| La Roux – Tigerlily Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about stalking, specifically unrequited love. The interesting part is that the lyrics grow more ominous as the song progresses: I'll take your apathy I wouldn't lie to you Blossom Won't you let it go I'm gonna give you all you want It almost looks like a plea for "Tigerlily" to love this person, as they have so much to offer. "Let it go" implies that Tigerlily has rejected their love, and thus comes the chorus: I know you better than this Psychobabble all upon your lips <... even though you deny it> The love continues to get turned down, and it gets even more obsessive / threatening: I don't like the taste Of their morality You'll find your bread and your butter Where you fake it And put your face in the gutter Of a snake pit When Tigerlily continues to turn the person down, the person makes even more insistent statements: But our communication Is telepathy And we can wait til the shadow grows long And it finally reaches the point of obsession / creepiness: And if they can't have you They'll never let you walk away It's definitely an interesting song. |
