Kerosene Lyrics

Light of God dimming weak
Nothing's wrong go back to sleep
Lost the will at infancy
Drown them in charity
Lend them comfort for sorrow
Enthusiasm they borrow
I can clean impurity
Wash away with kerosene

Can't offend my modesty
Thank you for defiling me
Language pure as binary
Instruct with dishonesty
In nature there's no tragedy
Bandage them in tapestry
Trade comfort for identity
Drown me in kerosene

Ke - Kerosene

I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline

I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline

Ker - kerosene

And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen

Cover art for Kerosene lyrics by Crystal Castles

I think this song is about impurities society puts on us and how because of them we can lose sight of God, the will to live, etc. Then, to clean out what has happened to us and start off new, we must burn these things that bring us down (with kerosene). The lyrics "lend them comfort in my sorrow, enthusiasm they borrow", identifies how because of society's rules we can't be happy, and "trade comfort for identity" shows how to fit in, someone will sacrifice themselves and their comfort. To me, Alice Glass seems a bit misanthropic, and I love it.

My Interpretation

This song is old so to make it easier to understand i have come from the future to tell you what it means, because the meaning behind this has become more truthful now

Light of God dimming weak, Gods influence is decreasing by high amounts and fast Nothings wrong go back to sleep, This is for comfort from the person singing and they're telling you everythings ok Lost the will at infantry, they lost the will to strive when they were a child Drown them in charity, many people donate to charity, but most only do it because of pity Lend them comfort for sorrow, we lend people comfort for their sorrow Enthusiasm they borrow, they borrow enthusiasm forcingly I can clean impurity, the singer can help clean impurities in souls Wash away with kerosene, they suggest to wash them away with kerosene Cant offend my modesty, nothing can be done to great peoples modesty Thank you for defiling me, the singer sarcastically thanks you for spoiling them Language pure as binary, everything they say is true Instruct with dishonesty, the government of this world lies to us In nature theres no tragedy, everything that happens in nature was meant to happen Bandage them in tapestry, heal the suffering people with encouragement Trade comfort for identity, people are willing to sacrifice their comfort and dignity to fit in Drown me in kerosene, kerosene as a combustible liquid can do many things and they need it as a medicine I'll protect you from all the things i've seen, they have an omni-perspective view of the world and know many things we do not, and they will protect you from the many cruelties and impurities this world has And i'll clean your wounds rinse them with saline, they let you know they're there to help and offer cleaning peoples wounds with saline, another liquid with many purposes including cleaning wounds.
