Cigarette in Your Bed

My Bloody Valentine

Falling down
I like to watch you
Crawl around

Arms untied
Scratching your eyes out
With a smile

Strange stare
Strangled by the blade left
In your heart

I glide by
Slip a cigarette
In your bed

    My InterpretationI think this is about a girl (hence Bilinda singing) making her (ex-)lover feel like shit; she loves making him (or her) feel pain.

    -She likes to see him trip, fall down, and crawl around.
    -Arms untied could either symbolize that they are now ex-lovers (untied), or possibly untied arms from having them tied during sex. I think the former makes more sense, as her smile is scratching his eyes out.
    -He stares back strangely, emotionally distraught by the blade she left in his heart.
    -Finally, underscoring how she doesn't give a single fuck about him anymore, she slips a cigarette *BUTT* in his bed. I think of this as the metaphor for their relationship, which was short-lived, like a cigarette.
