La Salle de Bain Lyrics
in a cafe just a little down the stairs
from a city shop selling cameras and things
i smelled your lighter oil mixed with coffee and cream
an odor still lingered from the lines you gave me
you said it did not you? "just do it kill me"
today is a day that in particular
i seem to be smiling and laughing quite a lot
i just had a dream and in it you had died
and i had no choice then but to love you
do not think to abandon or ever leave me
so wash me cut me i am underwater
my lungs and breathing are quite affected
please watch me closely and do check to see
i dry out completely i dry through and through
come shine me tear me i am underwater
relying completely on zero gravity
and when i do melt down entirely immediately
bon appetit
it was you who was dying there right in front of me
and i could not stop the tears i could not hold them in
all of the little things of this little world
are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them
oh do not make me have those kind of dreams again
a scent so sweet that it got me dirty
the troops to protect me were out on patrol
please watch me closely and do check to see
i dry out completely i dry through and through
a lie so big that it got me dirty
as soon as i said it a wound opened up
and when i do melt down entirely immediately
bon appetit
you said it did not you? "just do it kill me"
so wash me cut me i am underwater
my lungs and breathing are quite affected
please watch me closely and do check to see
i dry out completely i dry through and through
come shine me tear me i am underwater
relying completely on zero gravity
and when i do melt down entirely immediately
bon appetit
i am not afraid of a little boredom
why did the two of them ever chance to meet?

I feel like this has a lot to do with loving someone, and how that relates to the vastness of the rest of the world.
She says that meeting this person was complete happenstance, and the feeling to them was so powerful they said, "Just do it, kill me." And to her, she valued the world and everything around her so much, and she still does ("all of the little things of this little world/are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them"), but now she has to deal with the incredible attraction she has to this person. Yet, she's still willing to bear all of herself to them, and become completely vulnerable (the wash me/cut me verses). It's a very deep, all-consuming ("i'm underwater"), spiritual sort of love that's happening.
She acknowledges all of this, but even still, at the end of the song, I feel like the love she felt frightened her. She tells the world, "I'm not afraid of a little boredom. I didn't need to meet this person."
I get chills every time I hear this song.
I'd really like to know what you guys think of this song.
"all of the little things of this little world are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them" seems to sum it up best, to me.
