| Beirut – My Night With the Prostitute from Marseille Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Great interpretation. "We believed her then" I think it implies something of a profound loneliness in which one becomes very aware and converses with the "self". The 'we' is rhetorical. There is this void within one's self that echoes only one's thoughts. The very depths of despair. And he sought a prostitute believing it would cure what ails him. "and now outside you see the waves in her eyes" She is what he had hoped she was and he is reminded of her "and now outside, I see your eyes meet the sky" And he is filled with hope "and I, I won't lie, I kept you here tonight" He acknowledges his actions . It's a deeply beautiful song. |
