Third Child

• Artist: Death Cab For Lukie
• Description: It's a poem about how I see myself in relationships, and how, in my own selfish ways, I've destroyed everything I've held dear to me. I think I made it sound like it's about alcoholism, but it's not. (Just letting you all know.) This poem is packed with allusion.

This stones to heavy it won't turn over-
But in a thunderstorm, I will transform.
I've found the keys but not the owner
The cabinet unlocks-Grandpas medicine.
Forget your sin, meet my Valentine.

I am the Beast that shouted "LOVE!"
I am the fallen son
I am the Morning Star

I feel so foggy to comprehend me
And on the other side, your screaming "NO!"
You see here Valentine, love is still mine-
So the earth is fine - be you locked away.
Feeling mornings grave planted next to you.


I am the Beast that shouted "LOVE!"
At the heart of the world

This Cage is so full, but won't fill any
Throw in flowers you'll look so pretty.
Nectar's too sweet but you keep gorging
Blackened both her eyes, crimson fantasy.
Dear, dear, Valentine love is truly mine.

I am the Beast who shouted "LOVE!"
At the heart of the world
I am the fallen son
I am the Morning Star

You can't ever fill my cage
You can't ever fill my cage
(Sounds like: "You can't ever feel my rage" wink
