That's a good guess. I was thinking "Left the lights on . . . " because it makes more sense lyrically, but there doesn't seem to be enough of a pause.
My only hesitation is that the whole song is very lyrically tight, and all of these metaphors are flabby. I have no idea.
But a great song. |

This was a tough, rewarding song to transcribe. Context and theme determined almost all of the ambiguity, but there's still one uncertain point.
Any ideas on the bracketed bit? |

Christgau snubbed "Desperate Youths" for having inchoate, juvenile lyrics about love. (I personally don't think that's a justifiable reason to overlook the album, but whatever.) Whatever your opinion, TV on the Radio hasn't really had a complex love song till this one, but they've certainly made up for it.
"Freeze your golden hour" is a brilliant lyric--as the "Golden Hour" refers to both the first and last hour of sunlight in the day, and the hour in which life can be preserved after catastrophic injury. Damn good metaphor for love! |
