The meaning of these lyrics is spiritual. There are in part a copy of a 14th century poet called Rumi. His poem's name is No room for form: NO ROOM FOR FORM On the night when you cross the street From your shop and your house To the cemetery You'll hear me hailing you from inside The open grave, and you'll realize How we've always been together. I am the clear consciousness-core Of your being, the same in Ecstasy as in self-hating fatigue. That night, when you escape your fear of snakebite And all irritations with the ants, you'll hear My familiar voice, see the candle being lit, Smell the incense, the surprise meal fixed By the lover inside all your other lovers. This heart tumult is my signal to you igniting in the tomb. So don't fuss with the shroud And the graveyard dust. Those get ripped open and washed away In the music of our final meeting. And don't look for me in human shape, I am inside your looking. No room For form with love this strong. Beat the drum and let the poets speak. This is the day of purification for those who Are already mature and initiated into what love is. No need to wait until we die! There's more to want here than money And being famous and bites of roasted meat. Now, what shall we call this new sort of gazing house That has opened in our town where people sit Quietly and pour out their glancing Like light, like answering? Hope it helps. Cheers. |

The way I understand it: - first they meet and she is sick, joking about the fact that she needs his blood and someone else's as well although it "fucks with your honor" when he says "I knew it well", meaning he understood her, he knows what it means to keep a secret ("That secret that you know / But don't know how to tell) - second, they get involved in a relationship, and the secret becomes his as well (That secret that we know / That we don't know how to tell) - third, they started a family and the "Christmas morning creaks" may be those of a kid getting up, impatient to open up the presents There are themes such as love ("you" becomes "we"), birth ("Christmas is associated with nativity") isolation ("secret") etc... The fact that he repeats "I knew it well" throughout the song shows that he is remembering someone he felt empathy for. My two cents... |

| The Raveonettes – Aly, Walk With Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
according to an interview given by the guitarist, it's about a real girl he had a long distance relationship with: http://stereogum.com/7093/the_raveonettes_aly_walk_with/the-gum-drop/ "Aly is a girl I started writing with a long time ago and we developed this strange long-distance “relationship,” which was very powerful. I wrote the song about her ’cause I used to dream up all these scenarios about how or where we would first meet when that beautiful day would finally come. It turned out our first meeting was in New York City, just like the song." |
