More songs by Her Words Kill
Description
Through the rustling of rain and the blurred cacophony of guitars, a strange film emerges - either a road with ghosts or dreams on the verge of insomnia. Words cling together in fragments: ‘take the child away,’ ‘pack up the tears,’ ‘I don't want to wake up.’ Everything seems to be said half a second later than it should be, and that makes it all the more disturbing.
The music whispers, then presses down with heat, and in this heat you hear not summer, but fever. It's unclear where the end is, where the beginning is, but one thing is clear: this is the soundtrack to a night in which any ‘I'm sorry’ sounds like the last word.
Lyrics and translation
Original
We see you standing on the highway
Waiting for the attention you don't deserve
Why didn't you take your (paint me a)
Why didn't you take your (gun, my love, and pull)
Photographs with you? (The trigger on me, baby, blow me away)
Look at everyone else you're killing with you
Look at everyone else you're killing with you
Stand there in your suit and think this through
Use your gun to be a memory
It's time to be, honestly
She said, "Walk through the rain"
And there's a pulse, but not even a murderous photo
Think about being the hero
Think about being the legend
Another one that went and forgot to return
Dining at a table for two, forget the expenses
We see you standing on the highway
Waiting for the attention you don't deserve
Why didn't you take your (paint me a)
Why didn't you take your (gun, my love)
Photographs with you? (And pull the trigger on me, baby, blow me away)
Better pack your tears into a suitcase
And run away with my heart
Better pack your tears into a suitcase
And run away with my heart
And I don't ever want to wake up
That bottle is no good anymore, no
It's shattered, forgive me
It's shattered, forgive me
It's shattered, forgive me
I'd like to fade away, wipe me from your diary
Because right now I bet you feel so alive, so alive
"But the ghost of me, it needs to die"
Well, I'm not trying to stop you, sir
"But the ghost of me, it needs to die"
Well, I'm not trying to stop you, sir
It's just that we need everyone here
It's just that we need, everyone here accounted for
Everyone here, accounted for
