The final song on Souvlaki, “Dagger” was written during a retreat to a Welsh cottage by Neil Halstead in the summer of 1992. It is about a “fucked up relationship”, likely the one Neil and Rachel shared during the early days of the band.

[Verse 1]
The sunshine girl is sleeping
She falls and dreams alone
And me, I am her dagger
Too numb to feel her pain
[Chorus]
The world is full of noise, yeah
I hear it all the time
And me, I am your dagger
You know I am your wound
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
[Verse 2]
She whispers while I'm sleeping:
"I love you when you smile"
I didn't really lose you
I just lost it for a while
[Chorus]
The world is full of noise, yeah
I hear it all the time
You know I am your dagger
You know I am your wound
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
Dagger was written by Neil Halstead.
