Youth and Lust Lyrics
Dethroning the dream
Of noen night in rain
I stripped from the skin
But kept it in
Same remains the same
Cold sheets and mattress stains
There’s no telling you
To want me to
You miss the disco lights
It’s all pleather now
A synthetic world without end
Sheds a tear of plastic deception
The last dance
With the rain
On the nod
On the train
Hunting the haunted with shame
I will remember your name
I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
I had hoped a to thread the black hole
With no strings attached
Thorn to finger again
A head in a strange hand
I prayed for some truth
‘Til my face turned blue
To fill the void between
Your youth and lust
You’ll cross the bridge between
My knives and trust
You miss the neon lights
It’s all plastic now
A sympathetic world without end
Hums a hymn of misdirection
The last dance
With the rain
On the nod
On the train
Hunting the haunted with shame
I will remember your name
I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
I had hoped a to thread the black hole
With no strings attached
Of noen night in rain
I stripped from the skin
But kept it in
Cold sheets and mattress stains
There’s no telling you
To want me to
It’s all pleather now
A synthetic world without end
Sheds a tear of plastic deception
With the rain
On the nod
On the train
Hunting the haunted with shame
I will remember your name
I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
I had hoped a to thread the black hole
With no strings attached
A head in a strange hand
I prayed for some truth
‘Til my face turned blue
Your youth and lust
You’ll cross the bridge between
My knives and trust
It’s all plastic now
A sympathetic world without end
Hums a hymn of misdirection
With the rain
On the nod
On the train
Hunting the haunted with shame
I will remember your name
I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
I had hoped a to thread the black hole
With no strings attached

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. Cold cave are extremely gifted musicians
This is one of the deepest songs, about pure and young love.
Technically Cold Cave is really just one guy...
Technically Cold Cave is really just one guy...
To me this song is about being heartbroken. Living your life and not caring about feelings or emotions. Being lustful to enjoy those short moments of intimacy because it’s so difficult to find authentic affection towards someone, and it’s something that’s been craved for so long.
