I’ve always been pretty good at adapting to conflict situations and finding a middle ground to keep tension from escalating ; Brute force has never seemed to be a phazing element to my emotional state.

I can often find meaning in things that go unnoticed by others, be it music lyrics or social behavior in general.

The snow/cold/ice scenery depicted in the first verse doesn’t only apply to the weather and the streets (stage decor) but also to the people’s hearts and nature (the actors core). The gaping attribute of it serves to emphasize the emptiness and the “hole” in their heartless chests.

The term “actors”, while fitting with the theater theme (stage decor), also adds a hint of hypocrisy to the said people.

This lyric is an oxymoron, seeing how he claims to be a faithful womanizer.

The first bar brings off the loyal meaning of faithful,“ while the second plays off the religious sense. Women pray that they eventually get pregnant during the act, deluding themselves with their gold digging goals.

Additional pregnancy play on how they’re “sucking on his bottle” just like a baby does to get milk; except his bottle is a metaphor for penis.
