Cover art for 4 Walls lyrics by Black Light Burns

Well.\nI think that this song is about a relationship with a narcissistic person:\n\n"Go for the jugular, cut the vein\nAnd kiss it away Kiss it away, kiss it away\nEverything that brings me pain".\nThis part is the beginning of said relationship; where the love-bombing begins and the narcissistic is a "victim" of his/her past relationships and is "asking" to the new victim to save him/her and making this person feel like the abuser needs her/his and that the abuser is a nice person under the wrong circumstances.\n\n"It\'s not as hard to bend in the end\nSo let\'s do it again, do it again, do it again\nAnd this feels so new...\nTo be infecting you".\nI think this is when the cycle of violence beings. \nThe abuser dooes it again and again: the lies, the manipulation, the alienation and eveytime it happens, the abuser feels that power of being abusive to the other person and for the abused person feel like a disease.\n\n"I get a little aroused as it dies:\nThat look in your eyes, look in your eyes, look in your eyes\nAs I begin to get under your skin".\nIt says very clearly: it makes de narcissistic feel good as the other person starts to feel helpless and hopeless.\n\n"And now I know why I do\nTake it out on you, take it out on you.\nCause you always take it on the chin\nThat\'s what you get for letting me in".\nThe abuser always makes the victim bad about everything. Like walking on eggshells all the time. And the victim is always feeling guilty about everything and things that she/his is the "bad person" in the realtionship.\n\n"These four walls are blistering\nI watch the paint peel\nBut I cannot wake from this dream\nCause this is not love\nThis is not clean\nI\'ll keep digging down deeper in you\nUntil I find what makes you scream"\nThe four walls refers to the household and/or the relationship itself: it gets old, decrepit, boring, but they cannot escape from the cycle of violence their trapped in.\nThey know their not going anywhere, that they don\'t love each other nor themselves but the abuser is gonna do it until he gets bored or more probably, the victim breaks.
