L'Amour Stories Lyrics

Lyric discussion by cobster 

Cover art for L'Amour Stories lyrics by Deerhoof

Adam and Eve is definitely a possibility, since they reference the Fall (Lift him up for me), and there are number of other clues. These include: the fact that the preceding song is "Forbidden Fruits," that some voice in the lyrics asks accusatorily about a core, and that there's a mention of the devil. I think what this really is about, though, is love (l'amour), and that the song tries to suggest that just as the devil, or our darker side (whatever made Eve eat the apple) can bring us down, love can lift us back up.
