Lyrics for Bluish as interpreted by equivalence

Bluish Lyrics
I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm drawing pictures on your skin, so soft it twirls
I like your looks when you get mean
I know I shouldn't say so but when you
claw me like a cat, I'm beaming
I like the way you squeeze my hand
Pulling me into another dream,
A lucid dream

I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm getting crushed out on the things
that only I should see
they're not for boys, they're just for me
Hurry to talk from far away

I can't see you, you curl your fists and you pull your hair
When we're alone, I wanna say
Let's just stay in, no one's here in our apartment babe

Put on the dress that I like
It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why
Keep on your stockings for a while
Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there

I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm getting rushed back on a whim,
Our purse gets ribbed
Back to the time when we were green
I know we have changed
But I still grin 'cause I can't wait to see you
Back to the time I touched your hair
When I was so scared you'd look at me and think it's weird

I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm getting crushed out on the things that only I should see
they're not for boys, they're just for me
when you can talk from far away

It's so hard for me
Only to get the urge to kiss you there
When we're alone, I wanna say
Let's just stay in, no one's here in our apartment babe

Put on the dress that I like
It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why
Keep on your stockings for a while
Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there

Put on your clothes that I like
It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why
Keep on your stockings for a while
Some kind of magic in the way you talk about your

blue eyeshadow
it's not exactly blue though
and i refuse to call it anything but your blue anything

The instrumentation on this song reminds me of the Zora's Palace in Zelda.

the last verse of this song is one of the weakest lyrical points of the album.
but this song as a whole is one of the strongest songs on the album.

I can't get over how many love songs AC can manage to write without ever actually using the word "love."
Yet they manage to be the most meaningful and image-inducing of them all. It's magical.

Bluish official lyrics

When you claw me like a cat, I'm beaming
I like the way you squeeze my hand
Pulling me into another dream,
A lucid dream.

I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm getting crushed out on the things
that only I should see
not for boys, they're just for me
Hurry to talk, from far away

I can see you, you curl your fists and you pull your hair
When we're alone, I wanna say
Let's just stay in, no one's here (???????)

Put on the dress that I like
It makes me so crazy, though I can't say why
Keep on your stockings for a while
Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there

I'm getting lost in your curls
I'm getting rushed back on a whim,
Our breaths get wind
Back to the time when we will greet
I know we have changed
But I still grin 'cause I can't wait to see you
Back to the time I touched your hair

it was brought to my attention that this song could very well be about cunnilingus.


so that almost ruined the song for me, because i thought it was just a very cute love song.
it almost never is with these guys.

I think it's about sex more than cunnilingus.

doesn't matter if it's about sex/cunnilingus. if it is it's the most beautiful song ever about them.

"Back to the time I touched your hair
When I was so scared to look that mean, I think it's weird"

I think it's,
Back to the time I touched your hand
When I was so scared you'd look at me, I think it's weird.

whether it's about sex, love, lust, it's a fucking amazing song.

This is a loving, good time. Something "that only I should see". "Only to get the urge to kiss you there", definitely cunnilingus. I will have to agree with the majority of the earlier comments, in that this is a song of love too. This isn't lust. The bluish blue that is described has such a personal aspect to it, and lust has such a general implication for me, that it cannot be simply lust.

I fucking love this song. The love picture that this gives me is fantastical. My favorite song of 09'

It just sounds like a fantasy perfect love described from a guy's perspective, and the wordplay makes it feel so surreal. :D

Can't wait to see them at bonnaroo :)

Is it referring back to "For Reverend Green" when it says "back to the time when we were green"? Because recently I was listening to it and in the end when it's going "for reverend green, for reverend green, etc" it kind of sounds like "forever and green", and it brought the line from this song to mind.
