Clean White Love Lyrics

I left the keys in the car
I left the door ajar
I didn't want to be alone

These are the days and the nights
At these sweet humbling heights
And I know it used to be home

Well whisk me away
I'll be yours for a day
In heavenly fields we can roam

Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
I gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Oh everybody's looking for a fix

Sell me a sign
I'll cut the telephone line
Just to keep expectations alive

Oh you're bleeding me dry
But the feeling is blind
So I climbed up your looking device

Sell me it straight
Oh it might be too late
To keep on breaking the rules

Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
I gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Oh everybody's looking for a fix

In this nervous disease
There's a cure I need
Let the medecine get to the bone

Remember this place
Leave it up to the fate
Is it true that it's kind do be cruel, cruel

Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?

Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?

Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?

Gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Now everybody's looking for a fix

My Opinion

heroin? seem more cocaine to me, or drugs in general, but i wouldn't be reprized if its a metaphor for a love itself rather than being a song about drugs only, possibly addiction in general.

No it's most definitely heroin. The idea of "pure china white" plays more into clean white love. Also lines like "let the medicine get to the bone" evoke imagery involving injection. All in all though I agree, the song is a metaphor for love. Heroin is the most addictive of all narcotics and she's saying this love is as addictive, that she's trying her best to create every excuse, but she keeps reaching back for that fix, even though it's clearly unhealthy.

I think the idea that it's about drugs may be very close. The words "clean white love" might mean the guys is like heroine to her. "This love is a disease, there is no cure... ...but it's kind to be cruel." Heroine having both the bad side and the good side of it. And then, "What are you doing? What ya doin? What ya doin to my head?", like the drug.

SO basically, I think there is a meaning inside the meaning. The song is, without analyzing, about drugs. But as it goes on, the drug seems to be a metaphor.

Just my view.

I'm relatively sure that this song is actually about losing her virginity... "I gave my heart on the morning of November 6, oh everybody's looking for a fix" And I think the song is not about drugs itself, but just a metaphor for how her man is like a drug to her. It's about losing her virginity, but seeing it as beautiful thing. I guess it's open to interpretation.

I think it’s basically about an older man who comes off as being nice kind of like he is A victim sort of some kind, but he’s really not and so he talks his girl into having sex and she’s really really young so in actuality he’s a pedophile but nobody really knows it because he doesn’t look like one and so he gets away with it.
