I'm Losing Weight For You Lyrics

Don't want to sing about girls
Or what they mean to me
I'm too narcissistic for all the scenery
My mood is never as bright as it seems to be
Transition from Jekyll to Hyde too seamlessly

But if you can hear this, I've had enough
Of straight lines and heavy loads
I'm just not this tough.
After my kind of night that ends throwing up,
Once I clean up my mess with it, my white flag is up.

I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you

I was lost for a while without my style.
I was lost for a while, but I'm back.

But if you can hear this, I've had enough
Of straight lines and heavy loads
I'm just not this tough.
After my kind of night that ends throwing up,
Once I clean up my mess... (Oh, fuck it!)

I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you

I'm losing weight for you
I'm losing weight for you
(He's losing weight for you)
I'm losing weight for you

Thanks for the help. I'm amazed you were able to pick those parts up cause I definitely couldn't.

lol this album took some early listening, careful dissection, many repeat listenings, and a few text message brainstorming sessions with my friend nicole, but i've finally got it down to a few words in "a little bit more". i posted my theory in the comments over there if you want to lend an ear and crack ben's code!

anyone knows what he means by "but if you can hear this, I've had enough / of straight lines and heavy loads / i'm just not this tough"? when i read the straight lines thing, i thought of cocaine, but as far as i know ben wasn't into hard drugs...heavy loads seems to point to alcohol, though.

I think "straight lines" is a reference to "walking a straight line," as in doing everything proper. I think it kinda refers back to how he "hasn't kept it clean, but now, it's high time for every dirty, awful word" since this song and Shock & Awe go together.

"Heavy loads" could be alcohol or it could be like the line "no matter how light the load, it tends to drag." It's pretty ambiguous but I think it just means the weight on his shoulders rather than anything he would physically need to carry....
