Enon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dripping like a leaky faucet
And i dated summer
From the flock of another shoe
But it's not a thought of you
Just a piece you eat or chew
Thinking i've never felt so new
Your reflection full of candy
I see a doorway
A corridor was barely lit
And i fall from faraway
Gleaming sun antagonist
Parades of sound from nowhere new
Sack of women's seams are blue
Multiply, they're for you to choose
Over sweet to eat amiss
No one could refuse a candy
When all our thoughts were innocent
My teeth took all the blame
With all the salts and dissolutes
The taste has gone to shame
It's way out of turn
Our sense burn
I taste your kiss all over the world
Of candy
The lyrics to Enon's song "Candy" are metaphorical and dreamlike in nature, evoking images and sensations that are both strange and vivid. The opening lines describe the singer's communications as "fluid," which sets the tone for the rest of the stanza: "dripping like a leaky faucet." This image is not only a metaphor for language, but also for the singer's emotional state, which seems to be constantly seeping out of them. The next line, "and I dated summer/from the flock of another shoe" suggests a kind of romantic entanglement that has left the singer feeling disconnected and disoriented. Yet in spite of this, they seem to be experiencing a sense of renewal, feeling new and refreshed. The final line of the stanza, "your reflection full of candy," is a cryptic image that hints at both sweetness and deception.
The second stanza continues in this same dreamlike vein, describing a "corridor" that is "barely lit." The imagery is intentionally vague and eerie, conjuring up a sense of unease and foreboding. The lines "parades of sound from nowhere new" and "sack of women's seams are blue" are similarly disorienting, suggesting a world that is unfamiliar and uncanny. Yet despite these unsettling images, the singer seems to be drawn to something irresistibly sweet: "never seemed to knew you knew/Over sweet to eat amiss/No one could refuse a candy."
Taken together, the lyrics to "Candy" suggest a complicated emotional landscape that is both confusing and intriguing. The singer grapples with feelings of disconnection and longing, yet remains drawn to something bright and sweet that promises to offer relief.
Line by Line Meaning
I speak in fluid
I communicate in a smooth manner
Dripping like a leaky faucet
My words flow consistently and steadily
And i dated summer
I had a romantic relationship with the season of summer
From the flock of another shoe
With someone else who I no longer associate with
But it's not a thought of you
I'm not thinking about you
Just a piece you eat or chew
You're just like candy, something to be consumed and enjoyed
Thinking i've never felt so new
I feel rejuvenated by the situation
Never seemed to knew you knew
You never appeared to know the real me
Your reflection full of candy
You have a sweet and enticing appearance
I see a doorway
I envision a path ahead
A corridor was barely lit
The path is not clear, and there are obstacles ahead
And i fall from faraway
I'm falling from a distance, possibly from grace
Gleaming sun antagonist
The sun is shining brightly, yet also acting as a foe or obstacle
Parades of sound from nowhere new
There are unfamiliar and overwhelming sounds coming from an unknown source
Sack of women's seams are blue
There are women around me who are sad and feeling down
Multiply, they're for you to choose
There are many options, and it's up to you to make a decision
Over sweet to eat amiss
Even though the options seem appealing, there could be a hidden negative aspect
No one could refuse a candy
There is an irresistible temptation to indulge
When all our thoughts were innocent
Back when we were young and naive
My teeth took all the blame
My obsession with sweet things has caused dental problems
With all the salts and dissolutes
I'm consuming too much sugar and processed foods
The taste has gone to shame
The indulgence is no longer pleasurable, it has become shameful
It's way out of turn
The situation has gone too far from where it should be
Our sense burn
Our senses are overwhelmed and unable to handle the situation
I taste your kiss all over the world
The memory of your kiss is so prevalent that it's felt everywhere
Of candy
The sweet temptation of indulgence

on Knock That Door
Yup... just another good song by Enon. But wait! This song is an all-time great. I searched Enon on Spotify, and I knew all the top 5 most popular songs but this one. I knew and liked all the other top 5 Enon songs, so I just listened to this and didn't begin to regret it.

on Spanish Boots
Opportunity nooses than hang beyond the shade(?)
Machiavellian stooges that feign whatever's said
South Floridian ruses with nothing left to sell
Polynesian(?) amusements that fall under the spell
Having the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same kind of aim
At the game dealt
And mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Vanished loot are the riches
That lay upon the breast
Spanish Boots for the witches
That kiss before the test
Gotta loom on the fixes
Bare waste and so severe
Minor shoots at the pieces
Lies burnt to stay, oh it's all so in vain
That it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
