The Casualty Lyrics
The night has fallen down the staircase
And I, for one, have felt it's bruises
Equilbrium, inebriated
Our social graces have been displaced
As we sink deeper into the drink
The volume increases
Night time resurrects fault lines
Silent wars rumble somewhere below
The surfaces verses
The surfaces verses
The shoe is dropped, lungs explode
Shards of words of a shattered voice
And there's still a hole where the phone was thrown
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
The moon is rising, a revolution
I close my eyes and the room is spinning
You're screaming, "Sweetie, the moon has raped me
It's left its seeds like a tomb inside me
So I must learn to abort these feelings
This romance is bleeding"
Night time triggers the land mines
Bedroom wounds, lovers like brigadiers
Marching two by two
Marching two by two
A soldier's down, flood gates burst
I've said some things I wish you'd never heard
Like, "There's still a hole where the phone was thrown"
It's growing as we speak
And it's sucking us both in
A vacuum of sorrow to swallow up the day
And I, for one, have felt it's bruises
Equilbrium, inebriated
Our social graces have been displaced
As we sink deeper into the drink
The volume increases
Silent wars rumble somewhere below
The surfaces verses
The surfaces verses
The shoe is dropped, lungs explode
Shards of words of a shattered voice
And there's still a hole where the phone was thrown
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I close my eyes and the room is spinning
You're screaming, "Sweetie, the moon has raped me
It's left its seeds like a tomb inside me
So I must learn to abort these feelings
This romance is bleeding"
Bedroom wounds, lovers like brigadiers
Marching two by two
Marching two by two
A soldier's down, flood gates burst
I've said some things I wish you'd never heard
Like, "There's still a hole where the phone was thrown"
It's growing as we speak
And it's sucking us both in
A vacuum of sorrow to swallow up the day

"the moon has raped me" is also used in the lament of pretty baby.
those are some harsh lyrics right there. harsh.
If this song were to transform into a human being, i would have sex with that human being until i passed out. That's how good it is.
Wonderful lyrics, and yes, it does remind me of Thursday, maybe that's why I suddenly loved Cursive as soon as I heard them.
i think they are very thursday/at the drive-in sounding. those are 2 of my fav bands which makes cursive amazing. i'd have sex with any of their songs. and im a girl. bam
oh my goodness. every single one of the songs on domestica just... beat me up. the lyrics are so creatively spun and damn. lovers fighting, i think so.
Thursday dwindles in comparison to Cursive, and your right about that broken relationships theme on Domestica i wonder why that might be id like to know who this girl is that pissed him off so bad
"Sweetie, the moon has raped me -- It has left its seeds like a tomb inside me So I must learn to abort these feelings This romance is bleeding..."
okay, I think I'm going to clear this up (finally). the repeated motif of "the moon has raped me" is an allusion the themes of a relationship's hidden violences coming to the surface during its painful dissolution. the moon here is a literaryl device, a metonymy implying jealousy, as the moon is illuminated through reflected sunlight.
thus, the line "the moon has raped me" is meant to communicate the ugly feelings of jealousy and resentment and the anger therein of the album's speakers (a theme that recurs throughout the album, most notably on "Making Friends and Acquaintances").
this song is so amazing. the beginning kind of reminds me of an at the drive in song. -shrug- "sweetie, the moon has raped me -" is also used in the lament of pretty baby. [ heh. that was not meant to copy the first line. it just came out] but it is such a powerful line. as are all of cursive's songs. do they remind anyone else of thursday?
they repeat a lyric on every song in domestica.
Hmm, seeing that no one has tackled this song yet, I'm saying two lovers fighting, kinda obvious if you ask me.
