Gentle Earthquakes Lyrics
How cold the tear can feel on warm skin?
So delicate, violently it begins
Within this universe I will be lost
Moving from rivers to mountain tops
Can't stay here
I'll throw myself in the ocean
I lift myself and run
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
Light will guide her
The fascinating way you change your colour
The ugly and the flawless beauty of us
With the combination of purple and pink
The only traces of our love blossoming
I'm not home
In a place where love has been broken
I lift myself and run
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
Twisted body parts moving synchronized
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield
In the eleventh hour
Finally a hidden flower
In the last moment
Finally opens
Like a gentle earthquake, it intensifies
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
Twisted body parts moving synchronized
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield
So delicate, violently it begins
Within this universe I will be lost
Moving from rivers to mountain tops
I'll throw myself in the ocean
I lift myself and run
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
Light will guide her
The ugly and the flawless beauty of us
With the combination of purple and pink
The only traces of our love blossoming
In a place where love has been broken
I lift myself and run
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield
Finally a hidden flower
In the last moment
Finally opens
It's like my lungs are breathing fire
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
And if the fire dies
My body will be the truth
And the light will guide her
(My heart, my head, my mind!)
Watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes
All the flowers grow to a luscious field
All connecting love becomes a human shield

I read on another site that this song was originally her speaking about orgasm and sex. \nthe strange noise that is repeated a couple of times right at the start is how she believes the musical sound of an orgasm was best represented, for her at that time (apparently but my sources are quite sketchy.\nAnyway, apparently she later said she’d changed her personal view of what the song was about, to something completely different. \nAnd then again, she has also stated that the songs mean different things to different people and none are incorrect.\n\nI love the line ‘watching lightning strike in my lovers eyes’ - such a terrific description!
