- Meaning
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn your bed into my grave
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight
[Chorus]
Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, ooh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
[Verse 1]
Put those masochistic kisses on my neck
Are you a devil or an angel? I forget
'Cause when we're skin to skin, I can't remember how it ended
Amnesia, baby, keep it so committed
Got my eyes on you, maybe aimin' too high (Funeral)
Trigger-happy, wanna watch it all back (Funeral)
When you let me in, I swear I'll only stay a minute
Singin' famous last words, baby, listen
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn your bed into my grave
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight
[Chorus]
Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, ooh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
[Verse 2]
Oh, give me love, lay with me until the morning (Ooh)
I wanna feel the warmth of your light
Here as a man (Ooh), a fool for you (Ooh)
Don't make me wait at Heaven's gate, just let me through
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn your bed into my grave
Touch me, say goodbye
'Cause you know I'll never be the same
After tonight
[Chorus]
Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, oh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
To my funeral (Funeral)
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
[Chorus]
Put that poison on your lips, baby, take it slow
Lyin' in your arms, what a way to go, oh
Might as well be my last breath
You wore that little black dress to my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
Woah (Funeral)
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
To my funeral (Funeral)
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
To my funeral
[Outro]
Ooh
(Funeral)
(Funeral)
[Pre-Chorus: Teddy Swims]
In this section, the lyrics depict the bed as a grave, symbolizing the end of an emotional or physical state. The protagonist anticipates a profound transformation or conclusion after this night, emphasizing the irreversible impact of this final encounter.
[Chorus: Teddy Swims]
The chorus reinforces the theme of finality, portraying a romantic moment as a metaphorical last breath. The reference to a “little black dress” at the protagonist's funeral suggests a blend of romance and death, highlighting the intensity of the relationship and its potential to be both exhilarating and destructive.
[Verse 1: Teddy Swims]
This verse explores the duality of the partner, who is perceived as both a source of pleasure and potential harm. The protagonist grapples with the confusion of whether the partner is a positive or negative influence, reflecting on how their physical intimacy blurs the lines between pain and pleasure. The reference to amnesia indicates a temporary escape from reality during their time together.
[Verse 2: Teddy Swims]
Here, the protagonist expresses a longing for unconditional love and acceptance, asking to be embraced until morning and to avoid any delays at “Heaven’s gate.” This verse illustrates the desire for a lasting connection and a plea to bypass conventional judgments or delays in the afterlife, reinforcing the theme of seeking profound intimacy despite the potential for heartbreak.
[Outro: Teddy Swims]
The outro, with its repeated mention of "funeral," reiterates the thematic blend of romance and death. The repetition of the word emphasizes the song's central motif and the lingering impact of the relationship on the protagonist's emotional state.
