Florence + the Machine - Howl Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
Howl Lyrics & Meanings: If you could only see the beast you've made of me / I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free / Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart / Drag my teeth across your chest to tast your beating heart / / My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt my way in / You are the moon that makes the night for which I have to howl / My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt my way in / You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to / / Howl, howl / Howl, howl / / Now there's no rolling back, I'm aching to attack / My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out / The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound / I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground / / Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins / I want to find you and tear out all of your tenderness / / And howl, howl / Howl, howl / / Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers / Starts so soft and sweet and turns them into hunters / Hunters, hunters,

Swimming Lyrics & Meanings: Your songs remind me of swimming, / Which I forgot when I started to sink / Drank further away from the shore, / And deeper into the drink / / Sat on the bottom of the ocean, / A stern and stubborn rock / Cos your songs remind me of swimming, / But somehow I forgot / / I was sinking, now I'm sunk / And I was drinking, now I'm drunk / I was sinking, now I'm sunk, / And I was drinking, now I'm drunk / / I tried to remember the chorus, / I can't remember the verse / Cos that song that sent me swimming, / Is now the life jacket that burst / / Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor, / Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more / Your songs remind me of swimming, / But I can't swim any more / / Then all of a sudden, I heard a note, / It started in my chest and ended in my throat / Then I realised I was swimming, / And then I realised I was swimming, / And then I realised I was swimming, / And then I realised I was swimming / / Pull me out the water, cold and blue, / I open my ey

Florence + the Machine - Blinding Lyrics & Meanings
|

Blinding Lyrics & Meanings: Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state / A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake / No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber / Until I realize that it was you who held me under / / Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids / Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs / / No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone / No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden / No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love / No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love / No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world / / And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack / And all around the world was waking, I never could go back / 'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open / And finally it seemed that the spell was broken / / And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open / And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open /

Dog Days Are Over Lyrics & Meanings: Happiness, hit her like a train on a track / Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back / She hid around corners and she hid under beds / She killed it with kisses and from it she fled / With every bubble she sank with a drink / And washed it away down the kitchen sink / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / The horses are coming so you better run / / Run fast for your mother run fast for your father / Run for your children for your sisters and brothers / Leave all your love and your longing behind you / Can't carry it with you if you want to survive / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / Can't you hear the horses / 'Cause here they come / / And I never wanted anything from you / Except everything you had / And what was left after that too, oh / / Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back / Struck from a great height / By some man who should know better than that / / The dog days are over / The dog days are done / Can you hear the hors

Bedroom Hymns Lyrics & Meanings: This is as good a place to fall as any / We'll build our altar here / Make me your Maria / I'm already on my knees / You had Jesus on your breath / And I caught him in mine / Sweating our confessions / The undone and the divine / This is his body / This is his blood / / Such selfish prayers / And I can't get enough / / Spilled milk tears, / I did this for you / Spilling over the idol / / The black and the blue / / The sweetest submission / Drinking it in / The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns / 'Cause this is his body / This is his love / Such selfish prayers and I can't get enough / I can't get enough / / I'm not here looking for absolution / Because I found myself an old solution / I'm not here looking for absolution / Because I found myself an old solution / / This is his body / This is his love / Such selfish prayers, I can't get enough

Only If for a Night Lyrics & Meanings: And I had a dream about my old school / And she was there all pink and gold and glittering / I threw my arms around her legs / Came to repay (came to repay) / Came to repay (came to repay) / / And I heard your voice as clear as day / And you told me I should concentrate / It was all so strange and so surreal / That a ghost should be so practical / / Only if for a night / / And the only solution was to stand and fight / And my body was bruised and I was set alight / But she came over me like some holy rite / And although I was burning, you're the only light / / Only if for a night / / In the grass was so green against my new clothes / And I did cartwheels in your honour / Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonials / Before the service began / In the graveyard, doing handstands / / And I heard your voice as clear as day / And you told me I should concentrate / It was all so strange and so surreal / That a ghost should be so practical / / Only if for a night / /
