The Lexington
Dancing with Gods: A Vibrant Tale of Neon Lights and Unspoken Beliefs
Lyrics
She looked like the bad guy from an 80's movie
Describing a woman who resembles a villain from an 80's movie.
With her plaid chequered trousers and her martens on her feet
Details about her attire, plaid trousers, and martens (boots).
Making her two feet taller than the pylon of myself
She appears much taller than the narrator (pylon of myself).
Coasting above the crowd of the Lexington, above a crimson coloured fog
Observing her presence above the crowd at the Lexington venue.
I saw a girl sway like a god, like a god
Describing her graceful sway as god-like during an ancient ritual.
Ancient ritual between her teeth, glinting in the winter of mixed drinks
Imagery of winter and mixed drinks, highlighting her allure.
A god, like a god, she beckons and i believe
The woman is portrayed as god-like, and the narrator believes in her.
I believe, I believe it
Repetition of belief in the woman's divinity.
A shock of pink that fades to tangerine, lit up with sequin, christmas tree
Describing her appearance with vivid colors and festive elements.
Amid the chandelier, pentonville and old veneers
Reference to the surroundings, including a chandelier and specific locations.
That peel away to scuppered floors, cramped staircase and borrowed walls
Details about the venue's worn-out features.
Plastered postcards of Barnes, old sea power, long gone
Images of plastered postcards and references to past memories.
But she blooms through the mantling like a god, like a god
Despite the worn-out surroundings, the woman stands out like a god.
Oh, all I have on upper arms, but understood to mean this place,
Narrator contemplates the significance of the place on their upper arms.
A god, like a god, she screams, feral and free, and I believe
The woman screams like a god, fierce and liberated, and the narrator believes.
I believe, I believe it
Reiteration of the narrator's belief in the woman's divinity.
I believed in a new headstone
The narrator had faith in a new beginning represented by a headstone.
It's wistful but you're just being honest
Reflecting on the bittersweet nature of the belief.
To not knowing otherwise
Acceptance of uncertainty and not knowing otherwise.
4am to deliver us, I believe, I believe it
Expressing belief in a transformative moment at 4 am.
Unknown number calls again from outside, below the Lexington
An unknown caller leaves a message outside the Lexington.
And leaves another message I won't pick up in the morning
The narrator ignores the message in the morning.
She dances 9 hours ahead, goulburn gold in green bunk bed
Describing a distant place (Goulburn) where someone is dancing ahead in time.
The room spins and I let it take out the rest of february
The room spins, and the narrator lets the month of February pass.
I hear his lurid echo, like a god, like a god,
Hearing an echo reminiscent of a god while in a state of blackout.
Blacked out by the roadside, stag head, smoking garden,
Visuals of a stag head, smoking garden, continuing the god-like imagery.
Like a god, like a god, but he's not alive to see
The god-like figure is not alive to witness the narrator's belief.
Me believe, I believe, I believe it
Reiteration of the narrator's belief despite the circumstances.
I put my faith in a new headstone
Putting faith in a new beginning represented by a headstone.
It's wistful but you're just being honest
Reflecting again on the bittersweet nature of this belief.
To not knowing otherwise
Embracing uncertainty and not knowing otherwise.
4am to deliver us, I believe, I believed it
Expressing belief in a transformative moment at 4 am (repeated).
