Lyrics for Crystalised as interpreted by Joshoewaa

Crystalised Lyrics
You've applied the pressure
To have me crystalised
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

You don't move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lesson your affection
No

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

Glacies have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

Glacies have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow x5

If anyone has any changes they'd like to make to the lyrics, tell me and I'll change them. I found it very hard interpreting them, especially the man's lines.

I've listened carefuly and these seem to be the best lyrics. Plus, "placid as a mountain to the sea" makes much more sense. =)

You applyin' pressure
To help me crystalise
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied?

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

You don't move slow
And taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection?

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
Don't burn down our home
I won't live without

Placid as a mountain to the sea
I wish that time would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

Placid as a mountain to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish that time would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down on my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow (x5)

This song is really easy to ignore, but you listen to it carefully once and you're hooked again again. It gets better every time. Or it did for me.

This song has this dark sexiness behind it. A great single for an outstanding debut. Shame the first lyrics posted on here are a mess. Fix them please with misterplum's post.

The XX have an authentic, original, and an excessively casual style of music. Listening, it sounds almost careless in the way the melodies meander, but it retains beauty and meaning. Oliver Sim sounds like he is singing in his sleep. If music were a water park, his voice would be the lazy river attraction for all the tag-along parents. Their album is the type that I can put on repeat while doing work, and neither be bored, nor over-stimulated and distracted.
Despite its ability to work as background music some of the sounds are definitely pretty interesting, namely the first half or so of Fantasy. The eerie hollowness resembled in my mind the distant lonely drone of a Muslim call to prayer in some middle-eastern city. Where low-fi bands like Wavves overload the senses, The XX leaves me with a craving for more.

I have two ideas about this song:

I think it's a couple singing back and forth to each other. The girl thinks the guy is moving too fast, but he doesn't think he's going fast at all. They both think that this relationship is going to be something really great, so they both really don't want to mess it up. They're each trying to go at the speed they are most comfortable and think will have the most success in the long run.

I think it's just one person singing to about a relationship they are in. They really want it to work out well, but they are feeling a lot of pressure to fulfill that. They more pressure they feel, the more they want to take things slow. Just because they want to go slow, doesn't mean that this relationship means less to them. In fact, it's the opposite.

The second version seems more cohesive to me.
