Behind closed doors your words ring hollow
What you said they'd be
What behavior? Who are you, but I like it
Now I'm done with nothing new, sometimes green sometimes blue
And I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
Hey hey hey I'm guilty and you're guilty too
Hey hey hey hey
I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too
One two three, I found you out so easily
One two three, I found in you what I found in me
The time is wrong, the time is right, be careful who you kill tonight
And I'm melting, and I'm melting, and I'm melting, and I'm melting
And I'm melting in you
Hey hey hey I'm guilty and you're guilty too
Hey hey hey hey
One and one and one makes three
One and one why don't you see
I'm killing you, you're killing me
Can't you set me free
Inside out, I can't describe it, what you do to me
Inside out, I cannot hide it looking right through me
Now I've reached the living end, pointing fingers to defend
And I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty, and I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too

    Actually, seems more to me like the theme is deception. There have been secrets, but they're both to blame equally. "You're killing me, I'm killing you. And I'm guilty, too."

    How dare you compare Gravity Kills to Linkin Park. You should be lynched.

    i love this song! it is pretty straight-forward; he may be talking about the end of a relationship and who's to blame for the break up.

    agreed, Steel. Linkin Park doesn't even come close to Gravity Kills. Better songwriting, better music, period.

    I think the song is about sex. Either infidelity or a secret relationship that no one knows about. They know they shouldn't be together but can't stay away from each other. Their both 'Guilty'.

    Gravity kills was like the Linkin Park of the early 90's. Nice techno sound, shallow lyrics.

Anti-Hero

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Alma Matters

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
