The skin around your mouth
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out

Your words are infectious
Your eyes leave me breathless
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out

I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on girl
This is me without you

Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Just try to run
You can't escape me
This is the last for me
This is the last for me

What's it like in the greater sky?

I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on girl
This is me without you

Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Tell me what's it like
Tell me what’s it like
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Now I'm alive

    General Comment:ok so if they admittedly said its about sex then i totally get it. i would say the beginning of the song is about him saying how much he craves and wants this woman sexually, and then finally figuring her out and getting to hook up with her, ending up pretty much bangin the hell out of her, and her not wanting anymore or something. maybe hurting her, in reference to the doctors lol

    General Comment:Essentially...

    The skin around your mouth
    The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
    I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
    Until I figured you out

    - He's beginning his revenge on her. She always had him so entranced by her sexual side. He never had been happier or more "alive" before he met/fell in love with her. And then he found out who she really is.

    Your words are infectious
    Your eyes leave me breathless
    I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
    I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
    Until I figured you out

    - She has such a way with words and can manipulate him. Her eyes plain old leave him breathless. He knows this makes her a deadly combination. Again, she made him the happiest he had ever been, til he found out the truth.

    I've got the moves to make you move
    The thorn in my side just may be you
    I know you know what's going on
    I know you know what's going on girl
    This is me without you

    - He's got the moves is reference to the sexual aspect of the relationship, but the annoying pain he can never get rid of is her, that feeling when you resent the one you love or are with. Hes going to return the favor ten fold, and she knows what hes about to do. Him killing her is him "without her," he's ridding himsself once and for all.

    Breathe easy
    The doctors are about to arrive
    Just try to run
    You can't escape me
    This is the last for me
    This is the last for me

    - Relax, itll be over soon, the end is near. She can't get away, this is his final act.

    What's it like in the greater sky?

    - Whats it like in heaven?

    I've got the moves to make you move
    The thorn in my side just may be you
    I know you know what's going on
    I know you know what's going on girl
    This is me without you

    - Same as above

    Breathe easy
    The doctors are about to arrive
    Tell me what's it like
    Tell me what�s it like
    Breathe easy
    The doctors are about to arrive
    What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
    Breathe easy
    The doctors are about to arrive
    Now I'm alive

    - Again, hes killing her, and telling her to relax, the pain will be over soon. Then goes on to acknowledge the irony of it that hes telling her to relax when hes killing her. And now finally hes referencing back to the previous line of "I never felt so alive" and saying now, finally, after killing her, he truly is alive.

    General Comment:i think alot of you are really close.
    a guy and a girl fall in love and have sex(both virgins or atleast the girl is)
    and for the most part(exept the end) is about them breaking up at first because the girl cant tell him.
    the ending is about the hospital, with the doctors and stuff
    "what a passive thought when the truth is that im taking your life" can be seen as the baby "saying" it becuase now she will have to take care of his, essentialy "taking her life" and "now im alive" is also obviously the baby.
    if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. to me atleast

    My Opinion:For some reason, this song reminds me of the whole Twilight Saga. I'm not obssesed with Twilight, but while I was reading the book, I would listen to this song. It made it more intense. :D Uhmm like,

    "The skin around your mouth. The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this"
    In the first book when he rather just BE with her than rather kiss her all the time.

    "I've never felt so alive, until I figured you out."
    In the last book when he can finally read her mind.

    "Your words are infectious. Your eyes leave me breathless"
    She is so odd, but beautiful in her way that makes him attracted to her.

    "I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way"
    She is very clumsy, or her as in her smell.

    "I've got the moves to make you move."
    He makes her dance.

    "The thorn in my side just may be you"
    She is what makes him, him. She makes his pain and everything.

    "I know you know what's going on. I know you know what's going on girl"
    Her knowing he's a Vampire.

    "This is me without you"
    In the second book, he goes and tries to kill himself when he thinks she killed herself.


    "Breathe easy, The doctors are about to arrive"
    When the other Vampire bites her and she knocks out. Or when he has to turn her into a Vampire.

    "Just try to run You can't escape me"
    When he leaves, she still always sees him.

    "What's it like in the greater sky?"
    What's it like to be normal I guess.

    "What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life"
    When he bites her, he has taken her human life.

    "Now I'm alive"
    When they live happily ever after.

    General Comment:This is such an amazing song, and, about the title...Locke says "I'm not a thief, I'm a treasure hunter." in Final Fantasy 6. So it has nothing to do with the song. I'm not going over the lyrics, because the fact that it's about sex has already been established.

    Song Meaning:I listened to this song ten thousand times, and LOVE IT<3

    Well, I thought it had something to do with her cheating"Ive never felt so alive until I figured you out"
    and breaking up with him"this is me without you"...

    Then maybe he raped her, and killed her. That's what I think he meant by "Whats it like in the greater sky". Like, whats it like in heaven.

    And maybe he regreted it, "breathe easy the doctors are about to arrive"
    I may be waaaay off, but its just a guess.
    I'm honestly not sure, would really love to figure it out for sure. I lovelovelove the voice, the lyrics, the music. Everything about it is so amazing to me.

    General Comment:i think the high voice really gets to me. if it wasn't for that, i would love it.

    but i haven't figured this song out completely. i know its about sex, but i'm not sure how the title relates to the song. he raped her maybe? it would make sense with the music video. but idk...

    General Comment:A guy and a girl love each other so much, but the girl hurts him in an unnoticable way. Though she's hurting him, to others, she is perfect. She is graceful, beautiful, and they all feel bad because she's making it seem that the guy is hurting her a lot. She wants people to feel bad for her, and he finally realizes what she's doing. Hence, "I've never felt so alive, until I figured you out". She's got all these people feeling bad for her and making her "happier", so she has become popular and everyone loves her ("What's it like in the greater sky?"). The guy can't take it so he then hurts her by leaving her for good. He tells her that her "friends" will arrive to "try" and make things better ("Breathe easy, the doctors are about to arrive"). Now that he's gone, he feels alive. To me, this is what the song means.
