Oh, please don't go... I'll eat you up — I love you so!
Won't you stay? Won't you love me — love me all the way?

From various Reflektor lyrics, a myth of Orpheus and Eurydice <3

Hey, Eurydice!
Can you see me?
I will sing your name
Till you're sick of me

I think I saw what happens next.
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you,
Like looking through a window,
Or a shallow sea.
Could you see me?
And after all this time,
It's like nothing else we used to know.

But I know you can see
Things that we can't see
But when I say I love you
Your silence covers me
Oh, Eurydice, it's an awful sound.

Heard a voice like an echo.
But it came from me.
“Please stop wondering why you feel so sad
When you already know…
Already know
It's time to go”
She said

You came home from school,
Knew you had to run.
Please stop running now,
Just let me be the one.

I was standing beside you
By a frozen sea
Will you ever get free?
Just take all your pain
Just put it on me
So that you can breathe.

I know there's a way
We can make 'em pay
Think it over and say
“I'm never going back again”

I know they hurt you so.
They don't know what I know.
It's so little that we know,
But the cup it overflows.

And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on
in the dead lights of the afterglow,
After all the bad advice
That had nothing at all to do with life
I've gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout.
If telling the truth is not polite
Then I guess you'll have to fight.

There's so much inside you
That you won't let me see
You fly away from me
But it's an awful sound
When you hit the ground

Now, the signals we send, are deflected again
We're still connected, but are we even friends?
We fell in love, alone on a stage
In the reflective age

We stood beside a frozen sea.
I saw you out in front of me.
Reflected light, a hollow moon,
Oh Eurydice (Orpheus),
It's over too soon.
