Reptilia Lyrics

This song isn't about date rape. I hate that people keep insisting that.

I think these lyrics explain everything:

"You're not trying hard enough Our lives are changing lanes You ran me off the road The wait is over I'm now taking over You're no longer laughing I'm not drowning fast enough"

It's a break up song. It's about a relationship that is going nowhere and a girl who is just doesn't care about the guy. The song is called Reptilia. Reptiles are cold blooded creatures.

@nygfan wow not at all correct your looking at one part of the song, and even parts of that allude to something similar to date rape. You cant look at one part of a song and disregard the other parts coming to an incorrect conclusion.

@nygfan yes. i love your analysis. cold blooded. oh my god you're so right. makes the title have so much more meaning.
