Bauhaus – Burning From The Inside Lyrics 14 years ago
I truly think this is similar to "a dream in general" or possibly even one of the band members. The imagery is very scattered like a dream and the song in itself is without conclusion and has gaps like a dream does.

Running, without aim
through the razor reeds (I'm still convinced to this day that he says "reeds not weeds."
that only reach my knees.

VERY DREAM LIKE

and when I'm lying in the great sleep (dreaming)
I dont know how to walk the boards

SOMETIMES WE CAN FUNCTION PHYSCIALLY IN A DREAM

I open my eyes and look at the floor,
and now I don't see you anymore

IN A DREAM, SOMEONE IS THERE TIL WE OPEN OUR EYES
IN A STARTLE, ONLY TO SEE NO ONE OR NOTHING THAT WAS JUST THERE

There is no choice.
We make the point to counteract a threatening hand (INSTINCT. DEFENSE)

close my hold. lets be near
lets be near the atmosphere (OPEN YOUR EYES, IN OTHER WORDS)
LETS BE NEAR THE ATMOSPHERE -- REALITY, WHATS IN FRONT OF YOU


Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems very dream-like to me. Burning from the inside.
A dream, inner fire, insanity maybe. Nightmare.

Peter Murphy – All Night Long Lyrics 14 years ago
Hey there. This is my first post. Peter is the best. He touches me like no other. His lyrics are truly profound on so many levels, but with this song it's the basic "together we can do anything" concept. I feel (in my opinion of course) that this song is an expression of loyalty and faith.

The speaker is basically stating that despite tough times, together, we'll make it through. The other person in the song is down, his/her eyes running wild throughout nights that are woven and repetitive. He is saying that he hears him/her all night long, every night, and if she/he just hold his hand, together they'll make it through no matter what. The season is coming. All the nights, we'll make it through.

On a personal note, this is a song that truly captured my heart throughout my own touch times and will always be one of my favorites. Especially the "Just For Love" version. He is magic. He draws tears, both sorrow and hope, tears of joy ultimately.

Oh, and if you haven't seen him live, go go go! Magic!
