Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light
Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine
When does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine
When it does that thing
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, so bright
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
The silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
[fade out]
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light
Ah shine so bright, shine
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl
Shine, shine, shine, shine
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Shine, shine
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light
Shine, shine, so bright
The silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
[fade out]
Best song on the album
I think this is about the hedonistic lifestyle of a sexed-up rockstar.
Specifically, it's about yet another one night stand with a mostly antonymous girl and having a mixture of pleasure and emptiness.
"Gimme, gimme, reasons for the things I do" "Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you"
"Gimme reasons" = slight regrets/emptiness "Silhouette" = sexy and anonymous; lit up by the morning sun.
But, at least he pays attention to her needs.
"Throw away my world" "If I could see that pearl"
"pearl" = clitoris
