"Luscious, luminous, lilting lullabies" is how the New York Times describes songs by Lucius, a five-piece band from Brooklyn, NY.
At the center of Lucius are the "alluring and magnetic" (Seventeen) singers-in-unison, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. After graduating from Boston’s Berklee School of Music, the two young friends and collaborators moved into an old Victorian house in Brooklyn’s Ditmas Park – a former recording studio and music school. The four-story musical fortress, rife with left-behind musical treasures, housed many musician friends including, eventually, Wolfe and Laessig’s future bandmates, Danny Molad, Peter Lalish and Andrew Burri.
“When we were ready to make our record we felt it was imperative it reflected the synergy that Holly and I feel so strongly in our personal and musical relationship,” said Wolfe. The resulting songs are stories told from the same perspective, sung at the same time, with the same sentiment; two voices as one.
The quintet’s self-titled debut EP was recorded and produced in the Ditmas Park house where the band was formed. Their full length album is due for release Autumn 2013.
Don't Just Sit There
Lucius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what I wanna know
What I wanna know
Don't just sit there
Tell me what I wanna know
What I wanna know
Have you found love?
Did you find love again?
Did you find love?
Have you found love?
Did you find love again?
In my heart I know this
In my heart I know this
It's true
The lyrics of Lucius's song "Don't Just Sit There" are simple, yet emotionally charged. The song appears to be a plea or a request directed towards someone to open up and share what they have been unable to. The repeated line "Don't just sit there, tell me what I wanna know" conveys a sense of urgency, almost bordering on desperation. The lyrics hint at a longing for connection and the desire to understand and know the person better.
The repeated question, "Did you find love?" and variations of it suggest that the person in question might have gone through a romantic relationship or a breakup. The lines "Did you find love again?" implies that the person might have gone through heartbreak and might have given up on love entirely. The lines indicate a sense of concern and empathy for the person, with a desire to reconnect and build a deeper bond.
In essence, the song seems to be about the challenges that come with relationships and communication, and the importance of honesty and vulnerability. The song urges people to share their experiences and feelings, even if it feels uncomfortable or difficult. The repeated line, "In my heart, I know this, It's true" seems to convey a sense of affirmation, that even if the truth might be hard to hear, it is better than living in uncertainty and disconnectedness.

The thing I adore about this song is how it portrays the awkward conversation between to ex-lovers and the woman keeps asking whether her old lover finally moved on. She wants him to tell her he did so she has a reason to move on too.

Why i screamed and cried when i saw them, maybe 1 week after hearing of them. My ex was still living here, yet going out every night and with various individuals. Now i haven't heard from her in weeks and im exceptionally close to myself and no longer attached to her. Thanks for sharing what I felt this was about too.
