Lyrics
Soft velvet and candle light
Setting the scene with comfortable, luxurious elements and hidden fears
Little fears that you keep inside
Internal anxieties or worries kept private
Everything that was there before
Referencing past experiences or memories
Well it feels just like a fantasy
Experiencing something surreal or unreal
You don't keep desire on high display
Not openly displaying one's desires
Young slave and her Mary Kay
A metaphorical reference, possibly about societal expectations and beauty standards
Held you up on st. Andy's cross
Feeling burdened or judged by societal or religious standards
And it feels just like a dream, you said
Perceiving an experience as dreamlike or unreal
All my friends all my enemies
Observing people around, regardless of their roles or affiliations, and feeling liberated from desires
All left up down in front of me
-All red white oh so good to be
-Free from every desire
-Black sheets cover morning light
Metaphorically concealing truths or past experiences
Old secrets that never die
References to enduring secrets
And all the shame that was there before
Recalling feelings of shame from the past
Well it feels just like my fantasy
Feeling a surreal or unreal sensation similar to a fantasy
When I was on my knees well then where were you
Reflecting on vulnerability, abandonment, and the unreliability of others
Trading places for someone new
-And every time you come crawling down
-Well it feels just like a dream, you said
-All my friends all my enemies
Reiteration of the feeling of freedom from desires while observing people around
All tied up down in front of me
-All red white oh so good to be
-Free from every desire
-All my friends all my enemies
-All left up down in front of me
-All red white oh so good to be
-Free from every desire
-What would I lie for?
Rhetorical questioning about the motivation to lie
What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie for?
-What would I lie
