Please, please be my light filter
Shine, make me a shelter
To hide this love
Makes you lose your sign
Now the search rise is on its way
And the flood lights are on my face
All the shadows that I woke up in
Are just my volatile second skin
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
Lines, design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find, although I really tried
Only time is a lover's guide
And now the ratings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I'll go back to hide
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I'll go back to hide
Shine, make me a shelter
To hide this love
Makes you lose your sign
Now the search rise is on its way
And the flood lights are on my face
All the shadows that I woke up in
Are just my volatile second skin
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
Lines, design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find, although I really tried
Only time is a lover's guide
And now the ratings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I'll go back to hide
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I'll go back to hide

"leaves/please be a light filter/shine/make me a shelter..."
and, as A.M pointed out before, the end of the first verse should be "all the shadows that i walk in/are just my volatile second skin"
the first verse: she's vulnerable. she needs someone/something to be a filter, to make her a shelter. she feels exposed (search party, floodlight on my face), and her shadows - her past - are her "volatile second skin" - it was a changing time.
chorus: her past shows her mistakes, maybe someone's messed with her, but she knows from her experiences now, and this can protect her in future relationships. not exactly sure what "my directions are distractions/when you're ready, come into the light" means.
second verse: i get a very specific and interesting image from this. she needs help finding something and needs a pathway cut out for her - maybe she's confused about what's going on ("only time is a lover's guide"). the imagery in this section is great!
Are just my volatile second skin.
so what she sees in the mirror, her appearance and therefore what everyone else sees, is what protects her. Like if she's feeling down and out she keeps on smiling anyway..
OR her reflections could be if someone is mean to her, it just bounces off and back to person who says it, it 'reflects'..
OR her reflections are just her thinking about things, perhaps all the bad/stupid things she's done which will now keep her from destruction/doing those things again...
hahaha @ you people :oP
(it's ok, I got a dirty double-entendre mind too LOL)
go on "Liztix", what's it about?
I have only heard this song today for the first time (but played it 100 times already)... AND it calls me... it's like right now though it's too close to event in my own life so even tho I relate to it in a big way, I can't describe how
I think is... is very clear what is about...
