Song Description

love as imperialism

Lyrics

I was an island in uncharted seas
I cared for no one, no one cared for me
A deserted beach beyond everyone's reach
But you cast your anchor,
Burned your boat and sank her
Colinise me, I dont wanna be free


I was a stranger to all my own kind
You risked the danger to invade my mind
Held out your hand to a cold, barren land
You occupied it
then you civilized it
It's all right, I won't put up a fight


Conquest is so tender
This is my surrender
I give up, I give in...

I was a castle, my heart was the keep
I pulled up the drawbridge but you took a leap
You stormed my defences, awakened my senses
You're such a charmer
And you pierced my armour
You won the war and its you I adore
