Favorite song off the new record. The song is about falling in love with a girl, and having her toy with you and make you chase her. She loves the chase, and she's giving wrong impressions because she likes to feel loved, even though she has no feelings for the guy. Here's my analysis:
"I felt a stutter and a waiver, cutting like a razor
Like fire through the snow, then straight down to the bone"
The guy knows he likes the girl. She seems to like him back but he's not so sure. Something seems off and she's giving mixed signals. He can feel this "cutting like a razor" straight down to the bone.
"She creeps up like a spider, then wants you deep inside her
She turns you into stone, a twisted little show"
Again with the mixed signals. She gives wrong impressions and teases with you because she likes being chased. She creeps around you like a spider, giving you the impression that she is into you. Then it all comes crashing down right when you think you've got her. She turns you into a twisted little show, a mess and wreck of emotions as you realize she's not into you at all.
"That's how it was to all begin, cause good girls they like to sin,
Way back at the starting line, when Eve was on Adam's mind."
Love this line. This shows you aren't the first guy to fall for this girls trap. This has been going on for all time because this is just what "girls do." Eve was on Adam's mind because they were the only humans alive, so naturally Adam "liked" Eve. You may seem to like "the good girl", but the "sin" is that she loves the chase and may be leading you on.
"And he was the first to go, in search of the great unknown,
And falling yet again, cause good girls they like to sin"
Adam was the first guy to "go" and fall into the girls trap. Even though the story of Adam and Eve isn't a love story, the parallels are eerily beautiful. Adam fell for her, but Eve sinned when she ate the apple. Much like a guy fell for a girl, but she sinned when she led him on. Adam was the first "guy" to fall for this, when he went searching into the great unknown (pursuing a girl).
"You are a hero and survivor, your eyes are getting tired,
There's claw marks up your spine, it happens all the time"
Tom is now speaking to "the guy". You're a hero to the rest of us guys. You fell for a girl but she led you on and broke your heart. But you're still here and alive. A survivor, but you're tired and exhausted from the experience and the "chase". The claw marks are your "battle wounds", and it happens to more people than you think.
"Those silent evil daughters, like sirens on the water,
You've been the perfect crime, it happens all the time"
Eve's "daughters", being the rest of the female population. He compares them to sirens, evil creatures. You, the guy, were the perfect crime. She led you on, felt loved, and then broke your heart. She had it planned perfectly, but you were the victim.
Love love love this song. Let me know what you guys think.
@darkchronic Easily one of the most unique blink songs lyrically in my opinion. Love the Adam and Eve reference with all the other weird sexual tensions.

I still think it's more about sex but love.
