lyrics
stranger say my name
let me see your face
cos everyone has come to play
so place your bets & hedge 'em now
lovers lay me down
the city lights the road
stranger take me home
and let me go
hold me close and let me go
lovers lay me down in the city lights
sober's shaking out
let it out right
lovers lay me down in the city lights
lovers let me down
what have you heard?
and did you get there first?
did you get what you deserve?
fuck what you heard.
they're just empty words
did you get some? did you get it (right)?
let me see your face
cos everyone has come to play
so place your bets & hedge 'em now
lovers lay me down
the city lights the road
stranger take me home
and let me go
hold me close and let me go
lovers lay me down in the city lights
sober's shaking out
let it out right
lovers lay me down in the city lights
lovers let me down
what have you heard?
and did you get there first?
did you get what you deserve?
fuck what you heard.
they're just empty words
did you get some? did you get it (right)?

"keep it in the dark" feels like summer storm music: it swirls and comes in torrents but it cools your skin with burst of calm. i don't know how they balance the dichotomy so easily, but they do. the pitterpatter of accidentals in "fools"'s guitar line, the gentle unison vocals of "we collide", the churning sea of "see what happens"- it all melds into something as rousing as it is calming.
