You Love Her Coz She's Dead feat. Sucker Twin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And these techno colored lights
To show you up
To show us...
You got romance that comes with the money
Sweetness lasts for longer
Though the taste gets no better
This fusion of heat and breath
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
So believe it
She's cute oh so cold
So why feel this
You got skylines and shelter
The sleeping poison in her eyes
Says you want some peace
She's cute oh so cold so why you feel this?
So believe oh believe
The lyrics of You Love Her Coz She's Dead feat. Sucker Twin's song Mud paints a picture of a modern cityscape, with its towering skyscrapers and flashing neon lights. The lyrics suggest that this urban environment is meant to impress, to show off its power and grandeur. The lyrics also hint at the cold, uncaring nature of modern society, where people are more concerned with money and status than with love and human connection.
The song explores the theme of love as a commodity - something that can be bought and sold. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in a romantic relationship that is based not on love, but on money and status. The lines "You got romance that comes with the money / Sweetness lasts for longer / Though the taste gets no better" suggest that the singer's partner is only with them for their wealth and status, and that the relationship is ultimately unfulfilling.
The chorus of the song, "She's cute oh so cold / So why feel this / You got skylines and shelter / The sleeping poison in her eyes / Says you want some peace," questions the singer's motivation for staying in this relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware that their partner is manipulative and unfeeling, yet they continue to stay with them. The lines "You can't get bliss like this / So believe it" suggest that the singer feels trapped in this relationship, unable to find happiness or fulfillment elsewhere.
Overall, the lyrics of Mud paint a picture of modern love as a transactional, shallow experience - one that is more concerned with status and material possessions than with genuine human connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Skylines, and their cool house-of-junk
The city skyline with its dilapidated buildings and machinery is appealing to us
And these techno colored lights
The colorful lights of the city that adorn the skyline create an attractive scene
To show you up
The purpose of all these attractions is to impress and outdo others
To show us...
The competition of impressing people extends to include us as well
You got romance that comes with the money
Having money can buy a style of living that is romantic but not sustainable
Sweetness lasts for longer
The sweetness of life is ephemeral and temporary
Though the taste gets no better
Even though life might be enjoyable, it does not improve over time
This fusion of heat and breath
The passionate encounter between two bodies sharing heat and breathing
Skin and bone clapping each other
The physical interaction between two people results in the collision of their bones and skin
On towards a lull in the rain
The passionate encounter comes to a peaceful end like the rainstorm subsiding
We're just bloated lovers
Our physical attraction to each other is excessive and unhealthy
Kissing every face, yeah
Our love and affection is shallow and distributed to everyone and anyone
You can't get bliss like this
Life does not offer anything as rewarding as physical pleasures
So believe it
Trust in the fact that physical pleasure is the highest reward
She's cute oh so cold
The love interest lacks warmth and compassion despite being attractive
So why feel this
Questioning the feelings of attraction towards someone who is unemotional
You got skylines and shelter
Despite romance and love lacking sustainability, we have the comfort of a home and the beautiful city skyline
The sleeping poison in her eyes
The love interest has a passive and distant nature that is poisonous to a relationship
Says you want some peace
The love interest is avoiding intimacy and seeking calm rather than excitement
She's cute oh so cold so why you feel this?
Despite the love interest's unaffectionate nature, why are we still attracted to her?
So believe oh believe
As we question our attraction to the love interest, we justify our emotions by believing in the pleasure of physical interaction

Best song I really miss this band. They were so underated and made music I would argue is crystal castles tier.

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!
