Blue and red horses on the run I think the angel is jumping the gun Little red lantern watching the sun Baby, the angel is jumping the gun I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? Little red flower on your wrist Baby, the angel fired and missed Little red flower on your wrist Maybe the angel fired and missed I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? Little red forest in your room I hope the angel is getting here soon Little red forest in your room I hope the angel is getting here soon I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? Little red flower on your wrist Maybe the angel fired and missed Blue and red horses on the run I think the angel is jumping the gun I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? I'm a lot of boy with a lot of nerve Do you want to toy with me? With me With me With me
I think of 'blue and red horses on the run' as someone splitting their veins open, the red forest as the blood gushing. The angels could be a mix of perspectives.
I had a weird theory it was about unrequited love haha. Cupid is usually represented as an angel, and Adrienne writes about how she wants cupid to shoot an arrow to the person she's interested in. I think of the red things she references in the song as memories/actions/objects that represent expressions of love that person she's interested in has shared with her and made her think they might have mutual feelings before realizing that's not the case. Maybe the blue things are the opposite? As in things that other person has done that made her think they dislike her. This might be hard to read hahaha, I'm terrible at explaining myself and English is not my first language. But I hope u have a nice day :)
I thought of blue and red horses like flashing lights from a police car or ambulance and red forests/red flowers as blood. someone maybe attempting suicide by slitting their wrists and then the police coming. the angel could be god I guess or the person committing suicide, im not really sure about that part.
