Flux Pavilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heavy with shadow it stares
Your eyes adjust to the dark
All the eastern girls are wondering back from St. Martins
Skin all pale
I'm sold out in every department
Got nothing left for the world
Eyes won't adjust to the light
But all the eastern girls
They arrive like a king's pardon
To the sound of bells
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb
Night falls in and the skyline hardens
Colours dissolving untill
Faces are lost among the stars
All the eastern girls are like stars as the night sharpens
They remind me of
Oh let's just wait and see if we take things too far
I think we should wait and see how we feel apart
Did i mean that or didn't i?
Did i know what i was saying?
One decade down and i just.
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb
Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
But you took my life in your hands
All the eastern girls passing by
All the eastern girls remind me that
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
Shalalalalalalalalalala
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb
Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
When you took my life in your hands
The lyrics of Flux Pavilion's song "Chapel Club" are open for interpretation. One way to interpret it is as a portrayal of the singer's internal struggles as he is gaining insight into himself and his relationships. The opening lines, "My mind is a night garden, heavy with shadow it stares," suggest that the singer's mind is clouded with darkness and he is struggling to find clarity. The metaphorical language continues with "All the eastern girls are wondering back from St. Martins, skin all pale," which can be interpreted as a nod to his experiences with relationships, love, and the unresolved conflicts that come with them.
The song continues to illustrate the singer's difficulties in finding his place in the world, "I'm sold out in every department, got nothing left for the world. Eyes won't adjust to the light." He then mentions the "eastern girls" again, this time referring to them as a "king's pardon to the sound of bells." This could be seen as the singer finding comfort in the beauty of the world and with new relationships.
The song seems to ask more questions than it answers, "Did I mean that or didn't I? Did I know what I was saying? One decade down and I just," perhaps reflecting the singer’s confusion about his true feelings. The chorus repeats the declaration, "This is a love song," suggesting that the singer is still grappling with the idea of love and if he is capable of giving it or if he is deserving of it.

My mind is a night garden
My thoughts are dark and complex
Heavy with shadow it stares
My mind is brooding and intense
Your eyes adjust to the dark
You are becoming familiar with my darkness
All the eastern girls are wondering back from St. Martins
Women from foreign places are returning from academic pursuits
Skin all pale
Their skin is light, and unblemished
I'm sold out in every department
I have nothing left to give to this world
Got nothing left for the world
I am empty and devoid of feeling
Eyes won't adjust to the light
I am blind to the positive aspects of life
But all the eastern girls
However, foreign women
They arrive like a king's pardon
Are like a reprieve for me
To the sound of bells
Introducing a sense of purity and peace
Only just getting to know you
I am just beginning to understand you
Running the flag up to claim it
Asserting my dominance in the relationship
Acted like I was your saviour
Trying to be your protector and provider
The shepard instead of the lamb
Trying to take control of our relationship rather than being submissive
Night falls in and the skyline hardens
As night comes, the city becomes more unwelcoming
Colours dissolving until
The vibrancy of the day fades into obscurity
Faces are lost among the stars
People become just another element of the city as it comes alive at night
All the eastern girls are like stars as the night sharpens
The foreign women shine like stars amidst the darkness
They remind me of
Foreign women bring to mind
Oh let's just wait and see if we take things too far
Let's not rush the relationship, we'll see where it goes
I think we should wait and see how we feel apart
Perhaps it's best if we spend some time apart to understand our emotions
Did i mean that or didn't i?
I am questioning my own sincerity in these thoughts
Did i know what i was saying?
I am uncertain if my words hold any truth
One decade down and i just.
After years of indecision, I am still unsure of my feelings
Been walking around with my eyes closed
I have been oblivious to my surroundings
Keeping away from your windows
Avoiding the things that I desire
Fearful eviction horizons
Worried that I will lose everything I have
But you took my life in your hands
You became the salvation that I needed
This is a love song
This song is about the intense feeling we have for each other
