Start of the Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you’re given, what you live in
Darlin’, it finds a way to live in you
And your heart, love, has such darkness
I feel it in the corners of the room

[Refrain]
(If I was any closer) After the gloom
(I could only lose me) I wanna lose me
(If I fade away, let me fade away) I, I wanna fade away with you
(If I was any closer) If I was any closer
(I could only lose me) I could be lost
(If I fade away, let me fade away) No more than I was or than I

[Pre-Chorus]
Want to be when you fall on me like night, every time
And I want to be so far from sight and mind
I wanna kill the lights

[Chorus]
I wanna run against the world that’s turnin’
I’d move so fast that I’d outpace the dawn
I wanna be gone
I wanna run so far, I’d beat the mornin’
Before the dawn has come, I’d block the sun
If you want it done

[Verse 2]
Let all time slow, let all light go
I don’t need to know where we begin and end
I’d still know you, not being shown you
I only need the workin’ of my hands

[Refrain]
(If I was any closer) Do you understand?
(I could only lose me) I wanna lose me
(If I fade away, let me fade away) I, I wanna fade away with you
(If I was any closer) If I was any closer
(I could only lose me) I could be lost
(If I fade away, let me fade away) No more than I was or than I

[Pre-Chorus]
Want to be when you fall on me like night
I wanna kill the lights

[Bridge]
(If I was any closer, I could only lose me)
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
(If I was any closer, I could only lose me)
(If I fade away, let me fade away)

Opinion on De Selby (Part 2) Lyrics

The provided lyrics depict a powerful and emotionally charged song that explores themes of escape, darkness, and the desire to be with someone regardless of difficulties. The language is expressive and evokes a strong sense of urgency and yearning. Here is my take on these lyrics:

The song depicts a complex and intense emotional voyage, concentrating on leaving the troubles of the world behind and escaping with a special someone. The initial verse sets the tone by acknowledging the darkness that exists within oneself and the desire to be near to someone despite these shadows.

The pre-chorus conveys wonderfully the desire to be consumed by the intimacy shared with the other person and to be concealed from the world’s sight and mind. The desire to “kill the lights” indicates a desire for a private, secluded space with a loved one.

The chorus emphasises the urgency of this desire to flee by envisioning moving quicker than the dawn in order to escape and prevent the sun from rising, as if attempting to stop time in order to remain in that moment of connection.
