I've been away for every day and every fucking night.
I've seen your eyes, i've seen your eyes, i've seen your eyes.
I've been away for every day and every fucking night.
And with every city, it gets harder.

You gotta mouth like a razor-blade, it cuts so deep.
So kiss my wrists my neck and give me eternal sleep.

You say, you say, I'm only a phone call away.
But for me, this distance is decay.
So line my throat with lipstick and leave my blood for flies.
Ill gurgle the blues under a sea of lies.
Before you take me to sea, let me kiss the bride.
Now take my body to the shore and ill wait for the tide.

I will always love you. But i need pills to sleep.
I have always failed you. So throw away my memories.

So throw away my memories

    Song Meaning:The song is about this dude on tour and trying to have a long distance relationship
    and he is in love with this girl who is cheating and lying. She is hurting him
    and he would rather die than put up with it anymore.
    As for the title of the song, Slater is the name of the guy who she is banging and he knows about it.

    Song Meaning:LMAO at all the comments saying that Slater from Blessed by a broken heart (myself) has anything to do with this song. I joined the band after BBABH + BMTH had done a few tours. I dont know any of the guys personally in BMTH nor did i sleep with any girlfriends. Its a different Slater.

    When we played a few Japan shows this past year, I even joked with Oli Sykes, telling him how much I hear "hey slater, isnt that BMTH song about you?!" I then thanked him because most people connect me with being the guy with chlamydia.

    Im no part of this! haha

    check out BBABH online

    General Comment:To me it's very clear that this is about a relationship in which Oli is very often far from the girl (most likely being on the road so long) and that the distance is killing him. "Every city it gets harder" could mean it's so hard for him to stay true to her and not cheat on her or something. And the "I will always love you but i need pills to sleep" and "I have always failed you, throw away my memories" part could mean he loves her but its so hard to stay true to her and he feels horrible about it. "ill gurgle the blues under a sea of lies" could mean that he's lied to her so much and knows it, and he knows its killing him, the blues he's gurgling just happens to be this song. "Before you take me to sea, let me kiss the bride. Now take my body to the shore and ill wait for the tide." could mean a final apology for all the lies or repentence to her for all of it, and then self-condemnation for everything he's done.

    General Comment:Well, heres what i think...
    From the first verse we can understand that he is away somewhere, probably in a tour...He is away from a beloved person that he is missing, so time is hardly passing by. Everyday he is missing her more and he cant stand it. ( "...and with every city it gets harder")
    The razor-blade mouth in the second verse portrays how badly his girlfriend treated him, probably calling him names all the time...He is so sad about that, thats why he is asking for a relief("...give me eternal sleep.")
    As far as the third verse is concerned the girl tries to convince him that distance isnt such a great obstacle(" just a phonecall away...") but for him things are different.
    Maybe Slater is the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend and by saying"tell Slater not to wash his dick" means that he may be away,probably touring, but that doesnt mean that she can start cheating on him now that he is away..
    What i do not understand in this song is these lyrics:
    " So line my throat with lipstick and leave my blood for flies.
    I'll gurgle the blues under a sea of lies. Before you take me to sea, let me kiss the bride
    Now take my body to the shore and i'll wait for the tide"
    Can anyone help? :D
    Thnx for reading this, i hope it helped a bit!
