There's a flame that leads all souls astray
No one's safe from its tender touch of pain
Everyday it's looking for new slaves
To celebrate the beauty of the grave

We are like the living dead
Sacrificing all we have
For a frozen heart and a soul on fire
We are like the living dead
Craving for deliverance
With a frozen heart and a soul on fire

Again we're falling for disgrace
And hate will shelter us from the rain
We are enslaved by the sacred heart of shame
And gently raped by the light of day

Addicted to our divine despair
The venom of the cross we bear
The guilt will follow us to death

    ok i usually hate it when people do this but i think i can explain it better this way

    There's a flame that leads our souls astray (Sex is leading us from what really matters which is love) No one's safe from its tender touch of pain (once you realize that you are being used are hurt and there is no where to hide) And every day it's looking for new slaves (sex is a sin and its an adictive sin that many people commit every day when they arn't married that is) To celebrate the beauty of the grave (realizing that the relationship is over and you are glad)

    We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Sacrificing all we have (Giving all we own and have) For a frozen heart and a soul on fire (for in the end we get a broken heart and still feel the love) We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Craving for deliverance (hoping someone will save you from) With a frozen heart and a soul on fire (a broken heart and still being in love)

    And again we're falling for disgrace (and in the end we are loosing all respect being called a slut or a whore) And hate will shelter us from the rain (the fake love is comforting cause we are scared to be alone) We are enslaved by the sacred heart of shame (we are slaves to sex and we are ashamed but we do it anyway) And gently raped by the light of day (and when its over we are stripped of our pride)

    We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Sacrificing all we have (Giving all we own and have) For a frozen heart and a soul on fire (for in the end we get a broken heart and still feel the love) We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Craving for deliverance (hoping someone will save you from) With a frozen heart and a soul on fire (a broken heart and still being in love)

    Addicted to our divine despair (we are adicted to sex even if it ends up shitty in the end) The venom of the cross we bear (The hate we have for our partner we have to live with) The guilt will follow us to death (and we dont like to have it taht way and its gonna haunt us till death)

    We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Sacrificing all we have (Giving all we own and have) For a frozen heart and a soul on fire (for in the end we get a broken heart and still feel the love) We are like the living dead (we are walking mindless people) Craving for deliverance (hoping someone will save you from) With a frozen heart and a soul on fire (a broken heart and still being in love)

    With a soul on (with our life in) Soul on (life in) Soul on (life in) Fire (love) Soul on fire (Life in love)

    I don't know if that makes sence but to me it did while i was making it and i hope to fuck this works

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
