What It Means
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I feel good. I feel bad. Ain't it sad
One day it's all going to end
Up in flames. Without a shame
Cos I'm here. To change the total
course of the world (yeah yeah)
And that's what I'm singing (yeah yeah)
Heat it up. Cool it down
Spread it around under the cold
shadow of love. I have found (I have found)
What it means (what it means). To believe (to believe)
And leave the world to the remains
Of the day (of the day). What I say (what I say). Ain't so clear (ain't so clear)
To souls who die when the decline
Can't be seen (can't be seen). They're getting mean (they're getting mean)
Now we're going (now we're going)
To change the total course
(chorus)
Here am I.
Love just spilled on what comes naturally.
Buy and bye
Love just spills and I don't mean rationally
What it means. Is you're dead
One to the head. If you don't know
what is behind. This disguise.
It's no surprise. When you think
About your own every step of the way
The energy pirates will get you
They'll chew on your bones for breakfast
They'll convince you that baby you're desperate
They'll spit on your mound and keep pounding and pounding and
(repeat chorus)
All the time. Love just comes and I
don't mean casually. Wait a while
Love will come and fuck that tragedy
(Cancel that shrink we're travelling up
to the sky minds on the blink
Or maybe the lies. Out of time)
I have found. What it means. To believe
That what is all going to end
Up in flames. Is your heart
So let it speak. And change the total
course of the world
