Arcade Fire's "Porno" song... Reads my mind

Still in the absolute bliss in the contemplative hearing of Arcade Fire's brilliant and inspirational new album, "Reflektor".

Here are the poetical lyrics from the song "Porno".

And I could mean every single word...



--

"PORNO"


You take the makeup
Off your eyes
I've got to see you
Hear your sacred sighs
Before the break up
Comes the silence
I'm talking to you
You say you're over it
But I know


I thought I knew you
You thought you knew me
But now that you do
It's not so easy now
That I know


You can cry, I won't go
You can scream I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
They don't know that we know
Never know what we know


And all your makeup
Just take it all off
I've got to find you
Before the line is lost
I know I hurt you
I won't deny it
When I reach for you
You say, I'm over it
But I know


You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
Little boys with their porno
Oh, I know they hurt you so
If I don't know what I know
It can be so little that we know
But the cup it overflows
Little boys with their porno
But this is their world
Where can we go?


Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
Can you see me?


You can cry I won't go
You can scream, I won't go
Little boys with their porno
Little boys with their porno
Makes me feel like something's wrong
It's the only world we know
Yeah, something's wrong
Little boys with their porno


And boys they learn
Some selfish shit
Until the girl
Won't put up with it
On and on and on we go
I just have to know


I'm not over it
I'm not over it
You say love is real
Like a disease
Come on tell me please
I'm not over it
I'm not over it
Wait...
