Hi there.
I've had a few questions over the years about what some of my lyrics and songs are about.
I'd rather you get what the story is than just say "I want my listeners to find their own interpretation" - because, while I do want you to do that, I also want to give you some clues!
So- here's a video where I talk about the lyrics of Kamikaze Girlfriend and then perform an acoustic version of it.
I hope you enjoy!
If you like to read along, here are the lyrics:
Lyrics:
Kamikaze Girlfriend
Hanging out on my lonesome-
It's a common department
Feeling all of your oceans falling down- and I'm
Falling too.
I am crisscrossed across you
A silent arachnid
And I lost all my conscience- somewhere back there- and I'm
Into you.
KAMIKAZE GIRLFRIEND
SKIPPING THROUGH THE DEEP-END
COLOURS OF THE SOUL
BLOODY-CRAZY TRIPS THE MIND
STUPIFY MY DEMONS TILL THEY'RE SMILING TOO
Wearing swollen red eyelids
Watching walls falling down
And my life just slipped sideways, run aground- and I'm
Lost in blue.
Folded up like a leaf
On a cold winter's morning
In the still, wet pools of my mind- and I've
Fallen through.
KAMIKAZE GIRLFRIEND
SKIPPING THROUGH THE DEEP-END
COLOURS OF THE SOUL
BLOODY-CRAZY TRIPS THE MIND
STUPIFY MY DEMONS TILL THEY'RE SMILING TOO
