Exit Wounds Lyrics
In the arms of another
Who doesn't mean anything to you
There's nothing much to discover.
Does he shake, does he shiver
As he sidles up to you
Like I did in my time?
As you wake does he smother you
In kisses long and true?
Does he even think to bother?
And at night under covers
As he's sliding into you,
Does it set your sweat on fire?
Want you so bad I can taste it,
But you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it,
Or put me in the ground.
In the arms of another
Who doesn't mean anything to you,
Do you lose yourself in wonder?
If I could, I would hover
While he's making love to you
Make it rain as I cry...
Want you so bad I can taste it,
But you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it
Or put me in the ground
Want you so bad I can taste it,
but you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it.
Or put me in the ground
Put me in the ground [x3]
Who doesn't mean anything to you
There's nothing much to discover.
As he sidles up to you
Like I did in my time?
In kisses long and true?
Does he even think to bother?
As he's sliding into you,
Does it set your sweat on fire?
But you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it,
Or put me in the ground.
Who doesn't mean anything to you,
Do you lose yourself in wonder?
If I could, I would hover
While he's making love to you
Make it rain as I cry...
But you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it
Or put me in the ground
but you're nowhere to be found.
I'll take a drug to replace it.
Or put me in the ground

The protagonist has lost his loved one to another person and he can't live with this fact. He wonders about their sex life and that's basically the only thing that he can think about. So that says he wasn't in a committed relationship with his ex and it was solely about desire.
And this song is testimony to: 'Love Fails when the lovers don’t evolve beyond desire.' But what makes the song so sad is that the protagonist has lost his way. He doesn't care if he lives or dies: 'I'll take a drug to replace it Or put me in the ground'. The character clearly needs help, but his obsessive tendencies 'Want you so bad I can taste it' get in his way to be able to get help.
Pretty self-explanatory verses for one of my favourite tracks from Loud Like Love :)
