Ceiling Fan
Surreal Love and Spinning Nights: Cold War Kids' Ceiling Fan
Lyrics
You want this love
You desire this love
To be black and white
To be straightforward and clear
But it's gotten so surreal
But it has become extremely unreal
There are no straight lines
There aren't simple or direct paths
Is it good enough for you
Questioning if the situation meets your expectations
Is it good enough for you
-These elephants in the room
Unaddressed issues causing tension
It's popping off like a balloon
Tension building and escalating rapidly
Is it good enough for you
Continuing to question the adequacy of the situation
Is it good enough for you
-Let's fly to the moon
Suggesting an escape or a desire for something out of reach
Let's swing from the ceiling fan
Describing a moment of abandon and living in the present
The room is spinning around
-We're dancing on the nightstand
-Let the music take over
-We will never get older
-This ship has sailed
Departure from rationality or normalcy
We said goodbye last night
Letting go of self-control and indulging without restraint
To our self control
-We swallowed everything in sight
-Is it good enough for you
Reiterating the query about the situation's adequacy
Is it good enough for you
-Let's fly to the moon
Repeating the desire for escape or the unattainable
Let's swing from the ceiling fan
Revisiting the carefree abandon and embracing the moment
The room is spinning around
-We're dancing on the nightstand
-Let the music take over
-We will never get older
-You keep jumping on the bed
A warning amidst the enjoyment of reckless behavior
But please honey watch your head
-We're swinging from the ceiling fan
-Until we fall down again
-Did we go swimming in a fountain?
Uncertainty or confusion about past experiences
I have no recollection
-I can't seem to tell the difference
-Between dreams and feelings
-Between dreams and feelings
Blurred lines between imagination and emotions
Let's swing from the ceiling fan
Reiteration of embracing the carefree moment and music's influence
The room is spinning around
-We're dancing on the nightstand
-Let the music take over
-We will never get older
-Let's swing from the ceiling fan
Repeating the idea of enjoying the moment with abandon
The room is spinning around
-We're dancing on the nightstand
-Let the music take over
-Between dreams and feelings
Emphasizing the confusion or blending between dreams and emotions
Dreams and feelings
-Between dreams and feelings
-Dreams and feelings
-Between dreams and feelings
-(On the ceiling fan)
-Dreams and feelings
-(On the ceiling fan)
-Between dreams and feelings
-(On the ceiling fan)
-Dreams and feelings
-(On the ceiling fan)
