Quicksand Lyrics

Cover art for Quicksand lyrics by La Roux

I think this is about a gay woman having an affair with a girl who's got a boyfriend.

"It seems you have forgotten About your man" are the obvious lyrics but there are other clues as well.

"My bed's a different land" - referring to the woman who's only slept with men before.

"All you do is push me back in the dark" - the other girl's in the closet still, and being with her feels like being back in the closet as she's having to pretend nothing's going on.

"What's my position? I don't understand" - She's unsure whether the affair is simply an experiment for the other girl, or if she wants something more.

There are obvious gay hints in "In For the Kill" as well. I'm thinking she's a lesbian. Or just likes singing about lesbian relationships...? Who knows.

she isn't a lesbian cos she said in an interview she isn't

She's never been open about her sexuality, but I know someone that knows her and she used to have a boyfriend but is now dating a woman...so she's bisexual.

who cares if she's a lesbian or not..in fact it doesnt matter at all.....but the song is a simply about the girl who meets a girl, but she's never had sex with another woman before - " my bed is a different land"...."walkig on broken ground again" - I am not really sure what or who I want and what am I doing...this is an amazing feeling but it's so easy to drown...
