You Love Her Coz She's Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And these techno colored lights to show you up
To show us
Yeah
Oo
You got romance that comes with the money
Sweetness lasts for longer though the taste gets no better
Skin and bone clapping
Each other on towards
A lull in the rain
We're just bloated lovers kissing every face
Yeah
Skylines and their cool house of junk
And these techno colored lights to show you up
To show us
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like I-I-I-I
So believe, believe
So believe it
She's cute, oh so cold
So why feel this?
You got skylines
You got skylines
You got skylines
Oh, and shelter
Yeah
Oo
Yeah
Yeah
The sleeping poison in her eyes says you want some peace
Says you want some peace
Says you want some peace
Want some peace
Yeah
So believe, believe
So believe it
She's cute, oh so cold
So why feel this?
You got skylines
You got skylines
You got skylines
Oh, and shelter
You got romance that comes with the money
Sweetness lasts for longer though the taste gets no better
This fusion of heat and breath
Skin and bone clapping
Each other on towards
A lull in the rain
We're just bloated lovers kissing every face
Yeah
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like I-I-I-I
Uh-oh
Believe

The song "Mud" by You Love Her Coz She's Dead is a haunting, almost dreamlike piece that oscillates between vivid visuals of urban landscapes and abstract emotions. The lyrics paint a portrait of a person who is caught between the seductive glamour of the city and the internal turmoil of their own desires.
The opening lines of the song, "Skylines and their cool house of junk / And these techno coloured lights to show you up," describe the singer's surroundings. The bright lights and towering buildings of the city are juxtaposed with the concept of "junk," perhaps symbolising the emptiness or fleeting nature of material wealth. The idea of being "shown up" suggests that while the city is alluring, it is also unforgiving and demands that one keeps up appearances.
The chorus of the song centres around the phrase "You can't get bliss like this," which seems to speak to the singer's inner conflict. They know that the lifestyle they are living is not sustainable, but they cannot resist the temporary sense of satisfaction it brings them. The song's outro, with its repeated refrain of "Believe," feels almost desperate, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that their choices are justified.
Overall, "Mud" is a complex exploration of the human psyche and the allure of urban decay. It is a unique and evocative piece that invites listeners to dive deep into its world.
Line by Line Meaning
Skylines and their cool house of junk
The urban skyline with its towering scrap heap buildings filled with discarded things
And these techno colored lights to show you up
The bright, colorful, and artificial lights serve as an invitation to come closer
To show us
To reveal hidden secrets within the cityscape
You got romance that comes with the money
The idea that romance itself can be bought with money
Sweetness lasts for longer though the taste gets no better
The sweetness of love lasts longer, but the quality of the experience stays the same
This fusion of heat and breath
The combination of lust and intimacy between two people
Skin and bone clapping
The sound of two bodies coming together during intimate moments
Each other on towards
They encourage each other to keep going on this journey
A lull in the rain
A moment of peace in the stormy sea of emotions
We're just bloated lovers kissing every face
They are indiscriminate in their pursuit of love, kissing anyone and everyone they can find
You can't get bliss like this
This level of euphoria cannot be achieved elsewhere
She's cute, oh so cold
She may be attractive, but she's emotionally distant and unapproachable
So why feel this?
Why continue to pursue her if she's not interested
You got skylines
You have the beauty of the city and all its offerings
Oh, and shelter
And a safe place to call home
The sleeping poison in her eyes says you want some peace
Her cold demeanor suggests that the artist desires peace from the emotional turbulence of love
Want some peace
Desire for emotional stability and tranquility
You can't get bliss like I-I-I-I
The personal, unique joy that this specific relationship brings cannot be replicated
Believe
Encouragement to continue believing in love and its potential to bring happiness
Oo
An expression of contemplation or reflection
Yeah
An expression of agreement or understanding
Uh-oh
A sudden realization or realization of a negative outcome

Best song I really miss this band. They were so underated and made music I would argue is crystal castles tier.
UDRĘKA 13
that's exactly what I wanted to comment, glad not all comments are from years ago
False Death
I agree up until the point of being crystal castles level. Only because I think they did much better than CC and I absolutely love CC.
But there is very VERY few songs I dislike from YLHCSD. I can't even think of them. That's how low it is.
My favorite band of all time!
