Nerve, here I burned feeding on his lung
Verve, is his curse because he wanted to meet Christ alone?

Bitch, you're no good
We could be so flown
Misunderstood
We could be
You're God

There in my bones
We could be so flown
Misunderstood
Because we wanted it to be alone

But you will

No, you will never find me, breach unborn
Never come here watch me burn
Never bitch because your scars show
Never will I burn under and beneath the floor

Before, face it
'Cause you're no good
We could have been like one

Beg, don't even try
And you will never
Beg

    General Comment:These lyrics aren't quite accurate, but I know this song is about a relationship that didn't work due to differing beliefs.
    Nerve, here I burned, feeding on his lung, -I fucked up by being ballsy enough to discuss religion
    Verve is his curse, because he wanted to meet Christ alone. -I believe Chino is saying the man (him or someone else) didn't share the same organized beliefs as the woman, he had his own beliefs and his curse was being passionate about and expressing them

    Yeah, you're no good, we could be so flown. Misunderstood, because he wanted to meet Christ alone -We could've been awesome together, but the misunderstanding between us made it impossible to see eye to eye

    But you will, no you will never find me breach unborn -I wont change my beliefs for you, you wont see me compromise who I am to be with you
    Never, come and watch me burn, Never, bitch 'cause your scars show -We'll never work because you believe I am a sinner, we'll never work because I see through you, I know who you really are.
    Never will I burn under, beneath the floor before his face -I'm not the one who is in the wrong, I'm not the one who fucked everything up
    'Cause you're no good, we could have been like one -Self-explanatory

    FUCK IT (also self explanatory)
    Bet you feel sore, we could have been so flown, Misunderstood because he wanted to meet Christ alone -There's no going back, you screwed us up and all because of a stupid little difference in beliefs

    Never will I burn, will I burn -I'm not going to take the fall for this, I'm not going to feel sorry for this.

    Don't try, 'cause I will never beg, don't even waste your breath -I'm done, you fucked us up, I have no interest in reconciling this relationship.

    Granted I could be reading way into this because I just went through literally this exact scenario, but listening to this song before (having little clue what it meant) and listening to it after the break up, It makes far more sense and I can understand and relate to the lyrics and the angst of the song far better than I ever could.

    Hope some of this made sense.

    General Comment:i always thought he said you will never find me, preacher boy, which would make sense with the other religious lyrics like he wanted to meet christ alone, so i always thought it was a religious song

    General Comment:ok forget everything I wrote before, upon further listening I'm pretty sure this song is about miscarriage/abortion.
    and that's why there are so many religious references cause Church is strongly against abortion.
    if you do it, you are a sinner and deserve punishment - burn in hell

    General Comment:it's about relationship, which is reaching it's end cause the man feels the woman is NOT worth the effort.
    he doesn't like her, she probably did something wrong in the past, so he decides NOT to open himself to her and show her who he truly is

    ...never bitch...

    General Comment:Sounds to me like someone had a miscarriage because they were shooting up drugs.

    "Feeling sore," "could be so flown," "unborn," "scars show"...you know.

    Just my perspective.

    General Comment:sounds like someone wanting to kill themselves and meet with god but in religion you kill yourself your go to hell, so chino is saying he's better than the person who begged for death and took their life so they could see christ, but ended up burning in hell for it.... fuck it idk what chino was trying to say but thats my guess at it

    General Comment:Best song on the album. Adrenaline is my favorite album by them, unlike most, who would prefer white pony, cuz it was pretty awesome. Adrenaline to me is like...one track with different chapters, you know? Some lyrics on certain songs are repeated ie "youre no good". i
