Raphael Lyrics

Cover art for Raphael lyrics by CocoRosie

Its really hard to say what most cocorosie songs are 'about'. This one is beautiful but opaque as usual. I love the lines 'dangle like women' and 'in my heart a flower dies slow.' I think this song touches on the link between domesticity and feminity, possible domestic violence, and some kind of spiritual/sexual vision (I think raphael is an angel?)
