Serpentine Lyrics
A long stone and my day's all serpentine
The tired tarnish in my chest rests sense of SARS And one dull dawn where they hum that splits its length Does my name sting your tongue? Now does it babe? Your thin frame has set my eyes to fray On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches For every grey and sad and taut to coil And our frail eyes and there watch to finally talk One brash phrase could crush this fragile day As my thoughts swirl in some shrill, sad cannonade And one such spur that caused my throat to creak The one dull dawn that I've since sensed to repeat

Even without a clue I feel like he's describing how I feel sometimes, luckily not today. :)
I thought the first verse it sounded like person singing it has died, but it could just be metaphors.
A long stone and my day's all serpentine
(long stone-gravestone?) (serpentine shadows on the graveyard at the end of the day?)
The tired tarnish in my chest rests sense of SARS
(he died of SARS?)
And one dull dawn where they hum that splits its length
(beautiful line...what is the loud humming noise in the morning at the cemetary? machines for digging?
Does my name sting your tongue? Now does it babe?
(when she remembers feels guilty?)
But then the 2nd and 3rd don't seem to go with that idea...so it's probably something else.
The lyrics are so amazing.

1st Verse
1st- His day was "serpentine" so snake like? Must have gone by slowly or something.
2nd- Tarnish - lack of luster and SARS - respiratory desease and symptoms include shortness is breath, so he was having trouble breathing, and in my opinion not for medical reasons.
3rd- Dull dawn suggests a boring night, but I dont understand the phrase " hum that splits its length"
4th- Pretty much says "Does it hurt to speak of me?" in my opinion.
2nd Verse
1st- "Your beautiful"
2nd- Maybe it's talking about his and the girls(I'm assuming it's about a girl) house and that it's lonely
3rd- His unhappy feelings "coil" - to move in a winding course
4th- This line is weird, maybe "there" should me "their, but I dont know, I think it's just him and the girl finally talking, especially because of the next verse.
3rd Verse:
1st- He's being careful about what he says.
2nd- He's having a hard time thinking, and from the sound of it, is light-headed
3rd- He got nervous, so his voice cracked?
4th- It becomes another boring night.

...in my chest rests and then subsides.
also,
the 'i've since sensed to repeat' should be
'i've sentenced to repeat.'
the 'taut to coil' part is wrong too but i can't figure out what he's saying.
