Shake It Out

 

“Shake It Out” from “Ceremonials” by Florence + The Machine

 

“So here’s to drinks in the dark, at the end of my road
And I run into suffer and I run into hope
It’s a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven for the devil in me”

 

“And it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off”

  2. “Finally I was unbound and bidden to take my place in the north, the place of greatest darkness, to show that I had taken only the first step in a long and difficult road.”
  3. “For over a century, wars and technologies have dreamed of being ahead of their day. In reality, however, they are forced to engage in recursions that burrow into ever deeper pasts.”

  5. “You say — but Oh! my Marion’s kiss Shall linger on my palate still, No joy on earth is like to this That we have tasted to our fill Of all our sweet lascivious will. The cup is drained of lust’s delight, Yet wells with pleasure, and by night I’ll come once more and loving lie Between thine amorous limbs, despite That we must part and love must die.”
