Berlin Lovers
Still Corners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't know the time
We only want to feel the light, yeah
We came from far,
We follow the sound
We fell into a howl of love.
He turn by desire,
He turn by this live,
So young, so young, so young, so young
So young, so young, so young, so young.
Almost a man, almost a woman,
Berlin itself this boy's back home, yeah.
Almost a man, almost a woman
Berlin itself this boy's back home, yeah.
Berlin itself this boy's back home, yeah.
The lyrics to Still Corners' song Berlin Lovers seem to touch on the themes of confusion, escapism and lust. The opening lines "We can't see what's real, we don't know the time" indicate a state of disorientation and confusion, suggesting that the singer(s) are lost, possibly in a new city or a new relationship. The following line, "We only want to feel the light", hints at a desire to escape from this confusion, to seek some kind of illumination or hope.
The chorus takes on a more upbeat tone, describing the thrill of youth and the rush of adventure. "We came from far, we follow the sound, we fell into a howl of love" suggests a reckless abandon, a willingness to surrender to the moment and the sensations that come with it. The repetition of "so young" reinforces these ideas, suggesting that the singer(s) are at a crossroads in their lives, perhaps seeking to carve out their own paths in the world.
The final lines of the chorus introduce the idea of homecoming, with the repeated phrase "Berlin itself this boy's back home". This suggests that the confusion and escapism of the earlier verses may be rooted in a sense of displacement, a longing to return to a place where one feels a sense of belonging. Overall, the lyrics to Berlin Lovers offer a tantalizing glimpse into the inner lives of the song's protagonists, suggesting a complex and alluring world of desire, uncertainty and yearning.

I love Tessa Murray's hair and feet as much as her voice. Her hair, feet, and singing are so sweet, cute, beautiful, and gorgeous because of her long hair and toes! I hope she replies with a simple “I know.”

@Jason Guill So, another woman instead of Murray.

I hate to burst your foot fetish bubble, but Tessa is working behind the food counter in the video. It's someone else entirely that puts the roller skates on.

I love when she changed shoes at the roller skating rink! Such a beautiful action it was, and what a beautiful scene the skating rink is!
