The song’s official title is enclosed in angle brackets, a nod to the HTML programming language. As the song expresses emotions from the artist’s “earlier teenage years,” this may even be a reference to myspace.com, a now-obsolete social network that allowed users to build their profiles using HTML.
You're alone
That means we're together
You pull the cord tight and shut your eyes
Razored wrists you sit in the closet alive
It's fading out now and you hope to die
You're waking up now with tears in your eyes
Fuck other kids you know they won't listen
Fuck all our sins that go unforgiven
Fuck drugs and fuck our decisions
And most of all fuck the houses we live in
Fuck satellites for giving us cancer
Fuck life and it doesn't matter
Fuck the dead for having a past with you
I'd stab the corpse of the one who touched you
You pull the cord tight and shut your eyes
Razored wrists you sit in the closet alive
It's fading out now and you hope to die
You're waking up now with tears in your eyes
I cringe and shiver with such thought
Because I'd be sitting alone in this parking lot
Imagine without you, friend won't forget you
And if you'd killed yourself I'd never have met you
