Crystal Castles 'KEROSENE' Official

from the album (III)
produced by Ethan Kath
lyrics below..

"Kerosene"

Light of God dimming weak
Nothing's wrong go back to sleep
Lost the will at infancy
Drown them in charity
Lend them comfort for sorrow
Enthusiasm they borrow
I can clean impurity
Wash away with kerosene

Can't offend my modesty
Thank you for defiling me
Language pure as binary
Instruct with dishonesty
In nature there's no tragedy
Bandage them in tapestry
Trade comfort for identity
Drown me in kerosene
Kerosene

I'll protect you from
All the things ive seen
And I'll clean your wounds
Rinse them with saline
Kerosene

This song is 10 years old?!!! I couldn't believe it. It sounds so modern and ahead of it's time.

This music simultaneously awakens the past and the future, victory and defeat, sadness and joy, pain and pleasure, all at once.

FYI: Woman in this album cover is Fatima al-Qaws embracing her son Zayed who is suffering from the effects of tear gas after taking part in a street demonstration against the then-ruling President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Sana'a, Yemen, on October 15, 2011.

Kerosene was the song that fit this picture the best. I could almost hear the mother whispering so many of the words to her son.

[ParnellAlexis]

The meaning of "Kerosene" by Crystal Castles is a commentary on how society tries to cleanse or absolve itself of responsibility for its actions. The song's narrator is speaking to someone who is struggling and trying to help them find a way out. The narrator offers to help them by cleaning their wounds and rinsing them with saline. The suggestion of kerosene as a cleansing agent can be seen as a metaphor for something that cleanses away the impurities of one's life. The song is a commentary on how society tends to overlook suffering and try to push it away with a false sense of charity, when instead of offering a real solution, with real healing, we should recognize the trauma and pain of those we serve and make a concerted effort to support and aid them.

It's crazy this song came out over 4 years ago... Looking back to where I was at that point, I had this song on repeat the day it came out... no job, back living with my mom, literally sleeping on the couch in her living room. III was my escape from reality. Shit was tough..but I have somehow got my shit together now, a job I love, a family of my own. It's absolutely crazy how much my life has changed since then but this song will always remind me of when I was at my lowest, I somehow morphed the lyrics of this song to reflect my own life at the time. Now it's kind of an anthem of mine to remind myself to figure shit out and 'man up' and make shit happen. I'm sure this song wasn't intended to mean anything like that but it does to me and I thank you for that.

This song makes you feel like the main character.
It makes you feel like you're destined for success.

[STAstudiosTcfhatesUTTP]

I think in another 10 years this album will be remembered as a masterpiece.

"I'll protect you from all the things i've seen."
Might be my favorite goddamn line in a lyrics, it just hits so hard for me that it kinda makes me feel emotional.

[EduardoRoldanRoldanconacento]

I'll protect you from all the things i've seen.
