D.R.U.G.S. – The Hangman

• 0
  My Opinion:I love this song because I related it to a relationship I was in that was difficult, dragged out and ugly at the end.
  It reminds me of a couple who have completely destroyed their trust in each other and who now are angry at each other but who stay together because they have been through so much and because the lust is still there. The silence he talks about in the first lines 'these walls talk more than we ever will' and 'i could get used to this world, standing oh so still' to me just screams silence and alienation and distrust.
  The chorus makes me think there was some cheating going on that led to the strain in the first place. 'oh please let me be, accused of everything'-the other partner is throwing their infedelity back in their face. To me it makes even more sense in the next lines when he talks about letting him bleed and leaving him with nothing(she ripped his heart out, left him bleeding and with nothing but anger and hatred). Also the next lines tell it too-"i can see through your hate, your words twist our faith"-he sees right through her lies and her words are straining their precarious trust even more.
  
  The second part to me, is like them coming back together and having sex, trying to reclaim the old times, "skin ripped up(scratching), lips chapped(kissing), he is obviously trying to fool himself into thinking that with this new round of sex things can be okay because it's so good "i wish you'd never stop at all, I wish you'd never leave at all" but knowing that it's just lust speaking, that she destroyed his trust and it won't ever be the same. It even says as much in the next verse "put those filthy hands back in those dirty pockets"-saying to her to get her lying self off of him and out of his life and go back to her own life. Then he tells her to 'wipe her lips, we both know they've been everywhere' he's just reinforcing what he already knows-she cheated, her lips and hands are dirty and they both know it and that the relationship has reached it's end, they can't go on like this. Very sad.
  
  Hope this made sense to someone, I think I understand it so well because I had a very similar experience and it tore me to pieces, this song made me think of what it was like to hang on to someone so tightly even though in the end they will just slowly destroy you.

  Lyric Correction:The Title is "The Hangman"
  
  Here are the official lyrics
  
  These ears don't deserve the things
  You've been feeding them
  It's no wonder that you've never done a thing
  I wish you'd never talk at all
  
  These walls talk more than we ever will
  I could get used to this world
  Standing oh so still
  So hedge my bets and stand my ground
  I'll never talk at all
  
  'Cause sometimes sometimes
  Hate can be so beautiful
  Hate can be so beautiful
  
  Oh please oh please just let me be
  Accused accused of everything
  Oh please oh please just let me bleed
  Abused abused left with nothing
  I can see through your hate
  Your words twist our faith
  With you it?s never easy
  Oh please, oh please just let me be
  Accused, accused of everything
  
  This skin ripped up again
  With lips chapped up
  From a long nights, they don't mean anything
  I wish you'd never leave at all
  
  Our sheets covered in sweat again
  I could get used to this heat
  Our hearts are beating
  Through our chest
  On to your breath
  I wish you'd never stop at all
  
  'Cuz sometimes sometimes
  Hate can be so beautiful
  Hate can be so beautiful
  
  Oh please oh please just let me be
  Accused accused of everything
  Oh please oh please just let me bleed
  Abused abused left with nothing
  I can see through your hate
  Your words twist our faith
  With you it's never easy
  Oh please oh please just let me be
  Accused accused of everything
  
  Accused accused of everything
  Accused accused of everything
  
  Spread until you break
  Spread until you break
  And put those filthy hands
  Back in those dirty pockets
  Spread until you ache
  Spread until you ache
  And put those filthy hands
  Back in those dirty pockets
  And wipe those lips baby
  And wipe those lips baby
  We both know they've been Everywhere
  
  Oh please oh please just let me be
  Accused accused of everything
  Oh please, oh please just let me bleed
  Abused abused left with nothing
  I can see through your hate
  Your words twist our faith
  With you it's never easy
  Oh please oh please just let me be
  Accused accused of everything
  Accused accused of everything
  Accused accused of everything
