Bite chunks out of me
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.
Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you.
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart.
Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins.
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning.
They'll nosh you up, yes they'll nosh the love away, but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.
Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you.
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart.
Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins.
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning.
They'll nosh you up, yes they'll nosh the love away, but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet.
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love it's very late.
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate.

'my love it's very late, till morning comes let's tessellate' - it's getting late, let's have sex tonight.
to put it bluntly.... :P
She is reveling in the love triangle; it's her saying, "triangles are my favorite shape..." She loves the game. She gets back at her husband, while she enjoys the sexual fling with this poor guy.
But her plan doesn't quite turn in her favor. While she enjoys the game, her husband doesn't. He is uncontrollable jealous when he finds out. What does he do? He kills her and throws in an ocean. She becomes seafood.
Well the poor guy who really loved her, despite her using him in her game, is haunted by her disappearance. He thinks of her and still desires her, even though he wasn't anything special to him and still had her allegiance to her husband.
So in the end the one burns (the poor guy), one red (the cunning and beautiful woman), one grins (the husband who shoots his wife to avenge her infidelity.)
The poor guy goes back to his hum drum life, the husband probably goes to jail, and the wife is devoured by seals.
I wonder if triangles are still her favorite shape?
"Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet."
That is not a full triangle. I will interpret it as both an incomplete triangle and the 'delta' symbol. He's very sarcastic at this point (esp after talking about arguing). It's not his favorite shape and that it sucks to be in a triangle where the love is one-sided. There's also a period of change (hence the delta symbol), and he's still being sarcastic about how he loves this change
"Toe to toe, back to back, let's go"
Toe to toe like in a competition, the fight is back to back.
"My love it's very late."
His love came late, his realization of his mistakes came late.
"'Til morning comes, let's tessellate."
So they argue all night long (tessellating being the repetition of something, something monotonous, and for the most part, one would gloss over as being not that important like the tessellation of tiles on the floor or the walls)
"Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you."
So leave now while he still remembers her for what he's loved, not this distorted vile being.
"Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart."
Green with envy as she leaves (for she will probably end up with the other guy in the love triangle), he still keeps what they were in his heart
"Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin"
NOTE: I don't think he says 'grin', i think it's 'green'
In the love triangle, she goes off (burn) and completely burns their ties. One's empty (red), which is the other guy, who's not really even in this situation (argument). One's not quick enough (green); he's green with envy and he wasn't quick enough to secure their love.
"Search the graves while the camera spins."
He searches for what's already dead while he reminisces through photos.
"Chunks of you will sink down to seals"
He slowly tries to suppress his thoughts about her.
"Blubber rich in mourning."
He eats to forget
"They'll nosh you up, yes they'll nosh the love away, but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me."
He's made the action of eating to forget in the form of a third person because at this point, he's not aware of what he's doing anymore. The seals are responsible for eating for him. They will slowly eat the love away, but the thought of her will always still haunt him.
Tesselate, as stated, is when two pieces fit together perfectly and I think "three points where two lines meet" is a metaphor for the outer shape of the female genitalia.
The song was also written before the band name was made up I understand - the triangle doe not specifically refer to the Mac symbol therefore.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points, where two lines meet - A love triangle has 3 relations-ships, all between two people within the group.
The rest is self explanatory, let the poetry put it together for you :) Awesome lyrics and song! pretty blue actually...
