Lilacs Lyrics

Wait and see
Be patient and wait; observe how we are capable of feeling empty

How empty we can be
We are capable of feeling hollow and meaningless

Hand in hand
Holding hands while running, like grains of sand slipping between fingers

Running like the sand
Moving quickly through a tangible material that slips away easily

And if the sound of waves
If a calming sound like waves becomes emotions releasing, like a lake of tears

Becomes a lake of tears
Transforms into a source of intense emotions, like tears

Oh your arcane lies are over now
Your mysterious and secretive false statements are finished now

Banaler now and older still
Even more uninteresting and mundane now, as time passes

And your princeling siblings
Your younger family members who believe they are royalty

Take their pills
Consume their medication

Wear their thrills
Display their excitement on the outside

And younger than
Younger than you, since you have grown up

They spool on to the part
They continue watching a scene of a movie that plays out

Where he takes her to the park
A part of the movie where he brings her to the park

And they ride home in the dark
They return home on a milk float, driving through the darkness

On a milk float
Riding back on a small truck like vehicle used for delivering milk bottles

If they would not give in
If they did not submit to

To the sentimental spin
To the emotional use of popular songs

Of the juke box jive
Of the lively music played from a jukebox

They grew up with
They were raised within this music culture

Underground
Travelling below the surface of the ground

I'm going underground
Going somewhere beneath the surface of the ground

Over you
Because of your influence, or due to your presence

Bakerloo
A tube line in London

I'm goign home on you
Going back home by using the Bakerloo tube line

She kissed me with her eyes
She showed me with her eyes how she was in love with me

While she told me lies
Yet she still continued to lie to me
