Dark & Long
Sasha & John Digweed Lyrics

Thunder, thunder, lightning ahead, long

Kiss you, kiss you dark & long

Me I'm just a waitress she said

I went and bought a new head she said

I look at you I believe in you she said
This person expresses trust and admiration towards someone they are looking at, though the context is unclear.

Screaming into the eye of the lens
The singer is raising their voice at a camera or similar device, as if it were an opponent or symbol of oppression.

I want to smash it up, I want to break it down
The singer feels a strong urge to violently destroy whatever is causing them frustration or distress.

I want a wall of tears to wash away
The artist wishes for a cathartic release of emotion, potentially through the shedding of tears so profound that they form a wall-like barrier.

Filled with tainted girls and motel frills
The environment or situation described is characterized by morally corrupted women and cheap, superficial indulgences.

What a laugh, you was done up there mate

Shout your love, the stars are black

The church is sweet, my skin is hot
There is a juxtaposition of contrasting feelings between the comforts of religious faith and a physical sensation of heat, possibly passion or arousal.
