Kerosene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And here’s the best of what I want
So who can run on lapse
From here to kerosene and back
It’s a subtle tact
Cos for once I’m feeling fine
Drink kerosene and laugh
And rejoice in all we left behind
You said, You said, You said you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don’t you just drop
I said why don't you just drop dead?
So here’s my attempt at playing cards
I’m still alone in crashing cars
We’re still smiling when it’s on
And I can’t be the only one
To save some common sense
For the feelings that I vent
I’m home at last
We drink kerosene and laugh
You said, You said, You said that you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don't you just drop
I said why don't you just drop dead?
You said, You said, You said that you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don't you just drop
I said why don't you just drop dead?
The opening verses of Kerosene's song "Kerosene" feature a contrast between the past and the present. The first line "So here's the last of what I was" suggests that the singer is shedding her old self and moving towards a new identity. This is followed by "And here's the best of what I want," which implies that the singer is looking forward to the future with hope and optimism. The next line "So who can run on lapse" is cryptic, but seems to reference a sense of distance from what has been left behind. However, the final line in this verse brings everything back to the present by referring to "kerosene", creating a sonic symmetry with the song's title.
The second verse begins with the singer pushing back against an ex-lover's desire to reconnect. She rejects their attempts to maintain a relationship and instead offers a callous suggestion that they "drop dead". The third verse offers more insight into the singer's current state of mind, which seems to be characterized by a sense of isolation and alienation from others. The line "I'm still alone in crashing cars" suggests that the singer is struggling to connect with anyone else and is perhaps causing harm to herself in the process.
Throughout the song, there are references to drinking kerosene, which is both a literal and metaphorical device. On one hand, drinking kerosene would be incredibly harmful and dangerous, but on the other hand, it could be seen as a way of embracing destruction and chaos as a means of moving forward. Overall, the lyrics of "Kerosene" suggest a search for identity and a willingness to let go of the past, even if it means causing harm in the process.

Lyrics:
Light of God dimming weak
Nothing's wrong, go back to sleep
Lost the will at infancy
Drown them in charity
Lend them comfort for sorrow
Enthusiasm they borrow
I can clean impurity
Wash away with kerosene
Can't offend my modesty
Thank you for defiling me
Language pure as binary
Instruct with dishonesty
In nature there's no tragedy
Bandage them in tapestry
Trade comfort for identity
Drown me in kerosene
Ke-Kerosene
I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
Kero-Kerosene
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
I'll protect you from
All the things I've seen
