Lyrics
What You Meant
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.
As I took step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we're cold as the step cement
But I just don't know what you meant
So Alec you may want a pill
We are so cruel and to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment
But I just don't know what you meant
If we were feckless we'd be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we've been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament
But I just don't know what you meant
'cause I feel blood inside the vein
I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive yeah just the same
Same vigour and the same intent
So I just don't know if that's what you meant
