Special
Mona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you straight
Look into my eyes
You know what i say

The burning of those ends
Candles in the night
I aint got no shame
Now tell me where else would you go
In the morning we can fight
In the shadows of ourselfs
A job is just a job
Stay a little while

Leave but i know that you want it
Cause so am i
I know the morning is calling
For allibies
Let them that be your corrier
From time to time

Leave but i know that you want it
Cause so am i

Oh if we could be on and on we said
And never turn it off
When the spirit it moves me into you
Let's see what we got

Show yourself the way i wanna see
It's feeling like a crime
Lock me up for good
Throw away the key
I'll do the time

Just let it go
And stay a while
No one will know
What's on our minds
Just let it go
Stay a little while
Just let it go

2x
Leave but i know that you want it
Cause so am i
I know the morning is calling
For allibies
Let them that be your corrier
From time to time




Leave but i know that you want it
Cause so am i

The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, a desire to capture the moment before it is lost forever, and a willingness to face the consequences of their actions.


The repeated phrase "leave but I know that you want it, cause so am I" suggests that both parties are willing participants in this love affair, even if they know that it is not a good idea. The imagery of burning candles in the night and the shadows of ourselves implies secrecy and hiding, but also the potential for passion and intensity. Overall, the lyrics of "Special" express a complicated longing for love and connection, tempered by the fear of what might happen if they give in to those desires.
