Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire Lyrics

Lyric discussion by alvinmakersgreensong 

(and they would follow you home) (until we wind up dead) (checking your pulse)


i think this part is about this girls bf watching her and noticing that she is with a guy friend and he wants to end that because they look like they are getting too close together. thus "until we wind up dead" and the "checking your pulse" means to make sure she stays away from the guy friend and make sure she is not lying about seeing him.

======================================================================================================== (we'd wait across the street) (under our tree) (outside the front door) (in autumns blind embrace) (but you wouldn't let her anyway and we run) (and we framed these moments) (till one remaining cold calculated thought)

the guy would wait for her anywhere and he is waiting on her and hoping she will leave this guy for him and the guy was being modest when it says "but you wouldn't let her anyway and we run" meanings he wants her to stay with him and even though he is unhappy he just runs away. and when it says "and we framed these moments" meanings when they had fun he/they remember all the times they had fun sneaking around and talking. then the guy fnds out because of this line. "till one remaining cold calculated thought" so she stays away from the guy friend and tells him he has to stay away.

so then this is where all of this happens

========================================================================================================= today your dream is dead and when you wake it won't be there today your dream is dead

the guy has gone away and left her alone. and her dream of one day being with the guy is gone and wont be their for her anymore

and sew that smile up with threads embrace this hope and let it flow you failed it

in this line he means stop that fake smile. look at what you have in me (the guy) and just take him but she failed to do that

to shy to know your worth hurt from insensitive behavior you're scared of what this really is and where this might lead us next don't let me go I feel it

he is talking about how great this girl is. how she is so much better than the guy she is with hense the part to shy to know your worth she keeps getting hurt by this guy hense the "hurt from the insensitive behavior she is scared of how she feels about this guy or guy friend and how her feelings are toward him and where "this might lead us"

the dont let me go part is about her letting him go obviuosly and him opening up to her and she wont accept it

(it grabbed us by the throat) (it grabbed us by the throat and we continue to breathe) it's how I feel about love that it's not worth it

the it grabbed us by the throat means now that they are opening up the guy cuts them off and they continued to see each other but she wont leave him. the "its not worth it part" is about him giving up and waiting for her and doesnt want to get hurt by him

========================================================================================================= i n failure dreams fall pushing nightmares over pavement walking these streets like a victim

now that he cant get her it seems as though everyone looks at him like he is a freak and he is walking a street like another guy (guys you all know this feeling.[unless you are like an abercrombie model or whatever])

you say I will lie and let me win this life you won't regret my love make you happy at your best you'd noticed all of this meaningless

she thinks that he is lying and if she gives him her life he will just do the same as the other guy he is saying that she wont regret being with him and he is making her so happy 'make you happy at your best' and then she noticed that the guy is SO much better she noticed the guy sucked hense "you'd noticed all of this meaningless"

I destroy you even through the only things that I have left for your condescending eyes looking at each others white lies my heart ache is useless so quickly we'll address the shadows running from light


he is talking about the guy now (i destroy you) he is better than the guy and destroyed him (even through the only things that i have left for your condescending eyes looking at each other) he doesnt have much to offer the girl but the truth and love so he is better and he has opened up to her fully now with the shadows funning from sunlight meaning that he is pointing out everything and doesnt have much time but still wants her badly

It'll take this breathe denying what is left of us if you could just wake up tonight Id be with you under the sky with you tonight

so she is breathless and she denies that they are something and if she just wakes up from her nightmare with this guy she would notice this great guy right beside her

well guys i did this like all now sooooooo its not the best but i will redo some of it some other time. i hope i didnt just do something stupid and was WAY off
