Essentially...

The skin around your mouth The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this I've never felt so alive until I figured you out Until I figured you out

  • He's beginning his revenge on her. She always had him so entranced by her sexual side. He never had been happier or more "alive" before he met/fell in love with her. And then he found out who she really is.

Your words are infectious Your eyes leave me breathless I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way I've never felt so alive until I figured you out Until I figured you out

  • She has such a way with words and can manipulate him. Her eyes plain old leave him breathless. He knows this makes her a deadly combination. Again, she made him the happiest he had ever been, til he found out the truth.

I've got the moves to make you move The thorn in my side just may be you I know you know what's going on I know you know what's going on girl This is me without you

  • He's got the moves is reference to the sexual aspect of the relationship, but the annoying pain he can never get rid of is her, that feeling when you resent the one you love or are with. Hes going to return the favor ten fold, and she knows what hes about to do. Him killing her is him "without her," he's ridding himsself once and for all.

Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Just try to run You can't escape me This is the last for me This is the last for me

  • Relax, itll be over soon, the end is near. She can't get away, this is his final act.

What's it like in the greater sky?

  • Whats it like in heaven?

I've got the moves to make you move The thorn in my side just may be you I know you know what's going on I know you know what's going on girl This is me without you

  • Same as above

Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Tell me what's it like Tell me what�s it like Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life Breathe easy The doctors are about to arrive Now I'm alive

  • Again, hes killing her, and telling her to relax, the pain will be over soon. Then goes on to acknowledge the irony of it that hes telling her to relax when hes killing her. And now finally hes referencing back to the previous line of "I never felt so alive" and saying now, finally, after killing her, he truly is alive.
