After three albums and two EPs Thieves Like Us, despite being sonically and ethnically uncategorizable, have finally found the comforts of home on Captured Tracks. 2012 saw the addition of Martine Duverglas, Anna De Marco and Dani Imhoff and the multilingual bunch are gearing up the release of their fourth long player, Bleed Bleed Bleed.

Thieves Like Us Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a trip with my mirror and a dream comes to thought
Cross the ocean to infinity
How we're made pure in the house where we met
All the time that fell away has been put back in place
And the seconds they come beautifully
Generate a new harmony
Rain is falling down in the streets near our house
We are joined and turned to dust in the fond radiance
And as one we're singing endlessly
Lover lover lover lover
Stand by me and we'll be stronger
Lover lover lover lover
Dance with me and I'll recover
Lover lover lover lover
Rain is falling down in the streets near our house
Take a trip with my mirror and a dream comes to thought
And as one we're singing endlessly
When I was a child I saw illusions a lot
Laid to rest at Solaris and a dream comes to thought
And together we sing endlessly
Lover lover lover lover
Stand by me and we'll be stronger
Lover lover lover lover
Dance with me and I'll recover
Lover lover lover lover
Generate a new harmony
Lover lover lover lover
The lyrics to Thieves Like Us's "Lover Lover" contain a mix of dreamlike imagery and introspective reflections on life and love. The song starts off with the singer reflecting on their childhood and how they used to see illusions frequently. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as a dream-like quality pervades throughout. The singer goes on to describe an experience of traveling to infinity with a mirror and a dream. This could represent a journey within oneself, where one discovers new facets of their identity in the vast expanse of their mind. The chorus of the song contains the repeated phrase "Lover lover lover lover," which could represent a yearning for a deeper connection with someone.

Theives Like Us is so phenomenal with being able to pair their songs with movies that I am sure have made impacting memories on them when they were coming of age. This song coupled with the perfect editing of this creepy film is incredibly haunting. I can't get the images out of my head! ah! I'm Der Fan of Theives Like Us!

Their music videos are like watching the whole movie... impossible for these songs just to be background music

I'm so glad this guy is still making videos for them. He's really got the hang of something original with his style.
