So I can turn up your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back just to be fed
I'll be wait
Come and seal the fate, Marie
Just pretend that you want me
To be my bait
To be my
Well don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can breath
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?
And if you break
Just don't tell me
To be my bait
To be my dream
Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong)
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
(How do they know where I am?)
(Burn it down)
Outside your cold lips again
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun
So let's pretend that you love me
And be my bait
To be my bait
So I can turn up your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back just to be fed
I'll be wait
Come and seal the fate, Marie
Just pretend that you want me
To be my bait
To be my
Well don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can breath
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?
And if you break
Just don't tell me
To be my bait
To be my dream
Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong)
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
(How do they know where I am?)
(Burn it down)
Outside your cold lips again
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun
So let's pretend that you love me
And be my bait
To be my bait

Don't try to be technology
So I can turn up your love
Like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back
Just to be fed
Don't be waves
Come to seal my fate marine
Just pretend
That you want me
And be my bait
Would you be my bait?
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
(Be my...)
Well don't be that note i can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breathe (so I can't
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?
And if you breed
Just don't tell me
And be my bait, would you be my bait?
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
(We would celebrate when you got my ring)
(Our love cool in the rage of a sun)
(And if you want me, I'm available)
(So take your time and arrange)
To be my serene
(Turn me on) Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong) You've set on me but you were not the sun
And you will not listen (How do you know what I am?)
(Burn it down) Outside your cold lips again
(Come around) You've set on me but you were not the sun
You will not listen
Just pretend that you love me
And be my bait, would you be my bait?
Would you be my bait, Would you be my bait?
Would you be my bait, Would you be my bait
Would you be my bait, would you be my bait
Would you be my. . .?
superjuper27 is right!
instead of "outside your cold lips again"
it's "I'm outside and growing roots again"
The line is actually "I'm outside and growing roots again"
It has both of those lines on the hand-written lyric sheet that came with the vinyl.
To be my babe, (We were so nieve), to be my babe
(we died faster) To be my babe, (We'll have our harmonies), to be my babe
(It was a quick slaughter) To be my babe, (And would you want me), to be my babe
(for the millionth ...), To be my babe (time and time again), to be my babe
(what cha gona do?) Be my serene (Turn me on)
Tell me you know what I mean (Lead me on)
You've set on me but you are not the sun
And you will not listen (How do I know who I am?)
(Burn it down) Outside your cold lips again
(Come around) You've set on me but you are not the sun
You will not listen
... let me know what you think
The track seems to be from two perspectives, the male wants her 'to be his babe', to have his fate sealed and for her to be family: aka he wants to marry her. He can't take it, and he'd even want her to pretend. '
But then the woman just wants him to be her serene, serene meaning something simple and clear. He's not her 'sun' (ie what her world revolves around). They're in some sort of messed up relationship though ('scraps from her bed', 'stray coming to be fed'). I think the technology line represents a relationship that's not aimed at feelings, but just something quick and meaningless.
Hope i'm not completely wrong lol. That's always embarrasing. Not to mention my explanation doesn't seem to fit the album theme. Maybe something metaphorical going on? dunno.

amazing
And it's also makes the most sense in my interpretation to the song, which goes along with the entire album. I think this song is about a girl (Luca) chasing him and he's just not sure. "You've set on my, but you are not the sun." Meaning you're after me but you're not the one. And then he gives in in Luca and she turns out she's dirty and it was all wrong just like he thought, leading to his epiphany and finally finding the place where God wanted him to be, and learning from the mistakes.
