I have to agree with the previous poster, AncientNova. If you try to manipulate a song's lyrics in any way, ANY song in this world could be about drugs. Alison's lyrics are very dreamlike, very sparse - she uses very few words to express a lot of emotion. I think this song is about someone who obviously tells little lies and is slowly pushing someone away - tears start. I find Goldfrapp's music to be very interesting because the lyrics definitely tell something, but the music tells more. This song is so mysterious and just irradiates sadness and confusion.
