-- When the shirt came off, it was all in time
When a minute turned into a mile --
Apparently they are so drugged up, that everything is mechanic. Routine. All they seem to do together is drugs and have sex.
-- And then I broke that grin, and I cut it out
And you got all turned on by the taste of your sin
When I mention blue, all you thought was color
When you mention drugs, all I thought was sober
When your pants came off and I turned you over
When you mention blue --
It seems like he's wanting more out of life, but being with someone who is also into drugs doesn't help at all. Its hard to escape out of that life once your in it.
Plus, Bert isn't gay. He had a girlfriend who was pregnant with his child. She committed suicide and killed the baby in the process. A lot of their songs reflect this. Try listening to "All That I've Got" and "Hard to Say". They are about her.
-- Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a little while --
He isn't happy with his situation anymore. He's tired of the constant drugs and sex.
-- Keep the mask aligned
Get it up in time
There's a space between valleys
and try and catch a vibe --
He's trying not to let on what he's feeling, cause he's scared she might leave him, and he's too familiar with the world he's in... even though he wants to let go of it.
-- Make a circle square, a rectangle curve
Use a smile as a noun and I think like a verb
Run quick switch sides
Spill the filled up canister
And the room is shaking
Now you're changing places,
and I switched my pace,
and my breathing races when you mention blue --
It seems like, she's starting to understand where he's coming from. He's seeing hope in this. His breathing races when she mentions blue... cause he's starting to think that she's finally understanding where he's coming from. That maybe it'll work out after all.
Well, that's just my interpretation!!
