Lose It

I think this (amazing!) song is talking about how this girl is falling hard for this guy that she's just met or only got a glimpse of (in other words, love at first sight, aka fairy tale stuff). Other guys have never made her feel this way before and it kind of scares her. Breaking down of ze lyrics:

"Don't want to lose you"- he's great, she wants to keep him with her "Don't want to lose"- however, she thinks that if she gives into her strong feelings, then she'll be going against everything she's ever pushed away before, therefor, losing the battle she's had with herself "I never knew you, I never knew"- she doesn't know him, just what she can see "Your body's harmful, the very shape/ the cracks are deeper, on every plate"- she is visually very stimulated by this guys appearance and she thinks that underneath it, he's just as beautiful (a great personality) "I get impatient, with every word/ the more you ask me, the more i've heard"- I feel like maybe they've now started conversing and she wants him to stop beating around the bush and just ask her out or something like that "This is a thirst I have never had/ i've never bled for another man" - like I said, she's never felt this strongly about a guy before; it's so strong that she feels like she's losing everything inside of her (a fantastic line!) "My face screams...without an emotion"- I think this means that she has this reaction to this guy (her bold feelings), but there was nothing to really make her feel this way because she hardly knows him (the emotion to make her face scream); something is scaring her, but it's not the guy himself "In the darkness comes another, another/ hold her by the thumbs, the other, the other"- I take it as, from somewhere (the darkness) comes the guys girlfriend (another); and the "hold her by the thumbs" part gets me, I really don't get that part...

Sorry if I debunked this too much, I just really love this song and I think Austra's really good at music :}
