You Turn Me On
Venus And The Razorblades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t know who I am,
Am I a stranger or your friend?
Am I lost or is this my home?
The longer I stare in the mirror,
The stranger things get weirder,
I find myself in the clouds.
Why don’t I feel okay,
When I can’t see your face?
Why don’t you call me,
When I feel out of place?
You could find my ghost at my grave
Find my repose in outerspace
Or do i not mean that much to you?
Did I lose my value?
Do I not mean that much to you
Did I lose my value?
Did I lose my value?
I don’t know who I am,
Am I a stranger or your friend?
Am I lost or is this my home?
The longer I stare in the mirror,
The stranger things get weirder,
I find myself in the clouds.
Why don’t I feel okay,
When I can’t see your face?
Why don't you call me,
When I feel out of place?
You could find my bones, in my home.
Get to know me on your own.




Without asking anyone else
Everyone else can fuck off.
