Lyrics Analysis

It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten

The first verse talks about a boring lifestyle, where everything is old and rotting away and there is no fun to be had. Clearly Character One is angry, as 'four-letter' refers to swearing. 'Fuck and kiss you both at the same time' could be about a boss the character hates and often complains about, but kisses up to nonetheless.

I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way

The character has some bad habits, perhaps with drugs, but wishes to quit because he doesn't want to carry on living the way he does. He's used to being on his own, but now someone (Character Two) had begun to get in his way and meddle in his life.

I can't decide whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why my heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

Character One isn't sure if he likes the presence of this other person, or if he wants to get rid of him for good. He believes the alter ego to be a good influence, but still hates him for getting in his way. He begins to realise that he is indeed a bad person for having these thoughts, so that's why his 'heart feels dead inside.'

It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled

Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled

Character Two sees how anti-social Character One is and just how much of a loner he has become. Despite his efforts, he can't get anyone to like Character One and becomes frustrated, while Character One reverts back to his ways of drinking and drugs.

Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping

The two characters begin to fantasise different ways to kill one another, although they both know that deep down they'll miss the other one if they do kill them. However, they are also suspicious of each other, knowing that they're both plotting each others deaths.
