Engines Lyrics
Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
So fire your engine see if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air I'll be fire
You say you love me like the silence of the turning Earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past the now the coming years
Will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoeless feet
I know I love you like the slivered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the silence of the turning Earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now the coming years
So fire your engine see if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air I'll be fire
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past the now the coming years
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoeless feet
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now the coming years

I think he's basically saying she's the engine & he's the fuel - she'll use him up but he really doesn't mind "Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise Use me forever use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air I'll be fire"
I think its about the relationship between love and death, and how they affect each other. But thats just me. Great song!
agreed. this song is about love and death at the same time. also as gsleith says, she will use him up, he doesnt mind. cool cong

First off let me say I love this song. I find it very poetic, but can't really pinpoint its true meaning. I like how the chorus: 'You say you love me like the silence of the turning Earth You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears You say you love me like the past the now the coming years'
Seems to almost zoom in. From the earth, to our lives, to their relationship, to something purely mental, and invented, like time.
I have to challenge one line in the lyrics. I've listened over and over and I think the lines:
"You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears" "I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears"
are actually:
"You say you love me like the laughter, loud and drenched by tears" "I know you love me like the laughter, loud and drenched by tears"
nope, this is on the CD cover lyrics.

Ahhh I love this song!!! I'm not 100% on what it means, though.
Wonderful song! It's about someone who's in a very deep relationship. But whatever meaning, the feeling the chorus provokes is brilliant. You just feel that it's right, and that it has to do with love in some way.
like this song :)
Great song. I can't believe it, at first I didn't liked the new album at all. But with time, it grew on me. This song is so simple and beautiful, the guitars fit perfectly the lyrics and Gary's voice, makes me feel like I'm floating over the ocean, searching for something I don't know yet. This is incredibile. This song and Finish Line are one of the best songs ever.
I love this song one of my favorites
"Only the faintest only the faintest glance..." its about an attraction a powerful one 'we'll be dust instantly' its obvious they have a fiery kinda thing
i dont believe they have a serious relationship "Will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye" it might be a one night thing but they are very passionate , the conection is so intense its hard to tell the difference and for him its love great all surrounding, defining time and space
I'm in love with this.
