Like Knives Lyrics

Lyric discussion by fakesoundofprogress 

Cover art for Like Knives lyrics by Dallas Green

Your words are like knives They peel my skin and pierce my soul

Pretty obvious what he means here.

Your body will burn tonight… Though your heart may still remain cold

I think Dallas is talking about this girl in the song. Her body may burn tonight....she may have found another relationship/another guy. However, it wont fulfill her, her heart will still remain cold, it wont be love, itll be just another senseless/meaningless relationship.

And I will blame myself And I will blame myself For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side I will blame myself

He's obviously blaming himself for what broke him and this girl that he loves apart. He sees it as his fault. He also blames his continued love for her and all his memories. His memories are what he holds onto that he hoped would keep her by his side.


The Sheets are stained with… Memories of your soft kiss Now this is all I have Paper and pen to remember you with

Obvious meaning in the first two lines. Now all he haves is a paper and pen to remember you with. He used to have this love from this girl. He used have everything. Now he has nothing but memories and a paper and pen to express them with.
