WHY?
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It starts with you
2
on a mattress in your parents' old room,
3
clipping your toenails into the room
4
like the room will fade
5
and you will move
6
onto other rooms
7
and you will go
8
to other places.
9
Then the wedding,
10
Then the woman passed out
11
in the driver's seat
12
at the order board at White Castle.
13
We woke her up and she went
14
'round to the pick up window
15
like she knew exactly where she was.
16
Then I wept
17
with my face in your night shirt,
18
trying hard as hell to say
19
"until death separates us,"
20
loosening the skin on your breastbone,
21
I painted your nails
22
and you sleep
23
while I write all this down.
24
There was a moth caught in the soapdish
25
laminated in lye
26
Will you still remember me well
27
If I don't get to two-o-o-five?
28
my dead line Gemini
29
When we're on different sides of the globe
30
I thought we'd keep our veins tangled
31
like a pair of mic cables,
32
And if there ain't enough slack to reach
33
that we'd solder them together
34
and across oceans they'd stretch.
35
Our faces reflected in separate windshields
36
and all our body hair pricked up
37
an elephant eyelash.
38
Should we be tempted by thief or saint
39
it seems I leave and you stay
40
to crawl the cage and curse.
41
But don't regret the done dirt,
42
there is no life plan set,
43
you just swallow the cold
44
and follow your breath until death.
45
Now even if the will to sleep persists
46
I can't 'cause a harsh cloth, it grazes my blisters.
47
There was a moth caught in the soapdish
48
laminated in lye
49
Will you still remember me well
50
If I don't get to two-o-o-five?
51
My dead line Gemini.
52
Today I fell asleep in a bath of hair.
53
Hair that once sprouted from my own
54
white wet chalk follicles.
55
I swallow a coal
56
and follow my breath
57
and I did it with the grapefruit soap
58
thinking of you.
59
Bathed, shaved, and oiled,
60
your legs are two skinny dolphins swimming
61
between the mattress and the layers of bedding
62
turning in your drug dry sleep.
63
When I ask you to kiss my pulse
64
you offer to start the shower.
65
I want a verb and you give me a noun.
66
What do you dream up while I tongue you down?
67
There was a moth caught in the soapdish
68
laminated in lye
69
Will you still remember me well
70
If I don't get to two-o-o-five?
71
My dead line Gemini.
72
You know my build.
73
You know my size.
74
The degree to which my eyes
75
are astigmatic.
