- Tigerlily LyricsTigerlily lyrics
Tonight out on the streets
I'm gonna follow you
Tell you all about a scene
That you would kill for
You're gonna love what's
Burning right in front of you
But you won't see it
By the light of the sun
Come out Tigerlily
You're caressing me
I'll take you up
I'll turn you on
I'll take your apathy
I wouldn't lie to you, blossom
Won't you let it go
I'm gonna give you all you want
And don't you know
That you
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips
They can sell it all they want
But you cannot agree
I don't like the taste
Of their morality
You'll find your bread and your butter
Where you fake it
And put your face in the gutter
Of a snake pit
But our communication
Is telepathy
What you give is what you get
Out of us naturally
And we can wait til the shadow grows long
And turn the page of a story
That has long since found a home
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips
Have you ever felt
Like you're being followed?
Or watched the ones that held your stare?
Turn around to see who's behind you
To find there's no one there?
Lurking in the dark
There's someone
That breathes you night and day
There's a friend who wants so much more
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips
Tonight out on the streets
I'm gonna follow you
Tell you all about a scene
That you would kill for
You're gonna love what's
Burning right in front of you
But you won't see it
By the light of the sun
Come out Tigerlily
You're caressing me
I'll take you up
I'll turn you on
I'll take your apathy
I wouldn't lie to you, blossom
Won't you let it go
I'm gonna give you all you want
And don't you know
That you
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips
They can sell it all they want
But you cannot agree
I don't like the taste
Of their morality
You'll find your bread and your butter
Where you fake it
And put your face in the gutter
Of a snake pit
But our communication

What you give is what you get
And we can wait til the shadow grows long
And turn the page of a story
That has long since found a home
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips
Have you ever felt

Lurking in the dark

There's a friend who wants so much more
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, La Roux's 'Tigerlily' touches on the subjects of obsession and the need for closeness employing to metaphors such as 'tigerlily' and 'light in the mist' to show both the power and the inaccessibility of these feelings. The song's narrative revolves around love mostly, and then it comes to empowerment, joy, loneliness, and also reflection. On the other hand, the track highlights the very nature of desire and attraction; it then moves on to connection and understanding, while at the same time it speaks about the rebellion against the norm and the paranoia of being watched.
