Richard Devine Lyrics

Black holes emit tones 50 staffs below c
The song speaks about the mysterious sounds that black holes make that are impossible to measure and it highlights that their frequency is extremely low, i.e they produce tones which are 50 octaves below the piano’s highest note.

Floating through space would you think about me?
The singer imagines a scenario of him being in space and wonders if the person he is addressing would think of him too in that moment.

With your brain squeezed to mush by the force pressing down
The singer talks about the immense force and pressure someone might feel while navigating through the hazards of life that can squish your thinking ability but even then he would still show affection by visiting the person in their hometown.

I'd still drive by your house, I'd still move to your town
The lyrics express the artist's willingness to go out of his way to be closer to the person he cherishes no matter what calamities of life come in the way.

Cause you slay me, you fool
The love and infatuation in their relationship is so strong that it has left the singer helpless and they are at the mercy of the other person's will.

Obey me, you fool
The singer playfully commands the person they are addressing to obey him, indicating an intense level of love and control he has on this person.

I'll submit to your rule
The singer admits to giving in to the person he loves no matter how absurd his demands might be.

And I'll drown in your pool
The singer would happily die, metaphorically, as long as he is with the person he loves even if it is in a situation as trivial as drowning in a swimming pool.

There's a place far away where a cave sits alone
The next stanza talks about a distant place where a dark cave is situated that is inhabited by the singer's imaginary character reflecting the extent of the singer's attachment to this person.

On the roof is a bat, on the floor is a stone
The song describes a typical sight of the cave's interior where there's a bat roosting above while a stone rests on the floor portraying the poet's artistic nature by depicting the scenery with creative imageries.

On the wall is a drawing, I once made of you
The singer talks about how he preserved his affection and love through a drawing that he made of the person he loves which is hanging in the cave's walls and how that is the only reminder of her presence for him.

Where your hair is on fire and your eyes on fire too
The drawing is a representation of the singer's intense love, featuring the description of the person he cherishes in a blazing state- of eyes and hair on fire, signifying the depth of the artist's passion.

Enroll in my school
The singer commands the person they are addressing to come to his world, portraying that he wants this person in his life so much that he’s ready to teach them about everything he knows and make them a part of his life.

Please tell me that I'm cool
The singer requests the person he loves to tell him that he’s cool, implying that he needs confirmation from the one he loves to feel validated and important.

In my top dresser drawer is a tiny wooden box
The singer talks about how he keeps everything related to the person he loves neatly organized and stored- in his top drawer in a tiny wooden box.

All its hinges are gone and there's rust in the locks
However, he further explains how the box is old and worn out, showcasing how he's been holding onto these memories and sentiments for a long time and that they have passed their time and lost their shine.

If you opened it up, darling here's what you'd find
If the person he loves was to open the box, they would find everything related to him, his thoughts, secrets and emotions all entangled in there.

All our thoughts, dreams, and truths tangled up and entwined
The box holds not only the singer's but also the other person's thoughts and dreams, enmeshing their love with each other's.

I'm not bitter at all
The singer attempts to prove that he is not holding onto resentment in any way and that all he wants is to feel loved.

I'm not lonely you see
By saying so, the singer tries to showcase how he doesn't need anyone else for him to be happy only the person he loves is enough to do it.

All I want is your love
The singer asserts that all he desires from the person he cherishes is their love and that his life would be incomplete without it.

All I give is this plea
The song concludes by portraying that the only thing he can offer in return is his sincerest plea for love.
