| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Hold On to Yourself Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
It's about a man who is away from his woman, and when she is alone she's masturbating. "She rubs a lamp between her thighs And hopes the genie comes out singing" She loses track of the world around her as she is pleasuring herself, then she comes: "Well, cities rust and fall to ruin Factories close and cars go cruising In and around the borders of her vision She says oh woah woah woah As Jesus makes the flowers grow All around the scene of her collision" I don't know why the man is far away, but it isn't because he wants to. He feels doomed by circumstaces out of hes control and he is frustrated. He thinks the reasons he gives to his woman are only excuses, and he wants to go back home. |
