Twist In My Sobriety
Songs of Lemuria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We've just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety




More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

The following lines "I hear you talk girl, now your conscience is clear" suggests that the singer is discussing this with a female friend who has found peace in travelling and reading.


The second verse of the song is more introspective and talks about the singer's struggle to resist being manipulated into doing things that he doesn't want to do. He talks about wiping away his sweat in the morning and trying to will himself into doing what he wants, rather than what others want him to do. He asserts that he will never hear what others want from him or do their bidding.


The chorus of the song compares the singer's love interest to a "twist in his sobriety", suggesting that she is something that he can't fully understand or control.
