In 2009 Vallesteros began experimenting with simple synth and guitar lines, gradually layering them to create the sound that would become Craft Spells.[1] After signing with Captured Tracks, the band released their debut full-length, Idle Labor, in early 2011 and went on tour with Beach Fossils.[2] The album was described as a soft, synthy, dreamy compendium of new wave music and 80s pop similar to New Order with Vallesteros' voice style sounding like Ian Curtis.[3][4]
The band's next EP, Gallery, was released on 2012. It was followed by their second LP, Nausea on 2014.
Your Tomb
Craft Spells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had enough of you
Cause i'm tired of playing the fool
Not another kiss from you
I'll throw a rose to cover up your face
Cause i'm tired of waiting for you
You're the reason that i had lost faith
In dreams of dreams i can't live in
I want to run from the rumors that are true
You want to run from the rumors that are true
Don't be so rude,
I've had enough of you
Cause i'm tired of feeling confused
Not another kiss from you
I'll throw a rose to celebrate your end
But when you rise from the dead
I will love you again
The lyrics of "Your Tomb" by Craft Spells seem to be about a toxic relationship that has finally come to an end. The singer expresses their frustration and exhaustion with the way their partner has treated them. The line "I've had enough of you" is repeated twice, emphasizing the singer's final decision to walk away from the relationship. They're tired of playing the fool and feeling confused, and they no longer want any kisses from their partner.
The imagery of throwing a rose to cover up the partner's face and celebrate their end suggests a final goodbye, a way of burying the past and moving on. The singer acknowledges that they had lost faith because of this relationship, that the dreams they had could no longer exist as they were. The final lines of the song "But when you rise from the dead, I will love you again" show that despite the pain and frustration, the love for this person still remains, even if it can only be rekindled when the relationship is entirely different.
Overall, the lyrics of "Your Tomb" express a mixture of emotions that come with ending a toxic relationship: frustration, exhaustion, sadness, and a glimmer of hope for a better future.

Into your tomb,
I no longer want to be a part of your life
I've had enough of you
I can no longer tolerate your presence in my life
Cause i'm tired of playing the fool
I am done with being deceived and feeling foolish
Not another kiss from you
I do not want any more false expressions of love from you
I'll throw a rose to cover up your face
I will put an end to our relationship in a peaceful manner
Cause i'm tired of waiting for you
I am past the point of waiting for things to change
You're the reason that i had lost faith
You have caused me to feel disillusioned and hopeless
In dreams of dreams i can't live in
I cannot continue to exist in a fantasy world
I want to run from the rumors that are true
I want to escape the harsh reality of our situation
You want to run from the rumors that are true
You are also struggling to face our reality
Don't be so rude,
I am asking for a respectful separation
Cause i'm tired of feeling confused
I am done with feeling lost and unsure about us
I'll throw a rose to celebrate your end
I will celebrate the end of our relationship with a gesture of closure
But when you rise from the dead
If you come back into my life
I will love you again
I am open to the possibility of reconciliation

This song makes me miss girls I haven't even met yet

This song is pretty much about him leaving a girl, because he's fed up with her behavior and he's realizing that he can't live in dreams that his romantic self has made up. That reality is often different and you eventually have to face it. So how does this make you miss girls? If anything, then it should serve as an example of how toxic relationships can get and that we have to be really careful when dealing with romantic feelings.
