Theme[]
This song appears to be a metaphorical exploration of a person's relationship with their romantic partner. The lyrics describe the speaker's vulnerability and dependence on their partner, who is depicted as a doctor or caregiver. The speaker appears to be willing to undergo any physical or emotional transformation in order to please their partner and maintain the relationship. The lyrics suggest a sense of powerlessness and surrender to the partner's control.
Lyrics[]
[Verse]
You can scan my head
I'll be waiting for you in the hospital bed
Take an MRI
Revive my heart, am I really alive?
My life is a screen
I've fallen so much, you've become my Band-Aid
You can dissect me
Please don't sedate, can I be awake?
[Chorus]
I'll be your patient, baby
Do whatever you want with me
I need a facelift, maybe
You could put your pills in me
[Verse]
You can scan my head
I'll be waiting for you in the hospital bed
Take an MRI
Revive my heart, am I really alive?
My life is a screen
I've fallen so much, you've become my Band-Aid
You can dissect me
Please don't sedate, can I be awake?
[Chorus]
I'll be your patient, baby
Do whatever you want with me
I need a facelift, maybe
You could put your pills in me
