Blackout Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sirocco 

Cover art for Blackout lyrics by Heatmiser

"Got your rejection, denied" sounds to me like "Got your attention, didn't I". If that's right, the first line would be "Asked your permission, didn't I?"

I also hear "But you're afraid of everything" and "Dead on the sofa".

I definitely agree with your interps here is the whole thing as I hear it:

asking, permission didn't I? to self medicate this way once in a while but you're afraid of everything your love's the missing link, you can't appreciate anything dead on the sofa with a record running baby i can't help letting you down letting you down letting you down

got your attention didn't I? crying coming apart right here before your eye how disappointed, are you now? i'm still listening, just tell me what you want i won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want leaving you alone wasn't...

shit

"asked your" not asking
