Lyrics for Knife as interpreted by sincereAccidents

Knife Lyrics
I want you to know
When I look in your eyes
With every blow
Comes another lie

You think it's alright
You think it's alright
You think it's alright
You think it's alright

Can't you feel the knife?
Can't you feel the knife?
Can't you feel the knife?
Can't you feel the knife?

This song is beautiful...I love the way it sounds...

and I understand where they're coming from with the lyrics...being lied to by someone you care about is never alright...

The video is fucking crazy....

I kind of thought the words went..


"I want you to know
when i look into your eyes
with every low
comes another high"

but i'm not positive.

Is it maybe not about being lied to, but about lying to somebody? To me it sounds like he's lying to her.

Ed: No, “Knife” is about backstabbing. Cheating. I don’t promote cheating.

Owen: So, you cheating on Chad or Chad cheating on you?

Ed: Well, it hasn’t happened. But that song is about stringing someone along and cheating on them. Maybe I’m just singing about someone who’s done that to me. I don’t even know.

If you guys want to go into authorial intrusion. But technically, it would be about him lying to him instead of her.

SeizureToday: I argued with myself whether or not to incorporate biographical information into my interpretation of the song, but since learning more about Ed, it seems fairly logical assuming Juan from argentina may have been an apple in an eye at one point in time.

I think its interesting, the parallel between 'another lie coming' and the questioning the effects of the knife: with every blow (arguably a stab) comes another lie (and with that injury comes, blood). So, in the end, blood and lies are somehow synonymous: both probably in abundance while the speaker stares into the victim's eyes. Jesus.

I don't know how you guys have missed this, but Edward Droste isn't in to women. He's gay. Maybe read Plans, He Hit Me, and basically every other song over-but Eward is gay.

Heh just looking at these lyrics doesn't do the song justice. Hopefully no one will judge the tune based on that because it's a classic, one of my very favorites.

i'm almost positive the line is actually

"with every lull, comes another rise"

if it's not, i'm still going to sing it that way because i like it better. anyways, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever...

I think it's about someone who knows their other half has cheated and is lying to their face about it and every day stuff too.
