Cover art for Civil War and Isolation Thirst lyrics by I Am Ghost

The song is about meeting a vampire and falling in love-

Two in the morning and it's last call (This is him waking up from a drunken blackout)

The taste of wine (Wine is the interpretation for blood)

The lipstick tattooed on my collar (The lipstick on the collar seems to be the vampires trademark)

Yeah, and I am sober. and the bouncers are all dead (When the bouncers were alive, they may have gave the vampire, being a lady a hard time. Maybe harassment and she did away with them.)

With a lonely kiss from the love I missed (Meaning the vampire bite. Being a vampire can be very lonely thus "a lonely kiss")

I will drink tonight (Drink blood or "wine")

She says "Let's put this stake right through our hearts." (She's teling him they need to kill eachother) To kill all the loneliness babe? (He's asking to kill all the loneliness babe?)

We'll never be apart (They will be immortal and live in love forever)

Soon we'll see the sun rise Soon we'll see the sun again. (Savor the rising sun, this woll be his last time seeing it)

I'm so tired, it's Killing me (The sun will be rising soon what do vampires do during the day? Sleep. If the sun gets him he's going to burn)

As she slits my throat with the pen I wrote "Civil War and 13." Sever the letter (This is her slippin him a note, "civil war" could be a hotel room? "13" a room number?)

You love it, you need it (This is the vampire trying to convince)

I can't die tonight no, no, no, no, no, no! (This is him begging not to)

And I'm still sober And the bouncers are all dead (This is him being sober and seeing all the bouncer slaughterd)

with an ugly kiss from the love I missed (Ugly kiss- vampire bite, he fell in love with the sexy lady)

I will drink tonight! (Drink blood!!)

She says "Let's put this stake right through our hearts." (She's teling him they need to kill eachother)

To kill all the loneliness, babe? (He's asking to kill all the loneliness babe?)

We'll never be apart (They will be immortal and live in love forever)

Soon we'll see the sun rise Soon we'll see the sun again We'll see the sun We'll fall in love (A sunrise is one of the most romantic moments they will fall in love as they watch the sunrise)

We'll see the sun, we'll fall in love again... (Seeing the sunrise will make them fall in love again)

Last dance with The Silence (This is their last dance alone in "silence" now they will have eachother)

I was so, so in love, you know I appreciate it, but I can not take it (No matter how much he loves he rejects what she's given him)

Never, NEVER again! (He's saying he won't feed ever again)

I'll drink to you... (This is his last toast to her)

She said "Let's put this stake right through our hearts." (She's telling him they need to kill eachother)

To kill all the loneliness babe? (He's asking to kill all the loneliness babe?)

We'll never be apart (They will be immortal and live in love forever)

Soon we'll see the sun rise Soon we'll see the sun again Soon we'll see the sun rise Soon we'll see the sun again. (He's going to watch the sunrise with his love as they immolate together)
