400 Lux Lyrics

We're never done with killing time
Can I kill it with you
'Til the veins run red and blue?
We come around here all the time
Got a lot to not do, let me kill it with you

You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again
We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
You drape your wrists over the steering wheel
Pulses can drive from here
We might be hollow but we're brave

(And I like you)
I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)
Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)
I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)
We move in the tree streets
I'd like it if you stayed

Now we're wearing long sleeves
And the heating comes on
(You buy me orange juice)
We're getting good at this
Dreams of clean teeth
I can tell that you're tired
But you keep the car on
While you're waiting out front

You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again
We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
You drape your wrists over the steering wheel
Pulses can drive from here
We might be hollow but we're brave

(And I like you)
I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)
Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)
I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)
We move in the tree streets
I'd like it if you stayed

We're never done with killing time
Can I kill it with you
'Til the veins run red and blue?
We come around here all the time
Got a lot to not do, let me kill it with you

(And I like you)
I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)
Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)
I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)
We move in the tree streets
I'd like it if you stayed

(And I like you)
(And I like you)
(And I like you)

What is the Meaning of 400 Lux?

Ah, the intoxicating allure of suburban ennui and teenage infatuation! This tune is a dreamy ode to young love in the 'burbs. It's all about killing time with someone special when there's nothing much to do - cruising around aimlessly, having deep conversations, and finding comfort in the mundane. The repeated line "And I like you" underscores the simplicity of their connection. Yet, there's an undercurrent of melancholy; they're "hollow like the bottles that we drain," suggesting a yearning for something more. But hey, they might be hollow, but at least they're brave enough to face it together. Lorde captures the beauty of ordinary moments with extraordinary people. So buckle up and enjoy this ride down memory lane!
