In Cure
Ed Tullett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come
All south along
All summers long
For deviate to be

Drawn
To meet, belong
To keel, gone
For beauty bared at me

Worn
A peace, at length
Heart pleated, strength
Your ruby bitten

Trawl
In capture's awe
New tremble's claw
I'll always shake

A burn of breath, young vapour ties
A touch of mist slid upper thigh
Paler flight
Veiled white
Skying sight

Quiver in vespers
Your willow paints
A hushed guided hollow
You had handsome aches

Cloaked by your double
Your haze had no end
We would wash all in levels
And in reverie send

Quiver in vespers
Your willow paints
A hushed guided hollow
You had handsome aches

Cloaked by your double
Your haze had no end




We would wash all in levels
And in reverie send

Line by Line Meaning

Come
Let's begin


All south along
We'll travel south


All summers long
During the warm months


For deviate to be
To change from the norm


Drawn
Compelled forward


To meet, belong
To join with others


To keel, gone
To fall and disappear


For beauty bared at me
By the overwhelming beauty before me


Worn
Tired and exhausted


A peace, at length
Finally, a state of peace


Heart pleated, strength
Calm and strong


Your ruby bitten
Your lips are red


Trawl
To search and explore


In capture's awe
Amazed by what's been found


New tremble's claw
The fear and excitement of something new


I'll always shake
I'll always feel this way


A burn of breath, young vapour ties
The heat of our breaths mingling


A touch of mist slid upper thigh
The feeling of a cool mist on our skin


Paler flight
Going away


Veiled white
Hiding behind a white curtain


Skying sight
A view of the sky


Quiver in vespers
Trembling in the night prayers


Your willow paints
Your slender body moves gracefully


A hushed guided hollow
A quiet and serene place


You had handsome aches
You had a beauty that was also painful


Cloaked by your double
Hidden by your own reflection


Your haze had no end
Your confusion seemed endless


We would wash all in levels
We would cleanse ourselves completely


And in reverie send
And be lost in our thoughts
