Crystal Castles - Affection Lyrics






Catch a moth hold it in my hand
Crush it casually
Without past I can't disappoint
My ancestry
Forever can I sleep inside
Your menagerie

Catch a moth hold it in my hand
Crush it casually
Without past I can't disappoint
My ancestry
Forever can I sleep inside
Your menagerie

We drown in pneumonia not
Rivers and streams

    Nothing makes you stronger than crystal castles III. It makes you terrified of the world and yourself equally. You affirm the darker tones of life. Makes you hate yourself a little bit, but you come out of it a shine brighter than before.

  26. V.... ....

    I'm in love with this song !

  27. W.... ....

    I listened to this while high. My life changed. Woah.

  37. Y.... M....

    masterpiece

  38. A.... B....

    I don't get why this masterpiece was never played live. There are so many emotions in this song :( And what makes it even more emotional is that Alice isn't part of the CC anymore.

  39. E.... N....

    Got that sexy ass hip hop beat!!

  45. O.... ....

    Persisting Perception By Dark

    Her voice is so sweet

  48. M.... K....

    imagine this song without reverb :}

  49. M.... ....

    Como eu amo essa música puta merda...

  50. V.... ....

    I absolutely love this song. At one of the happiest times of my life, me and 4 good friends got together and just sat in silence in each other's presence with this song playing. I can't describe the feeling I had as anything more than pure love, but the energy in the room between all of us was overwhelming. The memory I have of that time, and the feeling I had, come back when I hear this song and I will never forget that feeling of pure love, and total joy. This is my favorite song for a reason 💙

    V.... ....

    Kill nostalgia

  51. I.... V....

    this song makes me want to cry....I don't even know why

  52. Q.... S....

    ~Music of dreams~
    Greetings from Poland

  53. H.... F....

    This song is the strongest emotional punch ever, it's like watching something you love being destroyed, but it's so beautiful you can't look away

    H.... F....

    This is very addicting, love Alice's lyrics!!

    H.... F....

    You made me cry with that description.

  58. m.... ....

    m.... ....

    it sounds like in YOUR hand, she is definitely singing in YOUR hand

  59. F.... ....

    I dont know who will read that, but I love every single one of you dudes from Crystal Castles

    F.... ....

    agree...Alice was better but Edith isn't bad at all, was worried a bit about that

    F.... ....

    CelticWolf Celtic, which of them recorded the studio version of this song? I'm guessing alice

  60. D.... f....

    i was looking for this for years

  61. A.... R....

    RESPECT YOUR PAST ETHAN
    ALL IS SAFE IN CRYSTAL CASTLES APART FROM ALICE.

  62. E.... E....

    Affection and Sad Eyes videos are deleted. It's really too bad why they did this. Alice is shared something about this. CC is really dead now. RIP CC 2004-2015

    E.... E....

    Emircan Emirle I don't miss Alice at all. Edith has such a magical voice apart from Alice's screech.

    E.... E....

    Emircan Emirle atleast there is Suffocation video.

    E.... E....

    S.... S....

    Codename Klabautermann XD

    S.... S....

    That's exactly what I did with my hs girl, haha. Right from school to that hidden parking spot in the woods.

    This song is like feeling every possible emotion at once. Hard to pinpoint what this song makes me feel but whatever it is it's definitely addictive. Great stuff!!!

  70. S.... E....

    trop bon

  71. J.... W....

    I hate when it ends, but then I just replay it.

    J.... W....

    James Wilson loop! <3

  72. P.... J....

    someone please tell me what this song means

    P.... J....

    +Percy Jackson Think it's about losing or missing a loved one...

    P.... J....

    @Thisisnotanid45 all i know is alice's voice haunts me 

    P.... J....

    Maybe about prostitution and Stockholm syndrome.

  73. C.... S....

    This song is amazing. the feelss

  74. K.... C....

    Ethan Is an awesome producer

  75. S.... N....

    Last single of Crystal Castles to have Alice Glass in it, too bad she left the band.

    S.... N....

    And I have Amnesty (I) now and it's amazing. Definitely holds up as a cc album and is a good transition from (III). It seems to be the most focused of the albums and it's really dark though in an entirely different way than (III) which is nice.

    S.... N....

    Call Me Titus I don't miss her screeching. Edith is nice too, but Ethan is my baby daddy.

    S.... N....

    He's your baby daddy but he sleeps with me in my Mexican blankets!!

    S.... N....

    Edith Noriega

    Huh... odd.

  76. C.... K....

    This song is sex and drugs in unison.

    C.... K....

    Hehe, you know what's up

    C.... K....

    This song is sex that leads to a baby!

  77. t.... ....

    this girl has one of the most beautiful pair of lips ever

  78. S.... F....

    what song is this? 

  79. q.... n....

    Reminds me of tyga's rack city

  80. a.... c....

    needed this today.

  81. J.... R....

    Goddamn poetic song... Love it.

    J.... R....

    whats about

  82. t.... ....

    it reminds me of  Ayo technology -50 Cent ft. Justin Timberlake .

  83. J.... B....

    My song for calculus homework

  84. N.... O....

    ok, how can you not think of timbaland when hearing that intro

    N.... O....

    @Nathan Ochoa
    Because I've never actually listened to someone whose name is ripoff of a clothing company.

    N.... O....

    @Nathan Ochoa It's too late to apologiiiiize...

    N.... O....

    I bet he's in the studio thinking they aight. Why's he in the studio listening to Crystal Castles you ask because his friend Tuba with a lazy eye introduced them to him. Why does Timbaland have a friend named Tuba with a lazy eye you ask, because Timbaland is friends with everyone.

    N.... O....

    This song is a more lofi and sad version of Justin timberlake My Love ft. T.I. with Alice's vocals.

    N.... O....

    Edith Noriega That reminds of how Taylor Swift's out of the woods and CC's celestica were filled at the same graveyard. people were saying Tay ripped them off but I didn't think she even watched the video or even knew who they were.

  85. J.... ....

    RIP CC :(

    J.... ....

    Crowd control?

    J.... ....

    @dasdasdsds dasdasdas Crystal Castles, they broke up back in October of 2014, sad days :(

  86. J.... ....

    Perfect. This is such an amazing song because it fits any mood.

    J.... ....

    Gotta try listen to it at least once every day or other day, me at least.... this song hit me hard the first time I bumped into her.... catch a moth and hold it in my hand. Crushing castles beneath a grain of sand, in my foot feet hands. Crush and roll, such a sweet feather dust... away, away...... so far away and light. A moth into the night, I love this song!

  87. N.... H....

    Increíble me encanta esa mezcla de sonidos :)

  88. b.... ....

    what is being said in the background?

    b.... ....

    I think it's in the description. 💙

  89. T.... T....

    Can someone please tell me what genre of music this is? I need to find more of it lol

    T.... T....

    @MR48LINEBACKER im not normally into rap but Yung Lean- Yoshi City fits in great with these songs. You might want to look into chillwave/trillwave (the rap hiphop version of chillwave), since that's what I'm God is. 

    T.... T....

    Alternative. It's in the iTunes album. The genre should be under there.

    T.... T....

    crystal castles isn't 'alternative'.

    T.... T....

    @Mechafiend Maybe also try out Shadow of Tonight by M△S▴C△RA, and Lost Generation by Unison. And you're definitely right, people's favorites vary a lot in this genre, as can the music itself, so I'm gonna take a listening trip through your list there and see what works for me

    T.... T....

    Witch House man only that.

  90. f.... ....

    CSI: NY

  91. J.... C....

    im lit right now and this sounds heavenly
