LOVE this song... the only think is for song reason I don't quite get the corus(haha smart right?) if someone could explain it tha would help!

I Love everything about this part "Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve I wound it round and round my finger so tight It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside"
