Cover art for Strings lyrics by Getaway Plan, The

I think this song is about him and a girl - the girl is cheating on her boyfriend with the singer. One where he is much more emotionally attached the the girl.

Draw these strings tight Keep yourself inside Don't just lie there Part your lips and smile, Oh -Drawing the strings tight could refer to her shorts (taking it literally) or to drawing the blind's string tight so the blinds are shut tight. He tells her to not to just lie there but smile because she is beginning to feel guilty.

So you're dimming the lights again Glowing inside again Words exploding Just like poem's Carve them in stone So the love can't be torn apart -This is the part where the girl is beginning to get more passionate and they began exchanging intense words with one another (along with possibly other things) and he said to carve the words in stone because they will just be torn apart if she is only saying it to say it.

Past this blacken Lies perfection's eye's This perfection is rightfully mine -He is trying to say that although he is broken and blackened on the outside, understand he is so much more and she doesn't see it.

So you're dimming the lights again Glowing inside again Words exploding Just like poem's Carve them in stone So the love can't be torn apart

So you're dimming the lights again Glowing inside again Words exploding Just like poem's Carve them in stone So the love can't be torn apart

Carve them in stone So the love can't be torn apart

And I... Will Wait... For nothing... For You... And I... Will Wait... For nothing... For You... And I... Will Wait... For nothing... For You... -I think this is the part where he finally realizes everything in the song and he's letting her know. She may have promised something will happen (this is where the part where the words come out like poems and he wants them to be for real) but he knows it won't.
