| Phosphorescent – The Quotidian Beasts Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think the beast, the she he is referring to, is the fall of a relationship. "Yeah I knew she’d been coming and she had got here at last" He knew the relationship wouldn't last "Well I started to scold her aw she just started to laugh" The couple probably fights a lot, and it is an immediate defense mechanism. However, fighting isn't going to work anymore, the relationship is still doomed. "Yeah the beast came upon me, I guess it wasn’t so bad" Maybe ending the relationship isn't so bad, and though it hurts he knows it is what is best. "I said It’s you took your claws you slipped em under my skin" The two of them had fallen in love, making the breakup even more difficult. She became a part of him, the two of them had become one. When the relationship fell apart it hit him on the inside. That's why he sings "There’s parts that got outside, honey I want to put em back in", he has lost a part of himself by losing her. He wants her back. "Her ancient eyes were upon me they were familiar and black" They were familiar, he has been through a tough breakup before. They were black, because going through it is cold and leaves you in a dark place. |
