You gave me this
You made me give
Your silver grin
Still sticking it in

You have soul machine
Soul machine

The longest kiss
Peeling furniture days
Drift madly to you
Pollute my heart drain

You have broken at me
Broken me
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth mouth mouth

Your loaded smiles
Pretty just desserts
Wish it all for you
So much it never hurts

You have soul machine
Stolen me
All your mental armor drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth mouth mouth
Your mouth mouth mouth
Your mouth mouth mouth

We've been missing long before
Never found our way home
We've been missing long before
Where we'll find our way

You gave me this
Made me give
You have soul machine
Broken free
All your mental armor drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth mouth mouth
Your mouth mouth mouth
Your mouth mouth mouth
All your mental armor
All your mental armor
And your mouth
Mouth

    General Comment:i think its about some dude that is mentally manipulated by some gal, she mentally twists his thoughts but he's so addicted to her that he continues to stay. he knows she is treating him bad because he's 'nothing hurts like your mouth' but he indicates that she is some sort of soul-less person who sucks him in, "soul machine". Towards the end it seems like maybe he is singing with other guys that maybe this girl has manipulated at the same time, they are all singing together, "all your mental armor drags me down, we can't breathe when your around"

    General Comment:Peeling Furniture Day - Extremely Boring Day.

    This song is very obvious. What hurts the most from people that you care about? Their words. So, their mouth. There ya go.

    General Comment:I always thought this song was about oral sex. Now that I have read the lyrics, I have changed my mind. I always thought he said "All your metal armor drags me down, we can't breathe when you come around," and "You have some machine," instead of "You have soul machine." So basically I thought he was saying "You have SOME machine," meaning this chick has a really hot "machine" of a body and all her "metal armor" (t*ts, @ss, etc) takes the guys' breath away and they can't breathe when she comes around. But none of it compares to her mouth when she gives them a blowjob or they fantasize about her giving them a blowjob. Anyway, these are the correct lyrics:

    You gave me this, made me give
    Your silver grin still sticking it in
    You have soul machine, soul machine

    The longest kiss, peeling furniture days
    Drift madly to you, pollute my heart drain
    You have broken at me, broken me

    All your mental armour drags me down
    Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth

    Your loaded smiles, pretty just desserts
    Wish it all for you so much it never hurts
    You have soul machine, stolen me

    Chorus:
    All your mental armour drags me down
    We can't breathe when you come around
    All your mental armour drags me down
    Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth,
    Your mouth, mouth, mouth (x2)

    We've been missing long before
    Never found our way home
    We've been missing long before
    We will find our way

    You gave me this, made me give
    You have soul machine, broken free

    Repeat Chorus

    All your mental armour
    All your mental armour and your mouth(x15)

    General Comment:I read some guys comment it was about the needle and drug addiction, I like that. But also the braces idea is clever, but I don't know if its that straightforward. I actually thought it may have dealt with sexually transmitted disease? "You gave me this, made me give." We all know you can catch stuff from oral sex. But I dunno if that really correlates with the rest of the mental armour stuff.

    General Comment: What i think the song means is when your in a relastion ship and in love, that person is your world and your life but sometimes they may not feel the same way. when he says your mental armor drags me down means the things she does isnt what you would expect the person you love to do and when he says nothin hurts like your mouth is like when somebody says something that feels like somebody just punched you right in the stomach, people who say sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me are full of s#%@ because nothin hurts more than words.

    General Comment:Ah how I can relate to this one.

    About falling for someone, being led on in a way or hopelessly caring more and more for someone and they don't in return.
