ANKH
Temples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeble friends and their brothers
Make the child in you come out
Tempting boys with another
Heartfelt preys undercover
Potions in your blood run wild
Make the vision of me seem
So in touch only to see
When will she be a mother
Soon said tales from the gutter
Notions of herself ran out
Months pass then she unveils
Mourning over her buckle
Boy with whom she lies moves out
Now she lives by a river
Streaming thoughts carry with her
Child before her child runs out
Point of wealth by the present
She becomes a thief far to benefit the system
Poisons from before dry out
Then you will feel it
Future's changed
Visions change
Visions of you
Make the vision of me seem
So in touch only to see
Call from the mountaintop
What you desire from me
You never need, you never needed anyone
The lyrics to Temples' song ANKH speak about a journey of personal growth, through the eyes of various characters. The opening lines speak about people staring at "discover", which could be a reference to the discovery of something new, or the discovery of the self. The lyrics suggest that the people around us can have a powerful impact on our lives, and that our interactions with them can bring out different sides of us. The lyrics then talk about "tempting boys" and "heartfelt preys undercover", which could be a reference to fleeting romantic encounters that leave a lasting impact on our lives.
The lyrics then take a darker turn, speaking about a woman who becomes pregnant and eventually mourns the loss of her partner, who leaves her. She is left alone with her thoughts, living by a river, and carrying the weight of her child on her shoulders. The lyrics suggest that she becomes a "thief far to benefit the system", which could be interpreted as her taking desperate measures to provide for her child.
Line by Line Meaning
People staring at discover
People judging and observing one's behavior and actions
Feeble friends and their brothers
Weak and unreliable acquaintances and their family members
Make the child in you come out
Bringing out one's innocent and naive self
Tempting boys with another
Seducing young men with the prospect of another experience
Heartfelt preys undercover
Emotionally vulnerable victims being targeted in secret
Potions in your blood run wild
Drugs or alcohol affecting one's body and mind
Visions of you
Thoughts and images of someone
Make the vision of me seem
Contrasting the idealized image of someone with reality
So in touch only to see
Feeling close but ultimately realizing the distance between two people
When will she be a mother
When will she have a child of her own
Soon said tales from the gutter
Rumors and gossip about her being spread in a negative light
Notions of herself ran out
Her self-concept or self-esteem has diminished
Months pass then she unveils
Time has passed and she reveals something new or hidden
Mourning over her buckle
Grieving over a failed relationship or opportunity
Boy with whom she lies moves out
The man she was with has left or moved on
Now she lives by a river
She now resides by a body of water
Streaming thoughts carry with her
Her thoughts are constantly flowing and accompanying her
Child before her child runs out
Having a child before it's too late or before the opportunity is gone
Point of wealth by the present
The focus on accumulating wealth in the present moment
She becomes a thief far to benefit the system
She resorts to stealing in order to gain something from a corrupt system
Poisons from before dry out
Harmful influences from the past are no longer affecting her
Future's changed
The future has been altered or is different from what was expected
Call from the mountaintop
A cry for help or attention from a high place
What you desire from me
What do you want or expect from me?
You never need, you never needed anyone
You've never required or relied on anyone else

Temples "Ankh" LYRICS
People staring at discover
Feeble friends and their brothers
Make the child in you come out
Tempting boys with another
Heartfelt preys undercover
Potions in your blood run wild
Visions of you
Make the vision of me seem
Swelling attraction only to see
When will she be a mother

Notions of herself ran out
Months pass then she unveils
Mourning over her buckle
Boy with whom she lies moves out
Now she lives by a river
Streaming thoughts carry with her
Child before her child runs out
Point of wealth by the present
She becomes a thief far to benefit the system
Poisons from before dry out
Then you will feel it
Future's changed
Visions change
Visions of you
Make the vision of me seem
Swelling attraction only to see
Call from the mountaintop
What you desire from me
You never need, you never needed anyone

+Ectopic Shapeshifting Penance-Propulsion I listened to this again after I read your suggestion and I think you're right, so I made the correction. Thanks
@Ash_Hudson
2:45 that moment when you're higher than a kite, and then rainbows suddenly start pouring out of your ears. I wish I could hear this song again for the first time.
@gamehoarders
This is WAY too good to be a B-side.
@BilisNegra
+raregamecollector Sure. But the album is amazing enough to do without it.
