I love the guitar work in this song. It's so rich and melancholy.
This song basically talks about a break up. She no longer wants him, and while the relationship was brief, he's still pining for her.
Love is like a drug, and he's "wired," and he tells her that he's not like all the other 'pretenders' who fall at her feet.
One of my favourite lines are:
"In a sea of painted whispers did I drown."
As if all the words she said were 'painted whispers', lies, or explanations of why the relationship couldn't last. And the fact that he 'drowns' in these words is so emotive.
I wonder about the line, "It’s the way you always left me coming down" - perhaps she also abused the relationship, or perhaps didn't treasure him enough?
Basically he's tired from wanting her so badly and wants to stop feeling the pain of heartbreak; he wants "mercy" from it all.
"And they say that you can reach the sky upon your knees and without pride,
I’m screaming, but my needs have chained me to the ground…"
