“Play Me Like A Violin” uses a girl as a metaphor to show Stephen struggling with Lyme Disease. It describes how much he wanted to escape the symptoms, and does so by telling a story where he goes to a club and takes ecstasy in order to feel like the man he was before. It shows him looking for someo...
[Verse 1]
This fire in my head's got me on edge
I'm going out tonight
Faded on a thread, don't know what's next
I wanna feel alive
[Pre-Chorus]
I kissed a stranger in a white dress
She put a crown on top of my head
Said, "Every king needs a queen in his bed"
[Chorus]
I said, "Hey girl, hey girl
I'd like to stay here for a while
Just you and I
Far from the places we can't get away from"
She said, "Hey boy, hey boy
I like your style
I'll let you play me for a while
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me like a violin"
[Verse 2]
I'm here with you now, not coming down
Leave my insanity
Up here in the clouds, look what we found
Oxygen, we can breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the madness slowly undress
Rip the mask off over our heads
We can dive down deeper instead
[Chorus]
I said, "Hey girl, hey girl
I'd like to stay here for a while
Just you and I
Far from the places we can't get away from"
She said, "Hey boy, hey boy, I like your style
I'll let you play me for a while
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me like a violin"
[Bridge]
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me 'til your hands give in
Play me like a violin
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me 'til you can't hide it
Play me like a violin
[Outro]
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me 'til your hands give in
Play me like a violin
Play me 'til the sun rises
Play me 'til you can't hide it
Play me like a violin

I wrote “Play Me Like A Violin” and “Stay” while recovering from Lyme Disease. At the time, all I wanted was to escape my symptoms and be myself again. Now, I don’t condone habitual drug use, but after months of not being able to do anything but rest, I was desperate for something more. “Play Me Lik...
I wrote this piano ballad called “Butterfly” when I was living in Joshua Tree. Months later I started producing the beat for it. At some point I muted my vocals, hearing the beat on its own, and a completely different world opened up. I heard in my head that melodic motif that runs through “Play Me...
