Metal Now Lyrics

Cover art for Metal Now lyrics by Say Anything

I think this song is about...angry sex. About almost hating someone, but the sex is still good. About having trouble in a relationship, but you know you're meant for each other. "I'm a freak, from the same place..." = It's hard to be with someone when you feel like you're looking in a mirror, and the other person reminds you of how you yourself are.

"Let suicide make a meal for birds" = someone kills themselves and then the birds eat the remains.

Apparently the girl in the relationship has already tried to kill herself...in 1996. Perhaps suicidal thoughts are the bond between them? "Listening to live through this..." music helps them through tough times?

I still don't really get "Metal now, but I've always been..." Does he mean "Metal" as in the music genre? A "metal" sort of attitude towards life? Is he cold like metal?
