Shoot me into sleep, your beauty is so close to me

And even better still, warm nights and the chill
Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

Deeper in the zone, 2-player combo mode
Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

Ejacquantumbreeze!

And even better still, warm nights and the chill
Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

Deeper in the zone, 2-player combo mode
Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

Ejacquantumbreeze! Even in the sea
Replace all meaning - "I-spy"

Fuck, I think she just saw me, stop hiding in the sea
Shit, my midnight surprise has found out all my lines
Crunch time, night time, palm luxuries which I mistake for life
Don't talk to me, stay away unless you want me near you

I'm waiting in silence and cloaking my violence
You, almost encourage my happiness, but I know best
Wake up, smell the semen, this will never happen for you
Evil waits inside your home and shakes you through and through

Oh, wake up princess

I guess, deep down, my heart is not as pure as it was
And my food is ruined, the freezer doorway to above
I'll fire in the sun, I'm dying just for fun

And what is left of this?
My fare is calling down for you all to go away, forget the fall exists
I'll fire in the sun, I'm dying, just for fun

As I lay in bed, wrapped in cold sweat, just take me now

Shoot me into sleep...

    General Comment:Im pretty sure he says,

    "My fare is calling down for you all to go away, forget this song exists"

    rather than,

    "My fare is calling down for you all to go away, forget the fall exists"

    General Comment:People are saying its about Zelda or Mario, but in the interviews he says he wrote a block of writing on a plane journey and it was just about how he felt about things and then took his inspiration from that and turned them into songs...

    I know Dev is into comics and all that, but i mean Zelda. Really? I doubt he'd have such a passion for a game? :P

    General Comment:Aside from the aforementioned Zelda references, I think some of the other stuff is about Super Mario Galaxy. In the two player mode of that game, one person plays fairly normally, and the other person watches for and collects "stars" by pointing at the screen. That seems to go along well with the chorus. So, he and his girlfriend probably used to play Wii together before they split.

    General Comment:I have listened to this song about 20 times and I never really listened to the lyrics to much but then i did and it kind of seems like the guy is singing about a wet dream he is having at night.

    First verse kinda feels like he is talking about sleeping
    "Staple down my eyes"
    just wants to go fast asleep

    "Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone"
    telling us he is alone


    "Ejacquantumbreeze!
    sounds a lot like Ejaculate

    "Wake up, smell the semen, this will never happen for you"
    This is just a give-away


    "As I lay in bed, wrapped in cold sweat, just take me now"
    talking about how he just wants to fall into his deep sleep and get his wet dream


    What do you guys think?

    My Interpretation:I agree with the above statement. I think it's about how he wants to be with this girl, but he hasn't the courage to ask her out. Instead he resorts to tossing off and dreaming about her. This is how I interpret the lyrics:

    **And even better still, warm nights and the chill
    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
    Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

    The singer is laying in bed trying to fall asleep but can't (warm nights). He gets a chill creeping down his bones that reminds him he's alone... to do whatever he wants :D
    The girl he dreams about is his "midnight surprise." He stays awake thinking about her (staple down my eyes). Stars he cannot see and being taken by the galaxy is basically him saying he's entering his fantasy world with her.

    **Deeper in the zone, 2-player combo mode
    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
    Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

    Now he's "deeper in the zone" or in other words, he's in his fantasy/dream. 2-player combo mode is basically his cute way of saying, "he and the girl are getting it on." You know, "it takes two to tango." ...Okay he's having sex with her. But alas he wakes up and remembers he's alone, so now he "Ejac... quantumbreezes - if you shall be so modest.

    **Fuck, I think she just saw me, stop hiding in the sea
    Shit, my midnight surprise has found out all my lines
    Crunch time, night time, palm luxuries which I mistake for life
    Don't talk to me, stay away unless you want me near you

    Okay, so now he see's her in public or a crowd of people (better known as "the sea"). He's just watching her and hides behind the crowd (sea), afraid to talk to her. She just found out he likes her, and all of his other intentions (like doing her). He's grown so accustomed to his pulm luxuries (tossing off) that he thought they were just another part of life (crunch time = food, night time = sleep, etc), so he's nervous of what might happen if he goes near her.

    **I'm waiting in silence and cloaking my violence
    You, almost encourage my happiness, but I know best
    Wake up, smell the semen, this will never happen for you
    Evil waits inside your home and shakes you through and through

    So now he's back in his bedroom alone (waiting in silence). He's almost content to tossing off to her everyday (you almost encourage my happiness), but then he wakes up and smells his semen and realizes this isn't working for him.

    **As I lay in bed, wrapped in cold sweat, just take me now

    So now he's had his fun and just wants to go to sleep. He isn't happy not having her, but he's also to scared to ask her out. This makes him depressed, and all he want's is to die (and fry up in the sun).

    **Shoot me into sleep...

    The next day continues much as it has before... he can't stop dreaming and fantasizing of her.

    General Comment:Hahaha, I was reading the lyrics and I was like 'wait a minute, is this about wet dreams?' Then he came out with lines like "night time, palm luxuries which I mistake for life" and "Wake up, smell the semen" and I thought 'perhaps it is.'

    Pretty weird song. I think it's about his self-loathing and longing to be with the girl he likes but is too afraid to pursue. Instead he partakes in "Ejacquantumbreeze!" Haha. Pretty good song though.

    General Comment:Here are the definite lyrics (from the lyric booklet):

    Shoot me into sleep, your beauty is so close to me

    And even better still, warm nights and the chill
    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
    Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

    Deeper in the zone, 2-player combo mode
    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
    Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

    Ejacquantumbreeze!

    And even better still, warm nights and the chill
    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
    Stars I cannot see, take me galaxy

    Creeping down my bones, reminds me I'm alone
    My sweet midnight surprise, staple down my eyes
