| It's about heroin-the comfort it provides as well as the pitfalls of addiction and overdose. | |

| Darkest lyrics of any pop song I've heard. | |
| Cold Cave – Life Magazine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I definitely agree that this song is in part about trying to reach out to people and being unable to, but I also think the line "I climb clouds/To the bluest of the sky/And all i saw was air" might be about the non-existence of god. | |
| Zola Jesus – Night Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I always thought of it as a song about two people having a sexual encounter on one night-and while this encounter may lead to a relationship, the song focuses on that one night, to the exclusion of all else. A single distilled moment-it could lead to nothing, or they could stay together forever. But what matters right now is the single night. | |

hey, givin what for. Every source ever says it's not addict. And while some versions say "pretense", some versions say valium. I used that lyric because I feel it shows more about the meaning. You were right about the get into/get out of part. My bad there. In conclusion, stop inflating your ego and focus on not being such a dick to everyone. |

Here's my guess. I'll be doing it line-by-line, sorry if thats annoying. "Burning crosses on a nigger's lawn burning dollars what's a house without a home? dance in your white sheet glory dance in your passion" I think here he's comparing the kkk and typical suburban american culture, in the second line (as ive distributed the lines), in an odd deviation from the normal religious subject matter, he critisizes our consumerism. "talk about sugar on the six fingered beast conversation about the holes in your hands walk through the garden of men's desires conversation about the kingdom of fire" These are the values preached by christianity to children- pleasure is evil, you are of god, and while you see pleasure around you, remind yourself of hell so you can ignore it. "What's that moving in the basement? What's that moving in the attic Who's that walking in the shadow Who's that walking in the streets" And now the protagonist of the song starts to doubt his upbringing. He feels stirrings in both his loins and his mind, and finds himself walking the streets with the other punk trash and almost unable to believe his own actions because of his upbringing. "(chorus) Kiss on my hand After dark Kiss on my hand After dark Kiss on my hand" In the scummy shadows our protagonist finds affection and love "Romance in sequence Harmful to the blind Burning hearts through the top of your skull" Romance in sequence=promiscuity, which is frowned on by the "blind" (ignorant). The next part is just an expression of the strength of the strength of love. "Dance in your white sheet glory Dance in your passion your days are numbered with valium in your pocket your days are numbered with l,love in your eyes Love?" The spectre of the protagonists christian upbringing returns, but it's days are numbered. The protagonist now has a valium in his pocket to deal with heroin or alcohol withdrawl and love in his eyes. Although with the protagonists new dangerous lifestyle, his days are numbered too. "Pull down the Sheets Take off your clothes Get into bed I'm so tired" And finnally the spectre of christian upbringing is gone. Let the sex begin. Of course, this whole thing came from an attempt to render a meaning for EVERY SINGLE LINE. And i honestly doubt every line has one. Consider this a fun little attempt to find a clear meaning for a very mysterious song. But so, in summary, my guess is it's about rejecting your chritian values to live a life of drugs, and most of all, sex. But not loveless rutting. This song is about the victory of real genuine love over the christian conditioning the protagonist has which holds it back and makes him feel filthy about it. |
