Additional information
According to Dominic Howard, this song is about writing music,[1] singing[2] and the finding of non-religious absolution through both.[1][2] He described the process of song writing as starting with things one does not understand and the result as feeling better about them.[3]
An acoustic version was released on the Butterflies & Hurricanes single. Live, the song was played from 2003 through 2005 and occasionally in 2007.
Lyrics
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful
Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew
Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace
There's no where left to hide In no one to confide The truth burns deep inside And will never die
Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful
Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace
Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace
Our wrongs Remain unrectified And our souls Won't be exhumed
