Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow
She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking while she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow
Just another reason looking for the next because
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Tomorrow's not a new day
Or time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away
A day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face
The past was out of view
She never fooled us
Because she could never fool herself
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets a bay every day
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow
She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking while she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow
Just another reason looking for the next because
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day
Tomorrow's not a new day
Or time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away
A day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face
The past was out of view
She never fooled us
Because she could never fool herself
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets a bay every day

"She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)"
- This is just saying that she's sort of worthless. She has nothing, but even then she will lose everything, and she is alone.
"She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)"
-
"We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag every day"
- They're saying that they were the cause of her suicide.
"She lives like she's dead tomorrow"
- This is talking about the day before she killed herself.
"Just another reason looking for the next because
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)"
- Talking about how everyone hated her and no one ever cared about her.
"Tomorrow's not a new day
Or time to think things through"
- Again, the day before she kills herself. She wont have time to "think things through" (decide against suicide) because she'll already be dead.
There's a lot more I want to say but it all relates to Thirteen Reasons Why lol.
Play Dead: The cliques want me to be as brain dead as they are, but I'm going to ignore them and be an individual.
Shallow Grave: That freak tried to be different from us, but we managed to beat her into submission (one way or another).
"It ends up being sort of a dancy song, but the lyrics are sort of dark and speaking about a character. I remember when I was originally being interviewed I mentioned that it was sort of inspired by a Black Dahlia. It wasn’t specifically about her, but it was sort of a concept. It’s about a tragic character who only achieved fame through suffering or having something horrible happen before anyone really paid attention. That was the case in the Black Dahlia, she was a struggling actress. That is the case for a lot of people. They get their fame and notoriety through the tragedies in their lives, so for me that is where that song comes from."

By the way, I agree with UsagiHell. 100%.
