Gethsemane Lyrics
[Intro]
I wanted you to know, I’ve learned to live without it
And even though it’s colder now, I no longer feel surrounded
And you never listened to me and that’s the thing I tell the others
You were my harlequin bride, I was your undercover lover, but no
You never saw me naked, you wouldn’t even touch me
Except if you were wasted
But you were trying your best and that’s the thing I tell the others
I was your robot companion, you were my favourite colour and, oh
[Verse]
I’m caught up on the person I tried to turn myself into for you
Someone who didn’t mind the push-pull parlour games
Someone who wasn’t always crying on the journey back
Someone who didn’t feel the low blows either way
Thought I was waiting for you, when all along
It was you with the countdown kill switch
And it was me with the blindfold on
[Pre-Chorus]
I was trying my best and that’s the thing I tell the mirror
I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other
[Chorus]
What might be good for your heart
Might not be good for my head
And what was there at the start
Might not be there in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Do you wanna hurt me?
Do you wanna hurt me?
‘Cause nobody hurts me better
Do you wanna hurt me?
Do you wanna hurt me?
‘Cause nobody hurts me better
[Bridge]
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
Used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
Used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
Used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don’t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
Used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don’t wanna stick around
[Outro]
No one’s gonna save me from my memories
Nothing to lose, but I would’ve given anything
To get closer to you and all your enemies
I’ve got a few of my own and this
And this throne didn’t come with a gun, so I got a different energy
I still see you when the lights get low
I still hear you when I’m on my own
The parasites and the nightmares call out my name like, “Please just let me go”
This one’s for you and your problems, your good day job
Your bad karma, what are you afraid of?
The same trauma, show me what you’re made of
‘Cause you talk about your constant pain like I ain’t got none
I’ve learned to live beside it and even though it’s over now
I will always be reminded (Reminded, reminded, reminded)

Gethsemane Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
This part feels like someone looking back on a relationship that left them feeling pretty empty, but also like they’ve started healing. They’re telling the other person they’ve learned to live without the love they used to crave. Even though life feels colder and lonelier, they don’t feel emotionally trapped anymore. It’s clear the connection wasn’t mutual—one person gave more, while the other barely paid attention. There was physical distance too, only touched when the other person was drunk, which made things feel even more disconnected. Still, the speaker tries to make peace by telling others that maybe their partner was trying their best. They describe themselves as a kind of emotionless support system, while still seeing their partner as something beautiful they couldn’t quite reach. There’s a bittersweet tone—like they’re trying to accept it for what it was, but there’s still some pain buried under that calm surface.
[Verse]
Here, the speaker reflects on how much they changed themselves to try and be enough for the other person. They became someone who accepted mind games, kept emotions hidden, and didn’t react to emotional blows. They thought they were waiting for love to work out, but in truth, it was the other person who had already decided to end it—they just didn’t see it coming. They were blinded by hope while the other was already pulling away.
[Pre-Chorus]
This is where the speaker admits they were giving it everything, even if they now tell themselves that just to feel better. They realize they were more in love with the *idea* of being in love than the real relationship itself.
[Chorus]
This line talks about how what’s emotionally good for one person might mess with someone else’s mental health. Just because it started with love doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Feelings change, and sometimes it’s not worth holding on.
[Post-Chorus]
This section sounds like the speaker almost daring the other person to hurt them again, because they’re so used to being hurt by them that no one else could do it better. It’s a mix of anger, sarcasm, and lingering emotional dependence.
[Bridge]
The speaker compares the relationship to a dream that ended too fast, like smoke fading into the air. They used to feel like a team, but now they’ve gone their separate ways. Even though it’s over, the other person’s presence still clings to them, like ash on their clothes—unshakable reminders of what used to be. They repeat the same lines like a memory stuck on loop, showing how deeply it affected them. It’s almost like they’re trying to get closure by saying out loud that they don’t want to hang around anymore, but they also need the other person to *know* that. It’s a mix of trying to move on and still being emotionally stuck. The repetition suggests that, despite everything, part of them still wants to be understood—even as they try to leave it behind. It’s not just about letting go of the person but also about letting go of how it felt, and that’s clearly not easy.
[Outro]
In this part, the speaker admits that their painful memories still have a grip on them. Even though they’ve got nothing left to lose, they would’ve given everything just to be closer to the one they loved, even if that meant dealing with that person’s enemies and emotional baggage. They talk about holding a metaphorical “throne” but not being armed for the pain—suggesting they’ve become stronger in a different way. The person still haunts their thoughts and dreams, especially in quiet moments. They’re tormented by inner demons, voices, and trauma that won’t let them move on easily. The speaker calls out the other person for always talking about their pain, like the speaker didn’t have any of their own. Despite the end, the emotional scars are still fresh. They’ve learned to carry the pain beside them like a shadow, and even though the relationship is over, it’ll always be a part of who they are.
