Lyrics
When the shutter's down
Despite the day starting, there's a sense of closure or isolation.
Though the sun is up
Even though it's daytime, there's an internal darkness that needs fulfillment.
I'll fulfil your needs
The singer pledges to meet the emotional needs of someone else.
Your brightness is me
Your radiance or positivity is a part of me.
When the neighbour's ear
When someone nearby is eavesdropping or listening.
Is against the wall
A sense of invasion or intrusion into privacy.
Light dad's cigarette
Figuratively lighting a cigarette till something beautiful fades or dies.
Till your beauty is dead
Until your attractiveness or allure diminishes.
Have you gone
Are you no longer present?
Outside this late
Questioning the presence of someone outside at this late hour.
Have the burns been cooled
Asking if the injuries or hurts have been soothed from the mist or confusion around.
From the fog against your face
Referencing injuries or discomfort caused by fog or confusion.
Have you gone
Reiteration of absence or departure.
Outside this late
Similar to line 10, questioning presence outside at this time.
Have the burns been cooled
Repeating line 11, inquiring about soothing the hurts from confusion.
From the fog against your face
Reiterating the reference to injuries or discomfort from confusion.
I am all you have
Assertion of being the sole support or presence for someone.
Make it stay that way
Desire for this situation to remain unchanged.
Screaming for their help
Crying out for assistance or aid from others.
Won't take you away
Refusing to let others take away the person in need.
When the neighbour's ear
Reiteration of someone eavesdropping or listening nearby.
Is against the wall
Implies extinguishing something unpleasant or harmful on your own.
Suffocate the fag
Putting an end to something negative or harmful.
Put it off yourself
Taking control of stopping something detrimental.
Have you gone
Repeating the question about being outside at this late hour.
Outside this late
Asking if the hurts have been alleviated from the confusion.
Have the burns been cooled
Referencing injuries or discomfort caused by fog or confusion.
From the fog against your face
Repeating the reference to injuries or discomfort from confusion.
I have gone
Statement of personal experience enduring difficult circumstances.
Through mud and piss and snow
Describing having gone through extremely challenging situations.
At your sound
Suggesting a reaction to the other person's presence or sound.
I folded on my bones
Metaphorically collapsing or giving in because of the other person's impact.
Have you gone
Similar to lines 9 and 13, asking about absence or departure.
Outside this late
Parallel to lines 10 and 14, questioning presence outside at this time.
Have the burns been cooled
Reiterating the inquiry about soothing hurts from confusion.
From the fog against your face
Repeating the reference to injuries or discomfort from confusion.
Have you gone
Reiterating the question about being outside at this late hour.
Outside this late
Repeating the inquiry about soothing hurts from confusion.
Have the burns been cooled
Repeating the reference to injuries or discomfort from confusion.
From the fog against your face
Reiterating the reference to injuries or discomfort from confusion.
