This track is a heartfelt plea from someone deeply entangled in a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics suggest a person who feels emotionally drained and desperate, clinging onto a love that may no longer be reciprocated. The metaphor of the 'grenade' signifies the explosive potential of truth in this fragile situation - it could destroy everything. But, paradoxically, the protagonist would rather live in denial than face the harsh reality of unrequited love. This sentiment is powerfully conveyed through lines like "If you don't love me, lie to my face." The song beautifully encapsulates the fear of loneliness and the struggle to let go of something even when it's causing pain.
Pin the Grenade
Lyrics
Back down, I feel that you're leaving me
Right now, it feels like you're bleeding me dry
Slow down, you took away a piece of me
I don't wanna let go, don't wanna let go
Drove home, I'm running out of oxygen
Tightrope, tonight it's like I'm walking on air
Black smoke, coming from the underground
I don't wanna let go, don't wanna let
Hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Hey, wait, get out of my brain
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Just another night before I'm lost and all alone
If you're gonna kill me, baby, please just do it slow
So hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
If you don't love me, lie to my face
My god, how could you talk to me like that?
Let's stop, you changed your mind and called a ride home
You dropped a hint that I embarrass you
I don't wanna let go, don't wanna let go
Midnight, I'm underneath the landslide
Fast life, I leave you on the side of the road
You cried, "This isn't what you promised me"
I don't wanna let go, don't wanna let
Hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Hey, wait, get out of my brain
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Just another night before I'm lost and all alone
If you're gonna kill me, baby, please just do it slow
So hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
(Lie to my face)
Just another night before I'm lost and all alone
If you're gonna kill me, baby, please just do it slow
Just another night before I'm lost and all alone
If you're gonna kill me, baby, please just do it slow
Hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Hey, wait, get out of my brain
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Just another night before I'm lost and all alone
If you're gonna kill me, baby, please just do it slow
So hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
If you don't love me, lie to my face
If you don't love me, lie to my face
Hey, wait, pin the grenade
If you don't love me, lie to my face
