About

I believe this song is about Paul reading the works of Roberto Bolaño. The priest likely references By Night in Chile, and Mexico City could refer to any number of his books, but Savage Detectives seems the most obvious.

I Recognise the Light Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I visit South America via a deadman’s words:
Undercover priests and barren parks
I visit through a different man’s images
Exercising in his underwear
Laminating the past (x2)

[Hook]
I’ve never been to Mexico City
But I recognise the light
I’ve never been to Santiago
Its history keeps me up at night
Its history keeps me up at night
It keeps up at night (x2)
Hey!

[Verse 2]
People sell mobile phone holsters in shaded kiosks
In an urban sprawl that moves at a crawl
I once took a European night train
But now I wait for something to enter the frame
Enter the frame (x2)

[Hook] (x2)
