As the night ends, the two conclude that enough is enough and party ways before they get in too deep (drop dead hideous, how low is this brutal love?) and end in an unhappy marriage. Perhaps it’s the lack of romance and chemistry (bad sex, bad love) but the two can’t take it anymore (something for my troubled mind) as they’re running into neverending dead ends. It’s not their fault they’re like this and they chalk it up to bad luck as they try to claw at every reason to be together (anguish and shame, the modern fool). The two have clearly been through a lot, possibly being childhood friends (old toys, this plastic heart) but the more the two look outwards, the more they see that what they have isn’t what they want (loners and fools are tearing me apart) as they also begin to weigh out other options (the eyes of temptation, the flesh and my bones, hello stranger I’m a disaster). They want to be together but they know they’re just not compatible (dance forever under the light, this brutal love) and the only way to fix their relationship is just to leave each other (oh how you want it, you’re begging for it but you can't have it even if you tried). In this, both of them are looking at their last night together (turn out the lights, close your eyes) as their break up is coming up (turn up the silence, the heartache of your life). The lyrics look at a failing relationship that both parties are trying their best to fix, but no matter what they do, the end just seems more and more inevitable.
