Have you ever being with your lover in a closed room? Just you two loving each other, not caring about the whole world. I think that's the only moment where everyone would wish death to arrive. A poet known as Majnun Layla really did,and he said: "If only your grave were mine, if our funerals could share the same earth."
PS: Today's song was suggested by a dear friend.
Context
The song's title " A little death " is a reference to a french saying " la petite mort " it means the sensation you feel after an orgasm. Relaxation,diziness and kind of loss of consciousness, all described as a little death.(The lead vocalist and the creative heart of The Neighbourhood) discovered he had total color blindness, so most of the album is white and black. I think the little death after an orgasm can give light/color to his life, it may seem sexual but it's the most happy you will ever be. Specially if you love the person you are with.
Lyrics
Vacancy was lit, the guests were checking in
The concierge was cold
The water pipes had mold all over them
The room was fit for two
The bed was left in ruins
The neighbor was knocking, yeah
But no one would let him in
The setup is in a house party where two lovers are in bed alone, the neighbor knocking designates the world's problems following them, the detailed description gives listeners a deep imagination, it's like you are daydreaming of this. We all do. With both lovers fucking on that bed while the house is on party mode and the neighbor is knocking, it means fuck the world, with it's bad and good. I don't want none of it, I want you.
Dancing through the night
A vodka and a sprite
A glimpse of the silhouettes
A night that they never forget
Dancing in that room feels like heaven, even though we are drunk but i will never forget your love. Many treat sex as a bad and animal thing to do. Sex is the most beautiful way to say I love you, i wanna feel inside of you, really be the closest you'll ever be.
She sought death on a queen-sized bed
And he had said, "Darling, your looks can kill,
So now you're dead
All boys are chasing after her, who will she chase after? She is dead out of lack of love. Many girls do suffer this, all boys simping over them. She needs a man but can't find none, between those who want to control her body and those who want to control her minds. Where is her lover?
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
If you have ever felt the touch of a true lover, you'll feel goosebumps all over your body, a feeling really close to ascending, like your mind is in another planet. It surpasses being drunk or on drugs, it's love. It makes us feel human, with today's boring lives we have: school,bars,job.... the only thing that we hope will bring our true selves out is the touch of a lover. A true one.
Conclusion
Sex was made for both animals and humans, the only thing that distinguishes us from them is love. When I say "them" I don't certainly mean animals.
