Laser Beam Lyrics
I don't need a laser beam
I don't need the time
Leave me in the car tonight
Rest your drunken mind
I need your grace alone
Lesser things are on your mind
Don't you think I know?
Will this poison scar my eyes?
Mother, close the door
I need your grace alone
I don't need a laser beam
I don't need a laser beam
I don't need the time
Leave me in the car tonight
Rest your drunken mind
Don't you think I know?
Will this poison scar my eyes?
Mother, close the door
I don't need a laser beam

Mimi discussed that this song is about her family situation living with an alcoholic parent.
It's hard to determine who this is about, but i get the impression that at any rate it's about having someone there that you can depend on, on their strength alone.
Such a gorgeous, spare, honest song.
Adem makes a pretty good cover of this song, too.
to me, this song is about being in a codependent relationship. the singer is emotionally addicted to someone who is a self-obsessed alcoholic, who nonetheless, needs the singer to manage the big things in their life ("lesser things are on your mind"). it's the sad loneliness of needing someone who dismisses your existence, but who would die (literally, from any number of alcohol related things) without you, and so you feel trapped yet vital at the same time.
