I heard the Florence + the Machine song “No Light, No Light” on the radio the other day. I’ve heard it many times before, but I never realized just how Thorki-esque the lyrics are. (Here’s the extraordinarily weird video, which has some oddly appropriate falling imagery…)
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it’s clear
When it’s over you’ll start
You’re my head, you’re my heartNo light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
And I’d do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to sayThrough the crowd I was crying out and
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me I need to make it rightYou want a revelation
You want to get it right
But it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation …But would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve done
And would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve become
‘Cause it’s so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it’s so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud …
