Initially depressing and dark, the mood of this song abruptly changes after being ‘cut through with silver’.
When the history of drug use by Jason Pierce is taken into account, it seems likely that the song is about a high coming from heroin being injected into the veins.
[Verse 1]
You were born on a black day
Shot through with starlight
And all the angels singing
Just about got it right
[Verse 2]
Cut through with silver
And goodness did heaven know
I don't know where we're going
But darling bless your soul
[Chorus]
Baby, set my soul on fire
I've got two little arms to hold on tight
And I want to take you higher
Baby, never should say never
I've got a hurricane inside my veins
And I want to stay forever
[Verse 3]
Sweetheart, it may not be easy
But we're trying hard to hold on
Trying to make it better
[Verse 4]
Sweetheart, you get so much freedom
But freedom is just another word
When you've no one left to hurt
And I said
[Chorus]
Baby, set my soul on fire
I've got two little arms to hold on tight
And I want to take you higher
Baby, never should say never
I've got a hurricane inside my veins
And I want to stay forever
[Chorus]
Baby, set my soul on fire
I've got two little arms to hold on tight
And I want to take you higher
Baby, never should say never
I've got a hurricane inside my veins
And I want to stay forever
[Outro]
I've got two little arms to hold on tight
And I want to stay forever
I've got a hurricane inside my veins
And I want to stay forever
