When My Love Comes Down
Love's Enigmatic Descent: Grinderman's Sonic Poetry
Lyrics
When my love comes down, to meet you
Anticipation of the speaker's love approaching to meet someone.
When my love comes down, to meet you again
Reiteration of the expectation of the speaker's love reconnecting.
When my love comes down, to meet you
Continued expression of the imminent arrival of the speaker's love.
Yeah, when my love comes down, to meet you again
Emphasis on the forthcoming meeting of the speaker's love.
Your mouth is a hologram made of spiders bones
Metaphorical description of the listener's mouth as a complex and eerie image.
Your fingers little soldiers drumming on their way back home
Imagery of fingers portrayed as soldiers drumming, possibly conveying a sense of purpose or determination.
I thought I saw a thundercloud on the avenue
Observation of a metaphorical thundercloud, hinting at a brewing emotional storm.
Lightning rattled though the streets, yeah, that little storm was you
Association of lightning with the listener, suggesting a disruptive force or intensity.
When my love comes down, to meet you
Repetition of the expectation of the speaker's love arriving.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you again
Reiteration of the anticipation of the speaker's love reconnecting.
Your skin is like the falling snow, your hair is like the rising sun
Comparisons of the listener's skin to falling snow and hair to the rising sun, possibly portraying contrasting elements.
Your tongue is like Kalashnikov or some other foreign gun
Simile comparing the listener's tongue to a Kalashnikov or a foreign gun, hinting at sharpness or danger.
I see you standing there way down upon the street
Visualizing the listener standing with a juxtaposition of victory and defeat through banners.
You're marching victorious with your banners of defeat
Expression of conflicting emotions or experiences in the listener's demeanor.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you
Repetition of the expectation of the speaker's love arriving, emphasizing the moment.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you again
Reiteration of the anticipation of the speaker's love reconnecting.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you
Continued expression of the imminent arrival of the speaker's love.
When my love comes down, to meet you again
Emphasis on the forthcoming meeting of the speaker's love.
When my love comes down, to meet you
Continued expression of the imminent arrival of the speaker's love.
When my love comes down, to meet you again
Emphasis on the forthcoming meeting of the speaker's love.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you
Repetition of the expectation of the speaker's love arriving.
Oh, when my love comes down, to meet you again
