Hearts/Wires Lyrics

Cover art for Hearts/Wires lyrics by Deftones

I do not think these are the correct lyrics. Correcting them lends a whole new interpretation, which for me has to do with the pain of finding someone you know who would be your soulmate but the love is unrequited/unreturned. The person of interest has been hurt too much, has wrapped their heart in razor wire metaphorically. He wants to release her from this (find a way, a way out), and (metaphorically we hope) consume her heart and do some writhing about.

Here is what I believe they are:

Nothing can save me now It's what I believe The slit in the sky when you left Is all I see

Nothing to sing about I've bared all my leaves No vision OR dreams about you Came true for me

Cut through This razor wire And DINE on your heart MINE 'till the end

Stuck with illusion now I drown in your sea I hope that you first save yourself And then come for me

Cut through This razor wire And DINE on your heart Mine til the end

Break through CLIP the wires And writhe in your heart MINE til the end

Away, A WAY OUT, away Down deep into your veins All the way All the way Down deep in your heart All the way All the way, A WAY

Cut through (A WAY OUT) This razor wire (A WAY) Mine 'till the end Break through (A WAY) CLIP the wires (A WAY OUT) DINE on your heart MINE til the end
