There's only one way for you to get by,
Hard liquor and no will to die,
Smoked buds and a starry night,
Cracked skulls and gelignite,
Revenge and a brutal fight.

But there's only one way for me to get by.
The sound of your chuckle,
The sound of your sigh.

This simply talks about how somebody wants so much in life, yet they don't realize someone else only wants them, and just that.
