Fur Lined
How to Destroy Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel it taking hold
Now I am an animal
Now I am a chemical
Once again
And you caught me through the crack
Everything is right on track
I am never coming back
Again and again and again
Everything
Everything is tickling
Is this really happening?
Again and again and again

Close enough to feel the flame
I can push it through the pain
And it was everything
Again and again and again

I don't want to lose control
I am just an animal
Just a fucking chemical
Once again and again and again

Everything
Everything is tickling
Is this really happening?
Again and again and again

Everything
Everything is tickling




I keep coming back again
Again and again

Overall Meaning

The line "Close enough to feel the flame" suggests that the singer is dangerously close to crossing a line and losing control, but can still push through it.

Overall, the lyrics of "Fur Lined" examine the struggle between control and surrender to primal desires, with a haunting and hypnotic tone that captures the cyclical nature of these emotions.
