Carve A Name Lyrics
Oh I could make you think it'd be okay
For you to come around and carve a name
Oh I could make you think it'd be alright
Showing up and packing such a knife
Oh what'd you really think was gonna happen to me
In your surgery
Everything in and out of style
But cutting stuff has been around a while
Mutilate, try it on our wrists
'Cause everyone's a sadomasochist
Laugh it up as you cut, there is no pain
You carved your name into my heart again
To carve your name into my heart seems strange
Seems so strange
That's a lot of letters on a heart
Mama didn't name her very smart
At least she got a pretty little script
Mama put the pressure on her penmanship
It really is all insane
You carved your name into my heart again
To carve your name into my heart seems strange
You carved your name into my heart again
It feels the same as good old yesterday
And I don't want anybody to hold me while I'm suffering (suffering)
And I don't want anybody to show me while I'm fumbling
And I don't want anybody to sew me or pretend to make them mend
You carved your name
To carve your name into my heart, seems strange
You carved your name into my heart again
It feels the same
Feels the same
Feels the same as yesterday
Na na na Na na na
Na na na Na na na na

To carve your name into my heart seems strange
Seems so strange
Mama didn't name her very smart
At least she got a pretty little script
Mama put the pressure on her penmanship
To carve your name into my heart seems strange
You carved your name into my heart again
It feels the same as good old yesterday
And I don't want anybody to show me while I'm fumbling
And I don't want anybody to sew me or pretend to make them mend
To carve your name into my heart, seems strange
You carved your name into my heart again
It feels the same
Feels the same
Feels the same as yesterday
Na na na Na na na na

So I understand this song as in your love partner is hurting you and being possessive over you and saying it's for your own good. Since surgery is a good cause usually to help a patient but why a knife so big? So the person reminds them everyday that they belong to them because u usually carve your name on your property. Tho this is stressing him out and feels the same as yesterday and the day before and so on. He suggest cutting wrists, they laugh as they cut but the main character feels no pain because they probably are numb to it and he wants no help. He doesn't want anybody to see him suffer, fumble and help him sew the wounds
