I said I'd walk you home after our third round
Of pouring whiskey down the barrel of our guts
And I grabbed hold of your hand.
We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets
And I'm out of my fucking mind
And I know you're next to me but I must confess what's in my head.
Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band.
The sky's on fire again.
Run down this alleyway.
Lightning bolts again and we become fireflies just flashing at the air.
Rattle garbage cans.
Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become.
And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head:
To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
And the tender warmth inside is released into my life
And it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face.
As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'll burn for you tonight.
Of pouring whiskey down the barrel of our guts
And I grabbed hold of your hand.
We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets
And I'm out of my fucking mind
And I know you're next to me but I must confess what's in my head.
Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band.
The sky's on fire again.
Run down this alleyway.
Lightning bolts again and we become fireflies just flashing at the air.
Rattle garbage cans.
Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become.
And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head:
To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
And the tender warmth inside is released into my life
And it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face.
As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'll burn for you tonight.

I think its about two friends. Chris and this girl. They're just having fun, drinking. Not enough to get them completely wasted, but enough for a buzz. So they know fully well what they're doing. Maybe they have feelings for eachother, deep down, under the friendship. They never tell eachother these things in fear of embarrassment, or possibly ruining the friendship. When inebriated, its a chance for them to finally express their feelings to eachother. Not that they're drunk and rambling all their thoughts (although the buzz is probably not hurting that), but that no matter what they do, after it all, they can just think "hey well, we were drunk, and that's okay. that won't hurt us." They start getting close, and Chris wants more. They have sex. And Chris is totally in awe over this girl. He completely loves her. Maybe for just that moment, or maybe he's always held that secret in. But they embrace eachother, and everything is drunken and confused, and that makes it all okay.
I like that its friends sharing this. Its something really deep, and I'd guess that Chris must smile everytime he plays this live.
And yeah, i definitely get the deeper meaning from this song. I think its meant to be interpreted however you want, and i think everybody's right in their own interpretations. Fuck i love this song.
to me this line is incredible, and it just wreaks with strength. saves the day never fails to send chills throughout my body
"..and I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head.."
they just got into position ;)
this part totaly touches me, i think it's so beautiful! is there any one hu can rite lyrics as god as STD songs? I THINK NOT!
"Pouring whisky down" does not mean that they are drunk in my opinion. It just means that they are out at a bar or something... when they leave the bar and are on the way home they become overwhelmed with love for one another (If you havent felt like that before I pity you... When i was going out with my ex girlfriend that sort of thing happened to me all the time- itd just randomly hit me that i was actually going out with her- it would just take me by surprise...)
As to the sex... I dont see any serious reference to sex.
"Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band."
This could be taken as sex, i guess, but to me it seems to refer to listening to a live band with the one you love
"Rattle garbage cans. Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become.
And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head"
I can totally see how this could be seen as sex, but i just dont buy it. Those lines could mean so many different things and there is nothing to back the sex aspect up except "lust" and "under me." Those two phrases are so vague, though, that i dont believe it is sufficient proof to make the entire song revolve around sex.
But im open to debate about it... i mean i may be completely off... any thoughts?
