| Interpol – Lights Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
all that i see show me your ways teach me to meet my desires with some grace all that i fear don't turn away and leave me to plead in this hole of a place cause what if i never break? estuary won't you take me far away far away all that i seek please police me i want you to police me but keep it clean long have you been my day* now let's take them away* strong as you seem old as you behave (that's why i hold you) you will always obey all that i feel capital ways teach me to grieve and conspire with my age all that i conceal a domestic spree a seething routine i could never navigate and maybe i like to stray i know how it seemed* that we'd left so clean* not today it's like you want it that way all that i see is peaceful eyes drawn away from me we'd like to take the sights and breed silence in disguise we'd like to meet the buyer that is on your life that is why i hold you dear *not 100% sure about these lines, but the posted ones are very off. song sounds like it's written about fear of commitment. being a monogamous rockstar can't be easy. -jesse |

| i got the same meaning possibly. either that or the morning after pill. clearly the condom failed or was taken off, and he feels as if their repeated safe sex was tempting the forces of creation (don't know how to say that without sounding schizotypal. see his lyrics for "those to come"). referring to birth control as preventing an emulsion of yin and yang (sperm and ova) from reforming into a whole. very pretty lyrics. | |
