Recharge & Revolt
♫ The Raveonettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a hole in my head I looked for you
Through the trenches of war the whole world through
My desire to leave with you I just can’t constrain

I regret everything I’ve done so far
When the pillars of love are all blown apart
I stumble through the rubble and decay
When I’m terrified I close my eyes
When I’m sad and blue I choose to fight
Heartbreak only can take you to the other side

My impression of you is hard to comprehend
When two people have no time to spend
You’re the dreamiest girl that ever entered my life

The bliss I feel knowing you’re delirious
Makes me feel oh so imperious
When the longing comes I’ll fight it till the end

When all broken dreams are glued back together
And there’s nothing to talk about not even the weather
And all rivals are all laid to rest

With impunity I silently reach for you
With a scarecrow shiver and the corn fields too
I've reached my pivotal turning with you
When the pink fluorescent feeling does subside
And your perfume lingers purely in my mind
I'm fit to leave this war behind

I recharge and revolt
My time has come
And I'm tempted to duel
Even the sun




I'll dash the flames
And kill it with my gun
