Armistice
PhoenixȀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go on mister, get well
Daddy wasn't thinking that you're no good
Don't worry 'cause you're not the kind to kiss and tell
Dally and cherry trees
I don't recall them anyway
So long as no one here is gonna wear out
To which isn't the same
When the lights are coming out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise, it is
Written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are coming out
And I come down in your room
Well well the sign is always
Here is your signed armistice
It's time to fall, oh, not to heat it up
The question is plain as a propeller
In the middle of the course
When ambitions are low
Head on close, hang on before you lose control
We ought to go
And look how to rip it off
December for message on the lips
Some love is, no, it ain't gonna wear out
To which is all the same
One of us is wasted
When the lights are coming out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise, it is
Written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are coming out
And I come down in your room
Well well the sign is always
Here is your signed armistice
Fallin' out, he's in a rush, fallin' out, he's goin in, fallin out, he's in a rush
Keep your promises
Fallin' out, he's in a rush, fallin' out, he's goin in, fallin out he's in a rush
Fallin' out he's always,
Fallin' out, he's in a rush
Keep your promises
Fallin' out, he's in a rush,
Fallin' out, he's always
The lyrics of "Armistice" by Phoenix are quite abstract but could be interpreted as a reflection on relationships and human nature. The opening lines "Dally used to come from me, go on mister, get well, daddy wasn't thinking that you're no good" suggest a sense of detachment and disapproval towards someone's actions. It could be referring to a past relationship or a friend who has made poor choices. The subsequent lines "don't worry 'cause you're not the kind to kiss and tell, dally and cherry trees, I don't recall them anyway" could imply a disregard for the past and a preference to move on, regardless of the memories associated with it.
The chorus "When the lights are coming out and I come down in your room, our daily compromise, it is written in your signed armistice" could signify two people coming together and finding a way to compromise, possibly after going through a rough patch. The use of the word "armistice" suggests a temporary truce or agreement, indicating that while things might be okay for now, it might not last. The song then goes on to suggest that it's important to keep one's promises and not fall back into old patterns.

Dally used to come from me
I used to have a friend named Dally
Go on mister, get well
Goodbye, hope you feel better
Daddy wasn't thinking that you're no good
My father didn't approve of you
Don't worry 'cause you're not the kind to kiss and tell
I'm not worried about you revealing our secrets
Dally and cherry trees
Memories of Dally and cherry trees
I don't recall them anyway
I don't really remember them
So long as no one here is gonna wear out
As long as nobody gets tired of us
To which isn't the same
Which is different
Look what you wasted
Look at what we've wasted
When the lights are coming out
As the sun is setting
And I come down in your room
When I visit you
Our daily compromise, it is
Our daily arrangement is
Written in your signed armistice
Agreed upon and recorded in a peace agreement
Well well the sign is always
The signature is always there
Here is your signed armistice
This is the peace agreement we've made
It's time to fall, oh, not to heat it up
It's time to calm down, not to make things worse
The question is plain as a propeller
The question is simple and straightforward
In the middle of the course
Halfway through the situation
When ambitions are low
When we're not sure what we want
Head on close, hang on before you lose control
Stay close to me and hold on tight
We ought to go
We should leave
And look how to rip it off
And figure out how to end the situation
December for message on the lips
A message to be delivered in December
Some love is, no, it ain't gonna wear out
Some love never fades
To which is all the same
Which is all equal
One of us is wasted
One of us is lost
Fallin' out, he's in a rush
He's leaving quickly
Keep your promises
Stay true to your word
Fallin' out, he's always
He's always leaving
