May Seem Macabre
Peter Bjorn and John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes should be fully, your hairs come straight, we are both washed clean
We're paying golden dry that under best to make escort in style
May seem macabre but it's beautiful
(But it's beautiful, but it's beautiful, but it's beautiful
But it's beautiful, but it's beautiful, but it's beautiful)
If the body ??? so, they are homeless, now circus over us
Scorning is just lying tangle and never felt this home when I next to you
May seem macabre but it's beautiful
(But it's beautiful, but it's beautiful, but it's beautiful
But it's beautiful, but it's beautiful, but it's beautiful)
Your eye from better, are mothers talk cause if they were best friends
May seem macabre but too high to there
May sleep in sea far, may sleep in sea far
The lyrics to "May Seem Macabre" by Peter Bjorn and John tell a somewhat cryptic story of two individuals who seem to be coming down from a long night of partying. The opening lines suggest that they are both drained, with misty eyes and hair that is straight. Despite this weariness, they are making an effort to look their best and continue on with their night. The mention of "paying golden dry" suggests that they are spending money to maintain their image and have a good time.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "May seem macabre but it's beautiful." This suggests that the actions of the two protagonists may appear troubling or dark, but to them, it is simply a part of the beauty of life. The lines "If the body ??? so, they are homeless, now circus over us" suggest that there may be some illegal or unsavory activities taking place, but it is left up to interpretation exactly what these actions may be.
The final lines of the song mention sleeping in the sea, indicating some sort of desire to escape from reality or start anew. Overall, the lyrics to "May Seem Macabre" are vague but intriguing, leaving listeners to create their own interpretations of the story being told.
Line by Line Meaning
We're both darken-wide from misty eyes, they say five breaks night
Our eyes are tired and puffy from crying all night long
Your eyes should be fully, your hairs come straight, we are both washed clean
After crying, our eyes should be clear and our hair should be straightened as we try to clean ourselves up
We're paying golden dry that under best to make escort in style
We're dressed in our best clothes to show respect for the occasion
May seem macabre but it's beautiful
Although it may appear dark and morbid, there is a certain beauty in the sadness
If the body ??? so, they are homeless, now circus over us
If our bodies were to fail us, we would be left with nothing and the world would move on without us
'Cause dealing very decent are belong you when they're see in us, us too
When people see us acting appropriately, it reflects positively on our character
Scorning is just lying tangle and never felt this home when I next to you
Being together makes us feel at home and any negativity directed at us is meaningless
Your eye from better, are mothers talk cause if they were best friends
Your eyes seem brighter and your mom speaks about us as if we were lifelong friends
May seem macabre but too high to there
Even though it may be a grim situation, we're riding high and feeling good
May sleep in sea far, may sleep in sea far
We may sleep far away from each other, perhaps even oceans apart

So wrong in many places:
We're both swept up in white
Through misty eyes they say the fabric's nice
Your eyes shut peacefully
Your hair's combed straight and we are both washed clean
We're pale and cold and dry
They've done their best to make us go in style
May seem macabre, but it's beautiful
If the body hosts our souls
They're homeless now and circle over us
Can still inherit a sense of belonging
When they're seeing us as two
Sculptures lying entangled
I never felt as home as when I'm next to you
May seem macabre, but it's beautiful
You're white from powder
Our mothers talk as if they were best friends
May seem macabre, but to have you there
Makes leaving seem fair, makes leaving seem fair.
