Break free from the death
The night of the new moon
Let’s slip out through the window
Our two shadows a silhouette of flight
(Bewildered We’ll change in a sway)
The new moon, purple
(Temptation Beckoning Let’s sing)
The backlight of the rabble is black
Souls of the dead, that aim to paint us over
The other you in the mirror
Smiles with what kind of face, I wonder
Yeah yeah
Destroy it
The morning of the full moon, the world is still half asleep
And a volcano touching a pillow erupts
(Bewildered We’ll change in a sway)
The wind, pale blue
(Temptation Beckoning Let’s sing)
Even including your servile smile, you’re beautiful
As far as the sun below the freezing point
With calm steps—
“If you are to rot, better to burn out”
The backlight of the rabble is black
Souls of the dead, that aim to paint us over
The other you in the mirror
Smiles with what kind of face, I wonder
Yeah yeah
Destroy it
Say no no throw away the past
Break down down extinguish the moon

NOTES / INTERPRETATION:
Thoughts. I love how saucy this song sounds despite its relatively tame lyrics; the way that the end is punctuated not only by an insistent repetition of the chorus, but also by a cool bass phrase is really satisfying. Listening to it, it feels like something from another era, evoking a sense of nostalgia, while also feeling current and polished. It’s an excellent track: dark, danceable, luxurious.
