Samson Lyrics

Regina Spektor

You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of wonder bread And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us The Bible didn't mention us Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came falling on our heads But there just told light, there just told light Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red He told me I was beautiful And came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light And he kissed me till the morning light
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonderbread And went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

kavadas

what does this song mean?

talkstoangels77

I think it's meant to be a modern version of Samson and Delilah from the Bible, from Delilah's point of view. Also about how she feels bittersweet about loving him, because it was a beautiful but tragic bond that the two of them shared.

santa55 is right about the lyrics

santa55

it's "but they're just old light, they're just old light" not "but there just told light" (what would that even mean?) there vs. they're people, it's not that hard
