What I want from you is empty your head
They say be true, don't stay in your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me like a rootless tree
What I want from us is empty our minds
We fake the thoughts, and fracture the times
We go blind when we've needed to see
And this leans on me, like a rootless...
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
That you just let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
What I want from this
Is learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers re-invent and believe
And this leans on me, like a rootless...
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
That you just let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Fuck you, fuck you, love you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
That you just let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
First off I want to start by stating how amazing this song is. Damien Rice sings it with great emotion. From listening to it you could say this has to do with a girl and a guy breaking up. But as I look at the lyrics I begin to think more of a struggle between Himself and society. "What I want from us is empty our minds
We fake the thoughts, and fracture the times
We go blind when we've needed to see" Instead of seeing whats truly there we just ignore it and go on as if nothing is wrong. "What I want from this is to learn to let go, No not of you of all that's been told" I believe he is saying from this experience he wants to learn for himself. Find out things meaning to him rather then just accept the general idea. Feel free to leave comments and add to this. But this Is what I get from this. Because there are numerous ways you could take this song.

ReplyDeleteIt's about religion. The "killers reinvent and believe" are killing in the name of.
ReplyDeleteThis song is a build up from the album where he had been having an affair on his wife. In this song it is about when she found out about the affair. He loves her and wants to be with her, but it is currently hell when she is around because she is so hurt and angry. He wants to let go of what happened, and work things out with her. Just it's too fresh and really hard for her.
