Razorblade Lyrics

Oh, the razorblade, that's what I call love
I bet you'd pick it up and mess around with it if I put it down
It gets extremely complicated
Anything to forget everything
You've got to take me out at least once a week
Whether I'm in your arms or I'm at your feet
I know exactly what you're thinking
You won't say it now, but in your heart it's loud

Oh no
My feelings are more important than yours
Oh
Drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry
There you go

Oh, the razor blade, wish it would snap this rope
The world is in your hand or it's at your throat
At times it's not that complicated
Anything to forget everything
He would never talk but he was not shy
She was a street-smart girl but she could not lie
They were perfect for each other
Say it now 'cause in your heart it's loud

Oh no
My feelings are more important than yours
Oh
Drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry
Hey

Sweetheart
Your feelings are more important, of course
Of course
Everyone that wanted everything that we would take from them
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
No, don't
Okay

What is the Meaning of Razorblade?

I don't think this is what the song is intended to be about, but as soon as I saw the title, my brain immediately jumped to self harm. "Razor blade, that's what I call love" Kinda shows how you feel like hurting yourself is a solution, like it's better than love almost. "I bet you pick it up and mess around with it" Often how I start self harming is picking up a "harmless" object, messing around with it for a while, then next thing I know I've scratched up my whole body. Oops. "If I put it down it gets extremely complicated" It's hard to stop once you start. "Anything to forget everything" Do I even have to explain this line?
