Cities of Night

One possible interpretation.

"I've seen what you have made in all it's beauty. What I cannot create I recognize."

• Is like the protagonist -davey as narrator- describing the feelings that 'love' bring to a person. He can't solely create them for himself but he knows them, and he see's that the other person makes him feel beautiful and good.

"Let's watch the night explode, just hold onto me. I'll whisper you this truth uncompromised."

• A romantic setting, the perfect love, self-realisation of 'uncompromised truth' ( I love you)

"Wait for a heart that never lies, but not this time. Watch those explosions in the sky and you'll go blind, but not this time." -I agree with the analogy as love as blinding fireworks. This part is the self-doubt setting in and saying 'do I really love them or am I just blinded by the thrill and haze that passion brings?'

"Will you live in hope or dark desire? What can I say? Fuck love give me fire."

• questioning yourself in your mind, then as if saving yourself the pain of love just deciding 'well fuck it then, i'll just screw about'

"Have you seen what I've made beneath the wreckage? Just suffer through the dust and there you'll find the color of a night that burned out from us. Surrounded by it's glow our city lies." -The "wreckage" could describe the mental confusion and mess, and what he has "made" is a person who is cynical of love and ruled by feelings of doubt and self-depreciation. the reference to the dust could be the after-effects of the incident that caused the wreckage, a reference to a car-crash i'd say. The colour of the night and the glow of the city line i'm unsure about. But if I had to guess i'd say it was about the city as the sanctuary of his one time happiness and emotions.

"Wait for a love that never dies and you've lost life. One overdoes just to survive. We'll shine this time. We'll make headlines. " The first line is self-explanitory. If you wait too long for a endless love and one that is perfect you will waste your life and never find it. You will miss the oppertunity for a realistic love. An overdose to survive is like saying you need to kill off certain parts of yourself to function once again and live in this life, rather than be marred by depression and low self-esteem. Then it's as if the cycle starts again with "we'll shine this time..." and as though he is determined to repeat the process above but instead of following the path of dark desire, he will follow the path of hope.

I realise i'm probably very wrong but as I said, just one perspective of the song, which I think is the best of Cexcells.

I also recomment listening to "Movie" by The Birthday Massacre which has similar sentiments towards love.
