They open my window...in comes the light,
I froze in the corner...I pray for the night,
But if it's you my dear who turns on the light,
I'll eat from your hands as a bird with no fear no no,
fear.

Because I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you.

Rise up my dark star...face into the night,
Come out of your corner..shine for the night,
if it's you my love who turns on the light,
I'll eat from your hands as a bird with no fear no no,
fear.

Because I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you,
I adore you.

Climb out of the shadows...crawl into the night,
Fall out of the window...die to the night,
if it's you my love who turns on the light,
I'll eat from your hands as a bird with no fear no no,
fear.

Because I adore you...

    Katie Jane has an amazing voice. It makes this song hauntingly beautiful. Such a pretty song.

    the love song of the Taxidermy album, I Adore You. definantly not like other "lovesongs". its so odd because i get all of these mental images of things happening when i hear the song but i don't know how to describe the emotion of it in words. its a lot like being scarred in a way, and keeping away, or being confined. and then "the one" comes and casts light into shadows. yes, thats about how it is. :)

    You'll be glad to know I dont have any morbid interpretations of this one!!! It's just to me, a beautiful, haunting, love song. Being healed by that special someone. And I agree with JulieMarlene, she hasa gorgeous voice, in fact she's just gorgeous. I'm more than a little obsessed...

    I think this is one of the most beautiful songs off the album. Such a nice love song, it reminds me of someone special anyway sigh

    The background noises when shes singing 'I adore you' is what I personally think makes it a little haunting. Heh, but thats just me.

    This is gorgeous...Katie Jane is beautiful. I am reluctant to say that this song is as simple and as black and white as "a lovesong" but I think she is just saying that sometimes people are truly horrible, the world is corrupted and full of evil as all of us well know. When it feels like there is no purpose you seek your purpose in other people and when you find someone that truly cares and that you truly adore you have found your purpose and it makes everything seem alright again.

    So true... I hate people and the things they do sometimes... then again I constantly feel like I need someone to adore... to feel close to... and to just give me a purpose I guess. Katie Jane has a beautiful way of putting things.

    --Some one really needs to add lyrics to "Siamese Almeida" and "Kitty Collar".--

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
