Gather matters of the heart
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
The needle on the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn
To let us in, yeah
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
The bodies lying in the sand
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us in
We feel it moving through our skin
It's a sickness, infinite quickness, yeah
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
The needle on the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn
To let us in, yeah
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
The bodies lying in the sand
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us in
We feel it moving through our skin
It's a sickness, infinite quickness, yeah
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again, oh-oh
It is happening again
It is happening again

This falls into the "love song" / "heroin song" category. He's falling in love, but it's like an addiction and he's afraid--hence the heroin imagery ("needle", "we feel it move through our skin", "it's a sickness".)
Don't get me wrong--it's a sublimely beautiful song. But definitely about heroin.
By the way, the sound and the concept are similar to the ending of Spiritualized's "Cop Shoot Cop" and "Spread Your Wings."
