Jezabels, The - Hurt Me Lyrics






Oh my love is that a vulture?
Don’t tell me it’s a vulture
Standing beside you

Do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do?

I used to be that, when you said you believed it,
I would believe it too.
It used to be that, when you said you were leaving,
I’d want to follow you,
But never where the dogs bark

And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back,
When you’re able

Now I’ve a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me,
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me?

And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark,
When the shadow of the moon won’t do,
Because on you, the moon is but a pearl,
Stolen from your mother’s bedside,
The day you came into the world.

And still now I can hear the dogs bark.
And I remember praying at the dinner table,
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back
When you’re able

Whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting,
Laying on the dinner table,
Waiting for you to hurt me

Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me.
Come on, Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me (‘round the table).

And now it’s laying on the table, waiting for you on the table
To carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed,
And sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
And that’s the body; I swear that’s the body
I remember, was laying on the dinner table
When you came around, said, “You’ll be doing fine when you’re able.”

Oh whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.

Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me,
Cut me, cut me, serve me.

    A crazy, mad tune that I sadly only recently came across. So engrossed in their albums I ignored their E.P.'s

    sebastian arango ☹️💔

  38. v.... n....

    J'adore this song! J'adore The Jezabels <3

  39. J.... L....

    I would like this a million times more with different production and a less arhythmic drummer.  At it's core, it is a great song with good vocals and emotional lyrics, but it is suffers from tragic indie production and mastering.  (at least turn down those drums tracks, if you can't have him play *with* the rest of the song)

    J.... L....

    Are you kidding me? That's what gives the song it's edge.

    J.... L....

    @Archie Ward Agreed. The drums are probably the least problematic part of this song.

    J.... L....

    +Archie Ward Haha this so much. The song overall is a masterpiece. The drums are great work.

  40. m.... ....

    so good. if you like this song, checkout "the Runaway" by Regret the Hour!

  41. O.... N....

    HIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS.. ALSO THE WORDS ARE EXTREMELY AMAZING...

  43. b.... ....

    This song is drugs. Can't stop listening

  44. j.... m....

    The live 'amazing sessions' version is incredible too

  45. A.... C....

    One of my favorites :DDDD

  46. k.... c....

    they are the best thing i have
    heard

  47. R.... C....

    Nice prelude. Resembles Dire Straits (Romeo and Juliet unpluged). Anyways. Nice prelude. Not so nice song. So Sorry!

  48. J.... ....

    yeah! same chords as the riff in death and all his friends

  49. j.... ....

    We need 36 dildos and a time machine.

  50. X.... ....

    Maybe a little I guess.

  51. K.... ....

    i'm on a fucking roll finding great songs on Youtube

  52. �.... B....

    Such a good track

  53. A.... ....

    Jejejeje se :3

  54. G.... ....

  55. M.... S....

    , llv v. , l

  56. K.... F....

    good song!!

  57. z.... ....

    haven't heard this in ages, forgotten how good it is

    Juana martinez <3

  59. C.... M....

    Me encanta esta Canción
    saludos desde República Dominicana.

  60. e.... ....

    this song makes me cry like a baby

  61. g.... h....

    My daughter always plays this song n its grown on me over time. .great tune. .

  62. N.... A....

    Love this song! !!! There a great band

  63. R.... ....

    She's not masochistic. The person she's singing about is using her as an excuse for something (you don't find out what) and she keeps remembering a time when that person would come home and pat her on the back - a happier time. Now that person comes home and hurts her instead. Not physically, emotionally. The person they have become is hurting her.

  64. N.... I....

    this is first teleportation machine

  65. T.... C....

    The Jez are freakn magic!!

  66. S.... K....

    I love this song! Great Band!!!

  67. C.... S....

    i hate this so much

  68. b.... ....

    Hey! :) For thoose who wants music in the same style check out my playlist "Amazing songs" hope it helps! :)

  69. B.... C....

    Need more tunes from this band, they are really inventive.

    Love them. More !!!

  70. n.... ....

    sounds like Yeah Yeah Yeahs! but this is soooo good! <3 :)

  71. e.... ....

    thanks i thought it was pretty funny at the time but im very immature sometimes lol

  72. J.... ....

    love your name

  73. j.... ....

    her voice is very striking with a good beat it really works.

  74. Y.... ....

    so I have to thumb this up if I share the same opinion? is that how this works?

  75. a.... ....

    get out of this corner of youtube

  76. A.... V....

    This is a damn good song :)

  77. e.... ....

    couldnt explain it better myself it is amazing

  78. e.... g....

    one DIrection!

  79. K.... F....

    i love music that does that. it makes me feel that there is a sound-wave that matches certain emotions and calls them to life.

  80. e.... ....

    this song makes me feel something i cant even explain i cant stop crying my eyes out when i hear it

  81. P.... B....

    ARE YOU GOING TO SKIN ME?

  82. M.... H....

    Yes I can!!

  83. D.... C....

    similar yes, but this has much more intense a beat and faster drums, blind coldplay fans can't realize that

  84. O.... ....

    lol but you commented on it?

  85. c.... ....

    yea it is similar except the jezabels drums are way superior and not the standard 12 barr riff on the piano the lyrics are( to me )more profound the keyboards and vocals are also superior in my opinion ..but there is a similarity in the hook in the middle 8 well spotted ...thats music for you tho ..one influences another .. called evolution i think..its hard to avoid sounding like someone else and still get airplay or listeners at all

  86. J.... M....

    this song is full of inspiration and emotions...

  87. L.... A....

    I think Grizzly Bear ripped this chord progression for their new single "Yet Again"

  88. k.... j....

    i fell in love wit dis song

  89. S.... C....

    0:00 to 5:47*

  90. N.... ....

    When I saw the thumbnail I thought the rose was that womans mouth, LOOL! :D

  91. O.... ....

    noone cares about your opinion, the whole song is great!

  92. G.... ....

    0:00 to 1:00 awesome!

  93. C.... S....
