Passion For Publication Lyrics
it’s the calming before the storm
alcohol sits nicely in your stomach warm
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
I dance with the devil and drink with the demons
that’ll sleep with death and fell short of breath
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
just be pretty but naive
anything here is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your head
it’s the low before the high
it’s been so long, I thought you were dead
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
and I’ll be counting the days that the sun goes past
with the clouds beneath my feet(?)
just be pretty but naive
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your bed
‘cos we’ve been falling apart
built to crumble from the start
I’m a cold metal machine
and I’ll do things you’ve never seen
just be pretty but naive
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your…
just be pretty but naive
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your bed
‘cos we’ve been falling apart
built to crumble from the start
I’m a cold metal machine
and I’ll do things you’ve never seen
and what they don't tell you in church is saints are sinners too
alcohol sits nicely in your stomach warm
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
I dance with the devil and drink with the demons
that’ll sleep with death and fell short of breath
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
anything here is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your head
it’s the low before the high
it’s been so long, I thought you were dead
when you wake up hungover
you wish you were sober
with the clouds beneath my feet(?)
just be pretty but naive
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your bed
built to crumble from the start
I’m a cold metal machine
and I’ll do things you’ve never seen
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your…
anything you’ll hear is what you’ll believe
let the rhyme get stuck in your head
wish you had undressed me in your bed
built to crumble from the start
I’m a cold metal machine
and I’ll do things you’ve never seen
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this was done by ear, so it probably isn't completely correct. i couldn't get the last couple of sentences or what "just be pretty by nine" is, due to the fact i can't make out the singer's accent haha
i think it is "just be pretty but naive"
and "and what they dont tell you and judge is saints are sinners too"(?)
i figured out the last line last night "and what they don't tell you in church is saints are sinners too"
that's right
that's right
Favorite Anarbor song.
So, the first time the line "Wish you had undressed me in your" is head, but the other times are bed? That's what I think I hear.
Yeah, same here.
Yeah, same here.
im pretty sure it's "dance with the evil and dream with the demons" and then "fell asleep with death and fell short of breath"
*dance with the devil
Sooo whats this song mean exactly?
I think the song is about a guy who is probably a bad boy, he dances with the devil and dreams with the demons. He's scorning this girl's naivety here, saying she'll believe anything she hears, and obviously it's not all true. When she wakes up hungover from her problems- and probably naive way of escaping the world through drinking and running the gossip mill, she wishes she were just sober. From her life and alcohol He's warning her; your naivety and passion for publication set us up to fall from the start. Now he's just saying to watch out. He's outing her and he'll hurt her and not think twice about it, he's emotionless now and he'll do things she never even thought he could ever do to hurt her.
