Lyrics and their meaning:

Angel, with the gun in your hand
Pointin' my direction
Givin' me affection
Love is fatal
Won't you give it a chance?
Center of attention
Don't you ask me any questions

This verse is similar to the first interactions with a partner. Givin' me affection can show that they're giving them the affection of a crush or wanting something more with them. Love is fatal can show that you need it, and the protagonist's partner is almost playing off of it and wedging themselves into their life because they need love. Center of attention can show how you focus on one person and one person only, no cheating!

Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be something you regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down
This prechorus is basically saying, 'hey, lets give it a shot and not worry about the future.' Then the protagonist gets into a relationship. 

I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and calling it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
The protagonist is trying to have their relationship, but all of these modern society problems are getting in their way. The main lines this refers to are line 1 (I only light up when camera's are flashing), 2 (Never enough and {I'm pretty sure it's ' got' instead of 'and'} no satisfaction), 5 (Diggin' my grave to get a reaction) and 6 (Changin my face and calling it fashion). These show the struggles of modern society and probably how hard it is to hold a steady relationship with these problems. 

Lay me in the palm of your hand
I'll give you my permission
You'll always be forgiven
Go on, replace me
When you're craving something sweeter than the words I left in your mouth
Go on and spit me out

The first part of this verse gives me a 'mold me anyway you want' sort of vibe. Like they're just letting their partner do whatever they want with them. The second part is moving on. Especially saying, when you're craving something sweeter than the words I left in your mouth. That can be really controversial, like the protagonist is literally saying, 'just go fuck another person'. 

Favourite Lyric: Changin my face and calling it fashion

Yay or nay: YAY (if you do not agree with me I will fight you!)

What it reminds me of: Honestly, this song depicts the society of 2020 and how modern society can affect your relationship. Nevertheless, there's also the side where it can be taken as a diss to society and saying that we have no shame in doing these things.
