Crowning Of A Heart Lyrics

Crowning of a heart, textures and shades
A bitter London night on the motorway
You looked so divine, back in the seat
Wicked desires ablaze in me
Back inside the house, into the room
Watching as the lights slowly fade from view
Couldn’t even talk, what could you say?
Every thought just racing away.
Crowning of a heart, textures and shades
Crescents in her eyes as we gaze away.

its about taking a girl out for the night then he takes her back to his room and hes speechless and its obvious theyre describing love and i guess they look at the moon cuz "crescents in her eyes as we gaze away" or maybe that has a sexual meaning? good song long LONG LIVE TRAIL OF DEAD AND THE INDIE SCENE

Quote from Daytrotter about this song: "I always thought this song spoke for itself. It’s about a romantic cab ride with someone, in London, ending up at her place.

This song is actually based around Elena Milagro de Hoyos, who's dead corpse was stolen and kept by German radiologist Carl Tanzler in the 1930s. That's why this EP is called "The Secret of Elena's Tomb" and the artwork depicts Elena and Tanzler (on the back). In that case, this song might be about Carl driving the dead, catatonic body around (which he had stuffed full of preservatives, wax and plaster). But since the song mentions London, maybe Conrad is using this scenario as a metaphor for a night out he had.

Still...one of my favorite Trail of Dead songs!
