This was the first ladytron song I ever heard, I'm note even sure where I came across it (maybe while i was in liverpool?) It's one of my favorite songs. Anyway - heres my take... it's pretty literal... I take it as a person who is self-destructive and ruins things, almost on purpose, but is not necessarily aware of it. The singer sees this destructive nature, but is unable to distance themself b/c of caring about the person (or maybe being self-destructive as well).
"Anything that may desert you
So it cannot hurt you"
"You only have to look behind you
At who’s underlined you"
Anythng that may delay you,
might just save you"
(You are ruining this relationship between us b/c of your fear. Push me away, but if you only looked at the past, you could see that I have been here for you. If you weren't in such a rush to leave, you might be able to see the value of the relationship).
Everything you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun
(You turn off your emotions, but I know they exist. I am trying to help/save you, but you have no idea how you make me feel or the love that you disregard.)
Destroy me this way - this part is pretty obvious.
@rachie128 -- My first Ladytron song was Ghosts, and like you, I have no idea how this song wound up in my roster of downloaded songs! Once I discovered who the artist is I had to suss ALL their music.
