Singer Max Bemis told Alternative Press that he penned this song at the tail-end of the relationship that was chronicled on In Defense Of the Genre. “This is the only song on this record that really references that time as the relationship was over and I began writing for this record,” he explained....
[Verse 1]
Laid out, puking in the back of a
Fancy bar, you and your friends in the
Front booth laughing at my sweet naïveté
And its awkward gravity
Three years, I saw the decimation of the
World in you Messiah complex led a
Fickle flu to see its antidote and end in you
But now I'm gonna leave you
[Chorus]
Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise, you took the world from me
[Verse 2]
So beautiful, the ugliness within you
Last of three, baby of the family
Spoiled to bits and rotten to the shining core of you
And mad with power
I've seen corrupt the leaders of a nation
Stricken with the sickly imitation
Of a love the Lord would never stitch
You've got my cake, it's time to dine on the rich
[Chorus]
Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise, you took the world from me
[Bridge]
Band-aid, just a bloody Band-Aid
(So now, I feel...)
That's all I ever really was to you, Eloise
(...Like a child again)
Just a soldier with a syndrome and dreams of children's screams
(So now, I feel...)
You molded, you shaped like a God who loathes to create
(...Like a child again)
Band-aids. Two infected band-aids
(So now, I feel...)
That's all we were to each other, Eloise
(...Like a child again)
Just a couple of stupid kids throwing a ball back and forth
(So now, I feel...)
Just to see who drops it first!
(...Like a child again)
(Child again!)
Well, think fast, killer
[Chorus]
Eloise, Eloise you never meant that much to me (You can't take when you gave it away, you can't take it when you never wanted to give it away)
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
(You can't take when you gave it away, you can't take it when you gave it away)
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise, you took the world from me
[Outro]
You took the world from me
You took the world from me
You took the world from me
You took the world from me
