One Weak Lyrics

These lyrics aren't quite accurate, but I know this song is about a relationship that didn't work due to differing beliefs. Nerve, here I burned, feeding on his lung, -I fucked up by being ballsy enough to discuss religion Verve is his curse, because he wanted to meet Christ alone. -I believe Chino is saying the man (him or someone else) didn't share the same organized beliefs as the woman, he had his own beliefs and his curse was being passionate about and expressing them

Yeah, you're no good, we could be so flown. Misunderstood, because he wanted to meet Christ alone -We could've been awesome together, but the misunderstanding between us made it impossible to see eye to eye

But you will, no you will never find me breach unborn -I wont change my beliefs for you, you wont see me compromise who I am to be with you Never, come and watch me burn, Never, bitch 'cause your scars show -We'll never work because you believe I am a sinner, we'll never work because I see through you, I know who you really are. Never will I burn under, beneath the floor before his face -I'm not the one who is in the wrong, I'm not the one who fucked everything up 'Cause you're no good, we could have been like one -Self-explanatory

FUCK IT (also self explanatory) Bet you feel sore, we could have been so flown, Misunderstood because he wanted to meet Christ alone -There's no going back, you screwed us up and all because of a stupid little difference in beliefs

Never will I burn, will I burn -I'm not going to take the fall for this, I'm not going to feel sorry for this.

Don't try, 'cause I will never beg, don't even waste your breath -I'm done, you fucked us up, I have no interest in reconciling this relationship.

Granted I could be reading way into this because I just went through literally this exact scenario, but listening to this song before (having little clue what it meant) and listening to it after the break up, It makes far more sense and I can understand and relate to the lyrics and the angst of the song far better than I ever could.

Hope some of this made sense.

@coehring yo I know this is a resurrection of this thread but I totally believe you are on point. I myself am going through this situation with the exception of the other party wanting and begging to come back and me denying BUT she fucked it up and if she does want to come back I'm going to quote, or at least remember, this song and your interpretation of it because it is on point. Good job!
