the chances
Of winning?
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
In the collected whole
We are the hunger
That keeps you climing walls
It's the one thing you can count on
We all end floating away
We all end floating away
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
Is it your fault?
You're sinking, so they say
You
You're finished, so they say
You
You're buried, so they say
You
I care when caring fades

Kind of reminds me of the sound of M83. Here's an idea of what I think it means. I think it might be a long shot.
By taking a look at the lyrics I figured this song might be about a person loving someone who hurts them. I can't tell from which perspective it's being told, but this is what I see.
"You, you hold my heart You, you won't let up After when I'm called Touch turns into fisticuffs It's all in your head Wonder if I'm fixed to cut"
So I see this section about the love and it's an interesting play on words because there's both beautiful words that can define love (heart, touch, in your head, fixed), but at the same time there are words that describe hurt and not so beautiful things (won't let up, fisticuffs, cut).
"We are the hunger That keeps you climing walls" I think that the hunger here refers to staying even though leaving is a better option, even if you have to suffer (climb walls) to do it.
"For its statistics In the collected whole" Before when it says this it means in the bigger scheme of things... "It's the one thing you can count on We all end floating away We all end floating away" So it doesn't matter in the end, because everyone has the same fate, so why not stick it out together.
"Is it your fault?" She's asking if it's his fault that she is this way, or if it's love or herself or who?
Then in the end the last verse... I think it's a monologue. So she's talking to herself saying that it's all over and it doesn't matter anymore. And when she says "I care when caring fades" I think she's reached the point of numbness, where she doesn't feel the pain she only feels the love.
PS: The great thing about this song is that the words and the actual melody are perfect for each other. You can literally have the song on loop and because of the way that it begins and ends it sounds like a never ending song, so you can never stop... you're fixed. (:

To me this songs is about loving one self before you can love another.
(what you want, you are, you always were)
She seems to be clinging to a past love that was passionate but toxic.
(you hold my heart/touch turns into fisticuffs)
We have all met that person that makes you feel so alive but is so dangerous to your life. We tend to see that love as our true love and remain forever searching for it.
I love the image of the words. You can feel the emotions repeating themselves over and over in her head.
Isnt it:
Fake statistics And the collected whole
i think it's "you're buried" not "boring"
Thanks, you're right. I updated it.

I'm pretty sure the last line is 'A killer killing fate' not 'I care when caring fades'
agreed. She definitely says kill. I always thought it was "A killer killing face" but it could be fate. Watching the video, though, she's definitely saying "A killer killing" something.

This one I think goes along with ghostly theme of the album
I see it that she's a murder victim and it was her fate to be targeted by this killer (Wonder if I'm fixed to cut) Killers victims are now ghosts that now haunts him keeping him crazy (We are the hunger that keeps you climbing walls) Amy asks "is it your fault" many think abuse,evil or abandonment can warp one to kill Fantastic song!
It is definitely "A killer, killing fate"
Great song, great Album, great band.
