To Kingdom Come
Whispers of God and Princely Peels: Passion Pit's Enigmatic Reflection
Lyrics
That's a frosty way to speak,
Expressing disapproval or criticism in a cold manner.
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri
Commenting on the unpleasantness of being instructed on how to live near fragrant dried flowers.
All this talking pulls my teeth.
Communication is causing discomfort or difficulty.
I believed in you, so you believed in
Mutual belief in each other, possibly in the context of a relationship.
Me, I cried out God
The speaker expressing a cry to God.
You dared me in the dark
A challenge or provocation from someone in the darkness.
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
A quiet interruption or pause felt after the speaker's inner spark.
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
Seeking refuge or hiding amidst discarded orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
Describing an emotional experience consistent with previous expectations.
Once I had an name to call you.
Referring to a time when there was a specific name to address the other person.
It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint.
Comparing the scraping sound of the name to that of an orthodox saint.
I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out.
Expressing a desire for familiar things that evoke intense emotions.
Hearing is a strain, it's a game!
Hearing is challenging, possibly in the context of strained communication.
Me, I cried out "God"
Repetition of the cry to God, emphasizing the emotional state of the speaker.
You dared me in the dark
A repeated challenge or provocation, possibly highlighting a recurring theme.
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
Reiteration of a hush falling after an inner spark, indicating a repeated experience.
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
Continued hiding or seeking refuge in discarded orange peels.
It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel
Reiteration of the emotional experience aligning with previous expectations.
Never have I ever been
Expressing a lack of certain experiences or states in the past.
Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,
Describing an unusual state of trying to remedy someone's sin by holding their hair.
But that's the kind of state I'm in:
Describing the current emotional state as being in such a peculiar condition.
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine.
Immersed in a metaphorical pool of divine medicine.
Come, come, I hear it calling me, yelling,
A call to come, possibly referring to an inner or external urging.
Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again.
A comparison of someone capable of making things heavy again, implying a significant influence.
Feel alive!
An encouragement to feel alive, possibly in response to the mentioned influence.
