Send Them Off! Lyrics

It was a slight on my honor, so he deserved it
But we're talking about the most brilliant mind this world's ever seen

I've got demons running round in my head
And they feed on insecurities I have
Won't you lay your healing hands on my chest?
Let your ritual clean

Soak the ropes with your holy water
Tie me down as you read out the words

Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind

Desdemona, won't you liberate me?
When I'm haunted by your ancient history
Close these green eyes and watch over as I sleep
Through my darkest of dreams

Be the power to compel me
Hold me closer than anyone before

Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind

I should be thinking 'bout nothing else when I'm with you ooh
With you ooh, oh oh oh
I should be thinking 'bout nothing else when I'm with you ooh
With you ooh, oh oh oh

Your mind exists somewhere altogether different
It lives in a world where feelings simply cannot be defined by words

Oh set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
Won't you exorcise my mind?

What is the Meaning of Send Them Off!?

This track by Bastille beautifully explores the internal battle of overcoming jealousy and insecurities. The singer is seeking liberation from these negative emotions, asking for an exorcism of his mind to free him from these tormenting thoughts. He yearns for peace and freedom, wanting to focus solely on his significant other when they're together instead of being haunted by past issues or fears. The mention of 'Desdemona' could be a reference to Shakespeare's Othello, symbolizing tragic love tainted by jealousy. Ultimately, it's a plea for emotional healing and personal growth, highlighting the power of love in overcoming personal demons.
