Slowdive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(And I don't want to see you)
See you smile inside
(And I don't want to know you)
Faces and I've fallen
(And I don't want to hear you)
Wonder why I'm here now
In asylum don't you see?
In asylum don't you see?
Doors close and feelings flow
Through my mind I feel his
Pictures and I've fallen
Wonder why I'm here now
Curse your soul I don't wanna know you
(And I) curse your soul, I don't wanna know you
(And I) curse your soul, I don't wanna know you
(And I) curse your soul, I don't wanna know you
