Stadiums and Shrines II
Lifting Shadows in Stadiums: A Dark Tale Unveiled
Lyrics
Can I lift my dress up for you?
Expression of willingness to reveal oneself emotionally or physically.
Can I lift it in the night?
Asking if it's acceptable to reveal oneself during the night.
White undersides of my thighs look much better
Describing the aesthetics of the hidden parts of the speaker's body.
In the dark light
Suggesting that the obscured details are more appealing in low light.
There's a kid in there
Referring to a younger, inexperienced, or naive aspect of the speaker.
And he's big and dumb
Characterizing the inner, less mature self as large and unintelligent.
And he's kinda scared, and he's
Indicating fear or discomfort within the inner self.
Well, he's too old to be there
Commenting on the speaker's emotional state and feeling out of place.
He's just looking for a light
Suggesting a quest for understanding or enlightenment.
And I'll lift it to the ceiling tiles
Extending the metaphor of revealing oneself to a larger audience or space.
Of stadiums and shrines
Referring to grandiose places that symbolize significance and worship.
If you see something to cheer about
Offering to share something noteworthy or celebratory.
I'll tell you that it's mine
Claiming ownership or authorship of the shared experience or achievement.
I'm sorry that your mother died
Expressing sympathy for a loss but denying responsibility.
But that one wasn't my fault
Acknowledging a death but distancing oneself from the blame.
I'm sorry anybody dies at all these days
Expressing general sorrow about the prevalence of death in contemporary times.
So hold out all your knives away from my eyes
Requesting to keep harmful intentions or actions away from the speaker.
Hold out all your knives away from my eyes
Reiterating the plea for safety and protection from potential harm.
