Cigarette After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees, oh please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye
Ooh-oh, when you're all alone, I will reach for you
When you're feeling low, I will be there, too

APOCALYPSE
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why
Got the music in you baby,
Tell me why
You’ve been locked in here forever & you just can’t say goodbye
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark…
Your lips,
My lips,
Apocalypse
Go & sneak us through the rivers,
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh please…
Come out & haunt me
I know you want me
Come out & haunt me
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist…
When you’re all alone
I will reach for you
When you’re feeling low
I will be there too

I'm doing it right now too for the first time.. it feels foreign but good
I see the world with different eyes
I react different
I have more self confidence
I am not that shy anymore
I choose myself
I try to be selfish when it's needed
I try to voice out my voice and I actually am getting more respected too.. maybe because I started to respect myself too?
Thanks for writing this comment
