Neon Love
Seduction of Neon: A.P. Michaels' Bewitching Tale
Lyrics
Neon love turns the heart a sickly green
Neon love creates a sickly, unhealthy feeling in the heart
My bloodstream's filled with poison
The singer feels like their veins are filled with something harmful
And it's slowly killing me
This harmful feeling is slowly causing their demise
Neon love will entice you with its shine
Neon love attracts with its brightness, but against reality, it loses its luster
But against the brick it flickers
When compared to the solidity of life ("brick"), neon love seems unstable and flickering
Neon love's on borrowed time
Neon love is temporary and won't last long
And I guess I'm just a sucker for the color
The singer feels drawn to the allure of neon colors
Purple, pink or blue, its all the same
No matter the color, neon love allures with its brightness compared to ordinary life
It bets the earthly palette something duller
Neon love seems more attractive than the ordinary world
And I'm the moon-eyed fool who bought into the sucker's game
The singer feels foolish for falling into the trap of neon love
Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
Repeated chorus emphasizing the destructive nature of this love
Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
-Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
-Your love is gonna be the death of me
-It's gonna be the death of me
-It's gonna be the death of me, oh
-Neon love (neon love)
Neon love is a curse in urban settings
is a curse upon the streets (curse upon the streets)
It brings discomfort and fear like carrying paper bags filled with paranoia
Paper bags and paranoia (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Paranoia and anxiety turning into something solid and unyielding
Turning to the concrete (ahh)
Neon love will cause harm or pain
Neon Love will break your bones (break your bones)
It makes one feel like a sinner with no chance for redemption
It fancies you a sinner (fancies you a sinner)
Reiteration of being attracted to the allure despite knowing its drawbacks
With no pathway to atone
-And I guess I'm just a sucker for the color
-Purple, pink or blue, it's all the same
-It bets the earthly palette something duller
-And I'm the moon-eyed fool who bought into the sucker's game
-Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
Reiterated chorus highlighting the inevitability of destruction from this love
Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
-Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh
-Your love is gonna be the death of me
-It's gonna be the death of me
-It's gonna be the death of me, oh
-And I don't want darkness, but I can't stand the light
The singer doesn't want darkness but can't handle the harsh reality of the light
I'm shadowboxing and losing the fight
They're metaphorically fighting without much success
Like a bug to the zapper, I feel my disgrace
Feeling drawn to something that causes their downfall
I find empty solace in the same bitter place, yeah
The singer finds comfort in a familiar yet bitter place
Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh (yeah, oh)
Repeated chorus emphasizing the impending demise caused by this love
Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh (radiation gonna get you)
-Your love is gonna be the death of me ooh (well you don't think I know)
-Your love is gonna be the death of me (I know, and so I know, and so I know)
-It's gonna be the death of me (I know)
-It's gonna be the death of me, oh
