“Softly” is the longest track on the album and one of the quietest song the Banshees' ever did.
It is about a vanished lover. The singer is recounting the last few beautiful moments she had with him.
Softly into your broken veins
Softly into the broken dreams
Will you ever come home?
Will you ever be found?
Standing on shattered windowpane
Softly I whisper your name
Concealed in bedclothes of frosting cold
Softly the snowflakes start to fall
The fleecing velvet skin
Suspended in frozen time
Icicles slowly drip outside
To the rhythm of your wounds here inside
I entered your dream
I entered your scheme
Softly to swim inside your veins
Softly in rippling cellophane
To float and glide in time
To the rushing in your brain
I wanted your lips
Yes, I wanted your kiss
So softly the moment was gone
So softly the moment had flown
My body outside yours
Softly collects the falling snow
And disappears far away
So softly
Softly
Softly was written by Budgie (Drummer) & Siouxsie & Steven Severin.
Softly was produced by Stephen Hague.
