When the shirt came off, it was all in time
When a minute turned into a mile
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
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
Keep the mask aligned
Get it up in time
There's a space between valleys
and try and catch a vibe
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
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
You, smile, cut out for me cut it cut it out
Smile, cut it out for me cut it cut it out
We cut it out
Get down and stay awake
Smile
When a minute turned into a mile
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
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
Keep the mask aligned
Get it up in time
There's a space between valleys
and try and catch a vibe
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
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
You, smile, cut out for me cut it cut it out
Smile, cut it out for me cut it cut it out
We cut it out
Get down and stay awake
Smile

I watched a live performance and Bert says 'got all turned on by the taste of the ocean' someone said thats a reference to homosexuality, I dont know, but it could also be reference to the drug 'blue'.
One of my fave's from The Used.
PS: Bert has an awesome voice and this song just makes that obvious.
plus when i saw the used, they played this song and bert def said ocean.
blue and yellow was written from Bert to Quinn after a fight between the two. "Blue" is a reference to Quinn. hence the blue rose Bert has tattooed on his arm. which to me, would mean this song has to do with some sort of sexual relationship between the two. you know you've heard the stories and seen the pictures of the two. plus, i recently watched an interview between the two talking about when they lived together. the question asked was something along the lines of "what did you decorate the walls of your room with?" and Bert said blue and Quinn said yellow and they both slyly looked at eachother. i'm a firm believer that this song is about Bert and Quinn.
as for the "and you got all turned on by the taste of your sin"..they were both raised in strict religious families, so having "gay sex" can be seen by some as a sin.
i always thought this was general knowledge about this song..or maybe i'm just being stupid, hahahha
watch this video and listen. its them live and it very CLEARLY says ocean.
