Robbery
Lime Cordiale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found a diamond in the darkest mine
We started speaking, small talking
Tip toe over the borderline
She left her lipstick on my cheek
I turn around, she vanished in a blink
She home to me, and I can barely sleep
Hey! There's been a robbery
She stole my heart and then took off on me
I said hey, there's been a robbery
She stole my heart, she had enough of me
Everywhere I go, everywhere I go
I put up wanted signs
I said hey, there's been a robbery
I guess I'll never, I'll never know
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
I've got a fever, a cold sweating
It's hard to make it through the day to day
Empty handed, right where you left me
A ciggie's filling up the ash tray
Still got her lipstick on my cheek
I turn around, she vanished in a blink
She home to me, and I can barely sleep
I'm lookin' for, wait that's her, stop that girl
Hey! There's been a robbery
She stole my heart and then took off on me
I said hey, there's been a robbery
She stole my heart, she had enough of me
Everywhere I go, everywhere I go
I put up wanted signs
I said hey, there's been a robbery
I guess I'll never, yeah I'll never know
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
She got her lipstick on my cheek
She vanished in a blink
And I can barely sleep
Mm, yeah
Still got her lipstick on my cheek
I turn around, she vanished in a blink
She home to me, and I can barely sleep
Yeah, wait that's her, stop that girl
Hey! There's been a robbery
She stole my heart and then took off on me
I said hey, there's been a robbery
She stole my heart, she had enough of me
Everywhere I go, everywhere I go
I put up wanted signs
Hey, there's been a robbery
I guess I'll never, yeah I'll never know
Who you are
Who you are
Yeah, I'll never know who you are
Who you are
Yeah, I'll never know who you are
Who you are
Yeah, I'll never know who you are
Who you are
I'll never know
"Robbery" by Lime Cordiale is a melancholic love song that describes the aftermath of a fleeting encounter that left a deep emotional impact on the singer. The song starts with the singer finding something valuable or precious in a socially or emotionally dark place, symbolizing he found the person he fell in love with. They began to talk and treaded a fine line that separated them culturally or socially, suggesting that they came from different backgrounds. The woman left her lipstick on the singer's cheek, signifying the physical chemistry and intimacy they shared. But, in a blink of an eye, she vanished, leaving him yearning and restless.
The chorus of the song has a catchy hook that memorializes his emotional heist, metaphorically. The singer declares that his heart robbed by the woman he met, and now he is unable to find her. The rest of the lyrics in the song explain how he's struggling to come to terms with his loss and looking for her everywhere. The lines, "I've got a fever, a cold sweating. It's hard to make it through the day to day," paint a picture of his emotional distress and the sense of emptiness he's feeling. He puts up "wanted signs" everywhere he goes, indicating his relentless search for the woman who robbed his heart. The song ends with a sense of defeat as he declares that he'll never find her and never know who she is.
In summary, "Robbery" is a poignant song about a fleeting romantic encounter that leaves a deep impact on the singer. The metaphorical language and catchy hook of the song make it a memorable piece.

Empty handed, right where you left me
Feeling stranded and alone without the person who left, who may have been a source of support or comfort
A ciggie's filling up the ash tray
Using a vice, such as smoking, to cope with difficult emotions or stress
Mm, yeah
Expressing agreement, acknowledgement or understanding
Still got her lipstick on my cheek
Holding onto the memory of the person who left, even if in a small or fleeting way
I guess I'll never, yeah I'll never know
Acknowledging the fact that not having closure or answers can be a difficult reality to accept
