Tell Me What to Swallow
Crystal Castles Lyrics

Through the walking, through me
I know he'd never hurt me
Daddy watched me sleeping
And pray silently

Daddy's let me sleepwalk
Without him I am secure
The only girl he'd never hurt
The one who smells so pure

When I first heard this song, I never really thought much of it. But, one day this song came up on my car radio during the winter. It was early in the morning and the sky was a blue haze with strong snow coming down. It touched me in a way, I don't know. Trying to get through that blizzard, this song was almost a guide to keep going.

To all of you who have a parent who left you, please know that he/she is the one who was incapable, he/she is the one who missed out. There are people in the world out there for you; family is not only blood. Peace.

After reading Alice's blog about the abuse Keith put her through, my initial reaction was,"TELL ME WHAT TO SWALLOW MUST BE ABOUT THE ABUSE!" I'm so heartbroken by this.

I think she made the whole thing up

I don't think what means about a normal relation of love between father and daughter.I understood the song as if it were pedophilia.

@guauguau It seems like she made it up

agus I always thought the same thing I just couldn’t relate to being so infatuated by it like everyone else. When I hear it now the feeling towards the song knowing what happened with Alice is even worse.

wow i didnt remember i posted this. its so sad that (maybe) actually this song has a meaning related to the toxic relationship alice and ethan used to have and the physical and emotional abuse she suffered in crystal castles :/

This is like a Crystal Castles take on a Grouper song

These are the exact lyrics: Through the wall he thew me I knew he'd never hurt me Daddy watch me sleeping (I pray for you silently) Daddy's love makes me whole With it I am insecure The only girl he'd ever (love is the one who smells so pure) this song, no matter what my mood is, brings me to tears every time I hear it, and not once was I able to figure out why.

This is the first song I heard Alice sing acoustically and also use whispers, this is so beautiful.

If I could I would edit this song to be seven minutes long. It's so beautiful and ethereal I can't take that it's so short. Putting it on repeat doesn't do it justice.

this songs makes me think about how can people be chained to a relation just because they're so used to it, even if its all about physical hurt, or agression.

ive found sometimes with songs that sound so expressive, the best way is to keep em short cause if its too long, people get more bored with more listens much easier, but if its short, keeps you wanting more of it, does for me anyway.

This song was always really interesting to me. Sounds absolutely nothing like their other stuff, but it's still good.

It is simillar in my opinion to the theme of old series about Twin Peaks Town from 80s or 90s

Now in Alice Glass's song "Without Love" she sings "Don't tell me what to swallow"
scary and sad considering her statement. Whether its true or not, this really touches me.

Something tells me that this specific song is very ahead of its time. I can imagine some artist in 40 years mentioning how much this influenced their sound
