| Sleigh Bells – You Lost Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |

“You Lost Me.” There were a lot of classic references that went into this song. It’s safe to say I was listening to a lot of Van Halen. I’m a massive Def Leppard fan. Hysteria is easily one of my favorite records of all time. Lyrically, this is one of the few songs I’ve ever written that actually has a real narrative. It’s not about any two people specifically, but it’s about a double suicide. A young couple who ended up committing suicide behind a Circle K. Imagine a couple in Florida, but maybe even the Midwest, and you’re the only two people in your school that listen to Metallica in 1985. You sort of bond over that, and that you have nothing in common with anybody else. It’s a youthful ignorance, a very romantic notion. It just ended up happening. Alexis and I started talking about it, and stumbled on this story. It felt like this was what the song was about.
