Into the Blinding Light Lyrics
we stare into the blinding light
to see what's between us
It's red and it's white
like lies, like lipstick on last-look good-byes the substance assimilating to watch the bodies burst into a string
of lights when there's nothing left the party crashes and the rings come out from all the jacket pockets into the blinding light
the fire is dying out
and there's nothing left to burn except for ourselves the cinema speaks as you take off your clothes and burst
in dissimilation, just let your body burst into a streak of light when there's nothing left, the wedding crashes
and the rings fall off, roll out the bedroom window into the blinding light
please someone help me--take away my loneliness please someone fill me--take away my emptiness please someone touch me--take away my longing and please someone, please someone, please someone show me the light...
and the rings fall out like a silver snowball into the blinding light.
just make your body burst into single line when there's nothing left the heart rate crashes and the rings fall
out as we turn each other into the blinding light
white night coming down
silent armies all around
deep sleep covering
enemies in clean white sheets
(the sky went off-white, it snowed for fourteen years the sunlight splintered into all our darkest fears)
to see what's between us
It's red and it's white
like lies, like lipstick on last-look good-byes the substance assimilating to watch the bodies burst into a string
of lights when there's nothing left the party crashes and the rings come out from all the jacket pockets into the blinding light
and there's nothing left to burn except for ourselves the cinema speaks as you take off your clothes and burst
in dissimilation, just let your body burst into a streak of light when there's nothing left, the wedding crashes
and the rings fall off, roll out the bedroom window into the blinding light
out as we turn each other into the blinding light
silent armies all around
deep sleep covering
enemies in clean white sheets

This song is incredible I especially love when they scream Light at one point and the ending is just so choatic. One of the best on the album
The ending of this song is so amazing.
Freakin amazing song. It almost sounds like the world is ending
take away my longing and please someone, please someone, please someone show me the light...
does anyone know what the line is between here and 'please someone kill me, tear me up and throw me away"
Is the "sky went off white..." part actually screamed at the end? Because I can't seem to hear it all.
no its not. the "white night" part and the "please someone help me" are screamed/wispered over top of each other
YES actually it is screamed right at 3:32. i would suggest new speakers if you cant hear it ;)
~Another great song on thier new album....the whole album is good from start to Finish
Awesome live song. I've seen them play it live twice...so much energy...it's one of those songs that Geoff just REALLY pours his heart out into, more than any other.
So good.
What do you think this song is about?
Personally, I think this is one of their most difficult lyrics to decipher. But after re-reading the lyrics several times, I've come up with an explanation:
Maybe this song is about adultery and temptation. About marital loyalty (the rings come out of all the jacket pockets) (the wedding crashes and the rings fall off, roll out the bedroom window)
"Like lies, like lipstick on last-look good-byes" adulterous affairs are often discovered by lipstick on collars and of course there's always a lot of lying and hiding involved
"Just make your body burst into single line when there's nothing left the heart rate crashes and the rings fall out as we turn each other into the blinding light"
Again wedding rings fall out and when your marriage is ruined, there's nothing left but adrenaline rushes with another lover.
White night coming down Silent armies all around Deep sleep covering Enemies in clean white sheets" >
I see a couple sleeping after sex, the night is still white from the blinding light they have engaged in (blinding light as a metaphore for the bliss and oblivion which unfaithful sex gives them) and the silent armies = all the people who would disapprove.
"(the sky went off-white, it snowed for fourteen years the sunlight splintered into all our darkest fears)"
after discovery by the husband/wife, the relationship turns cold for a long time and the blinding light that the adulterous spouse has created, makes all fears come true.
maybe it's too far-fetched, but in my opinion it makes sense:)
