Techno Love Song
CocoRosie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jail bird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep even when you're not there
Rainbows wept colour all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
Lip stick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears

This song digs into me in a way I can't understand. It makes me feel something between melancholy, nostalgia and, strangely, joy. It sounds like watching someone else's childhood memories on a clattering reel of film, but intimately feeling them as if they were my own.

@alvarowwx

Oh wow that was an incredible precise description of how I feel too, for a lot of CR songs. I'm almost crying while smiling

@kealanadmire4075

I feel that alot with them too, I've never had that with anything else.

@lunastar2506

Just wow 😭❤

@dirtysanchez941

I just found them! I'm so happy. I read that the reason she sings, and writes "childlike" song's is because it's from a child's point of view. These two sisters have a very interesting background. I love them even more. This is why I am connecting to their music. It's hitting me straight in the feels. It's giving me life. 💞

@micknope3598

Still my favorite cocorosie song :')

@Utopia1420

"I watch you when you sleep, even when you're not there." 

I dunno, that line is so haunting. Like the epitome of devotion/crazy. I love this song so much.
