Scissor Sisters - Invisible Light Lyrics






At the doors of Babylon, You are my Zion,
Pacing Tiger, The keeper's cage,
Invisible light shoots from your eyes,
A sign I can see from my high rise,

Another castle crumbles, another monkey falls,
Just open up your joy and let the sailors climb the walls,
I thought I saw you laughing 10 feet in the air,
It doesn't matter if they touch you where because you can give me...

An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
looking for the tension
I can feel it with the fingers in my mind...

Opiate Utopia is hotter by the hour,
I found you a flower in a field,
My invention, among the tired, among the poor,
Among the broken, the huddled masses,
Its your time...

You answer to a new name that changes all the time,
I'll call you anything you want if I can say it's mine.
This story's never ending.
My footprint's been erased.
Here you are, kiss of Evil,
I see your mouth, Or is it really...

An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
Something really gets dimension,
Can't you feel it bend your sense of time...

Babylon,
Where bricks of water and diamonds tower,
Sailor's lust and swagger lazing in the moon's beams,
Who's laser gaze penetrates this sparkling theater of excess and strobed lights,
Painted Whores. Sexual Gladiators. Fiercely old Party Children.
All waked from their slumber to debut the Baccara.
Come to the Light! Into the Light! The Invisible Light...

    Whoever​ directed this video definitely has a penchant for Kenneth Anger.

  38. D.... W....

    MGMT, Little Dark Age? WTF? They were definitely at least inspired by this one.

    D.... W....

    I thought the exact same thing when I saw the MGMT video

  43. �.... �....

    Серебро сперли идею у этого клипа и сняли " перепутала"

  44. O.... R....

    Confuso ,y ecleptico de mis favoritos ,,

  51. V.... P....

    It's like "it's a sin" but different <3

  52. T.... K....

    I like the video and do get all the Dario Argento vibes coming from it, but just the thought of how it was concepted is giving me giggles. The director be like: "Ok, so we're having the roasted chicken, horses, naked girl, turtle... And yeah, there comes the clown in a shining outfit". Pretty amazing stuff.

  53. D.... ....

    I based a D&D campaign on this music video.

    D.... ....

    How'd that go?

    D.... ....

    What's the story?

  54. 5.... ....

    Tits to animal decapitation, wow how edgy. Fuck this band. Dropped

    5.... ....

    awww poor brony... the video is obviously playing off of early surrealist films like Luis Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou" however you reduced it to nothing more than "tits and animal decapitation". How unfortunate for you...

  55. W.... ....

    Very 80's!! And sometimes remeber me about Black Holes by Amanda Lear

  56. A.... R....

    The red hair of the scarlet woman; the goddess Ishtar ; Venus/Lúcifer/Desire, the true force that drives us

  57. I.... F....

    When I saw this in 2010, immediately felt in love with the so many creative scenes. Early 70s mod style. Btw, if you like these kind of clothes, just check out my store on Etsy (etsy.com/shop/elegantsilhouettes ), it's mainly dandy and maid.

  58. s.... d....

    one of the best music videos ever released. amazing cinematography, edition, imagery, acting... everything's on point. i don't really care about the song though. lol

    s.... d....

    sad drag queen yeap it is. It's from a catalunyan company CANADA

  59. m.... ....

    4 минутный шедевр

  60. A.... C....

    Easy. This videos talks about the threat of cheating.

  61. g.... ....

  62. �.... �....

    Отпусти меня ебучий спайс!

  63. L.... L....

    My second favorite by the band

  64. A.... K....

    Truly one of the best Live bands I have ever seen.

  65. T.... ....

    This video plays with some trippy themes, I can offer an interpretation. It's got a slight masonic twist. Masonic philosophy at is core of is way of interpreting religious ideas through universal concepts. These concepts are the "stones" of masonry, which initiates learn and reinterpret as they gain ranks with the organisation. The premise is that all human thought and behaviour can ultimately be reduced to religious thinking, which is primary, rather than analytic thinking, which is secondary. Masonic philosophy is ultimately a form of deistic spiritualism, that synthesises religious ideas from multiple faiths. Pantheism is understood as merely different expressions of some ultimate power or truth, different faces of God, which is why ultimate monotheism is a condition of being a mason. Different monotheistic religions are understood as simply different expressions of the same underlying power, and thus all are valid ways of worshipping the divine. Pantheism still features heavily in masonry though, because it provides way of breaking down and conceptualising the different forms religious thinking humans engage in. Also concepts like the devil are considered to be similarly just an expression of religious thinking. The idea of a real devil being something not taken seriously, as this would contradict the omnipotence of God. The only way the devil can exist is he is a sense "played" by God, or at very least created by him and allowed to exist (which are ultimately the same thing).

    The "invisible light" in this song thus refers to Lucifer, which literally means "light bringer/light bearer" and is actually the name morning star, a light that you can't see most of the time. In the masonic philosophy the light bearer is the symbol of the great "other". The bad thing that opposes itself to God in the minds of human beings in virtually all religions in history. Another way of thinking about it would be simply as the little voice we imagine in our minds tempting us do things that "god", the superego, doesn't want us to do. Pantheistic religions go much further than this, and don't simply create "God" and the "the devil", but go as far as to conceptualise each of the their perceived "powers", which are actually externalised wants and desires, onto imagined externalised "forms". E.g Ares is war, Aphrodite is lust. You can even do this in Christianity by looking at figures like Mary, the Saints, the Three Kings etc. Lucifer's "light" is also consider "invisible" because he is perceived by most as being evil. Becoming aware of Lucifier's light is an indication that one has become aware of that he can only and must be an agent of God.

    So bearing this in mind, we can analyse the themes in the song a bit more.
    So a picador is a Spanish bullfighter, they are symbol of both death and extreme masculinity, they also represent man overcoming nature, which is ultimately what bullfighting is all about, a man matching his wits and talents against the brutality of an animal in a way that is somehow made by more real by the fact the man is armed only with a dagger and a cape. Babylon is a the ancient biblical city of tower of Babel fame. Symbolically it represents the "first city". The first civilisation of man that arose after "man was created by God". The validity of this historically is completely irrelevant by the way, because it's about what Babylon represents, not what it actually was. Babylon was God's society, when man was one civilisation, before the nations were "scattered" with its fall. The fall of Babylon is popularly associated with the concept of corruption, which caused the fall. The Babylon's literally saw themselves as equal to God and tried to build a tower up to meet him.

    Chandiwira Beza - i think your spot on with your interpretation of this song and like most songs its open to each individuals interpretation of it.☺

    T.... ....

    Love this interpretation! Thank you :D

    T.... ....

    Almost. This video seems to be a woman who was molested as a child so now she represses her desires towards pain as a form of sexual pleasure since she feels guilty for enjoying what happened in the past.

    T.... ....

    oh for fucks sake kids, they just put some scenes from Belle de Jour from Buñuel and Suspiria from Dario Argento r, and a bit from Jodorowsky REMIX IT adn VOILA! you dont see it don`t you?

    T.... ....

    You should watch some Kenneth Anger films. The "trippy", dark Egyptian/occult visuals are the exact style of a Kenneth Anger film, let alone the subject of the lyrics.

  66. K.... T....

    listen to it loud it's very very awesome

  67. K.... T....

    listen to it loud it's really really awesome

    L.... W....

    Oh, wow. I didn't know but I loved that voice. Now I know why. Thank you for that information!

  73. U.... G....

    I think this video was inspired by the old 1970s horror movies. It has that classy look to it.

  74. N.... A....

    Esse clipe é muito bem feito! Excitante e hipnotizador..rsrsr Se INSCREVA no meu canal.
