| Bat for Lashes – The Haunted Man Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I couldn´t sleep last night Cause I tried to forget you In the suffocated air I resolved to let you go Twisted all our dreams Til you became the nightmare Close it off inside Or else the hurt is gonna rise I couldn´t sleep last night Cause I tried to forget you Heard the old man aand the sea Singing low And the silver fir she cried Never forget had gone and died And the babes that clung to her Had all let go (Male choir) My dear she touched my skin And oh did the skin Set a burning My dear she touched my skin Where once we kissed and ran The memory scorched the man I have to tell you dear (ask me to hold you and I...) Death has become my breathing (far away gone and I...) My dear she touched my skin (ask me to tell you I...) And oh she did, she touched my skin (holding the ghost of a man I...) Where once we kissed and ran (ask me to tell you I...) This madness haunted the man (holding the ghost of a man...) Still I´m holding out my hand Standing by my haunted man Yes, your ghosts have got me too But it´s me and you I can´t run... Still I´m holding out my hand Standing by my haunted man Yes, your ghosts have got me too But it´s me and you I can´t run... |

| Bat for Lashes – Laura Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Well, I think that "Laura" is Natasha and actually everbody of us. "When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high, you can´t cry..." It means that she can´t show her real emotions in public life. As how each of us, when we are sad, unhappy or when we have melancholic mood, we can´t just seat and cry. Sometimes we have to pretend we are happy and everything is OK. And if you saw some Bat for lashes´s interviews, you could see how she´s smiling all the time. She looks so happy and optimistic. But her song prove us, that she is sad sometimes. But she just can´t show it. And also I think, that this song is about love, which is destroying us and we know it. "You're the train that crashed my heart you're the glitter in the dark..." But we also know, that we need it, because it´s the only think, which can save us. It´s our glitter in the dark and it gives us a hope... PS: Sorry for my english :) |
