Chemical Burns by Every Move A Picture
Performed by
Every Move A PictureAbout
An upbeat pop-punk rock song, with some surf-rock like riffs.
Given the repeated references to life, death, and “going”, as well as the imagery used, this song can be interpreted to be about standing next to the hospital bed of a lover, and trying to comfort them as they pass away.
Chemical Burns Lyrics
Heaven breaks beneath the harm
As tiny speakers crackle out your labored song
Stretch your life to take it in
There's no need to lie, we both know you'll be going
Feels like I'm out there
The fragrance of your wet hair
I've been around this town with you a time or two, dear
I've seen the moon against your lips and battled my fear
Ive seen it all, dear
It feels like I lived there with you
It feels I will die here now
And it feels I'm a slave to this ground
I've been around love
Still living underground, love
Poison burning up your arms
I just stand beside you dying for being strong
Squint your eyes to take me in
There's no need to lie, we both know you'll be going
Feels like I'm up there
The tender loving sweetness
I've been around this life with you a time or two, dear
I've seen the moon against your lips and battled my fear
And I'd do it again, dear
It's feels like I lived there with you
It feels I will die here now
And it feels I'm a slave to this ground
I've been around love
Still living underground, though
It feels like I lived there with you
Remember pleasures so hard and so few
It feels I'm a slave to this ground
Ive been around, love
Still living underground
