"Intimate" as written by Ethan Kath and Alice Glass....
Collecting hearts
Another love is another place to stay
Another face
We close our eyes and feel our way
A new fit
You're Positive but they don't need to know
Another boy another girl another place to go
It feels like sleep
It feels like being born
Return to soil
Return to frailer form
Another love is another place to stay
Another face
We close our eyes and feel our way
A new fit
You're Positive but they don't need to know
Another boy another girl another place to go
It feels like sleep
It feels like being born
Return to soil
Return to frailer form

The narrator shows that the person doesn't have a plan, rather they are walking blind and stumbling through life: 'we close our eyes and feel our way'
'A new fit' means the new sexual relationship they have found.
This person is HIV positive but doesn't tell their partners about it. This might be because they fear another night out in the cold, as 'another boy another girl' means 'another place to go'.
They die: 'it feels like sleep', 'it feels like being born'. And they 'return to [the] soil' as a continuity of energy transference.
'Return to frailer form' means that when our bodies degrade and become dust, we become a 'frailer form'. made from the same materials and elements, but in a different arrangment.
Alice Glass once said 'everything is dust'.
Inherently sad and meaningful, these lyrics struck me as a possible reflection on homeless life from the narrator's teenage years.
SIGH.
have no idea what shes saying, but still haha
For those who haven't heard it: youtube.com/…
there's barely-audible lyrics throughout it.
Very sexy. But I wouldn't expect anything less from Alice and Ethan.

I reckon its about someone (probably male) who sleeps around or jumps from relationship to relationship or maybe even a sells themselves for sex. they are HIV Positive and giving everyone who they are intimate with the disease. then they die and are explaining what that is like. possibly to their ex lovers.
