Michelle Phan is an incredible makeup artist. She has a channel here on YouTube and most of her videos has Late Night Alumni's songs playing in the background :)
I really don't know why - but this song is extremely spiritual, sexual.. and veeery relieving. <3 Thank god Michelle used this music in her videos, haha.
@BigInka123 Eros was the love god of Greek mythology. It does mean love, espically if you look at the stories about Eros and Pysch, which that means "love and soul".
Well you know how Eros is the god of sexual love? Well they talk about sex in this song! "Building" a house upon Eros is referring to making Eros horny and giving him an erection (i.e. "erect" a house). The house being his penis. And the house is built or "erected" upon the sands of Eros, which is most likely his pubic hair, if it is blonde or fair coloured.
Then the next part "Can I do what Eros does?" means she wants to get horny as well, when Eros is gone or dead.
@topshite "What he does for us, he does for us" is get an erection so they can sit on it. And when he's gone they still want their sexual love and fantasies to hang around. They ask for him to be brought back because he's the best they've had. She sings about their house built upon him, again talking about his erection.
Their wavering haven is about their uterus walls breaking down for their period, also referenced in "And walls all beg to be abandoned".
@topshite The walls beg to be abandoned because they haven't had an egg implanted in them. "The raven calls" is about how moody and angry a girl gets during her period and how her lover and her want to forget those hard times so her shouts and wails, or "melodies", want to be forgotten. She tells us to blame Eros because he hasn't gotten her pregnant yet.
"I loved the way it was" - Eros has left, or has changed and she misses their old sexual adventures. "What he's done" - She's a wreck now.
@topshite You're taking this song WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to seriously. Im 100% sure this is about basing a relationship about sex and when it's gone then everything else in the relationship falls apart. But believe what you want.
I asked Becky about this song, and it's meaning and she said it had something to do with CS Lewis's books or something.. I wish I could remember exactly what she had said.
i love the lyrics to this video. LNA needs to get noticed alot more. their music needs to be shown more than ever. its different. unlike some of the music thats protrayed today...
@pearlycharm => According to Sigmund Freud, founder of the studio in the human psyche, Eros is targeting the sexual satisfaction, fulfillment and survival.
So when he's gone can I do what Eros does? What he does for us, he does for us. And when he's gone can it be the way it was? Bring him back to us. Is he all we've got Our house built upon? On the idol Eros? When our haven wavers in the wind And walls all beg to be abandoned, Blame the idol Eros. When the raven calls and all his melodies All long to be forgotten, Blame the idol Eros.
fuck you queenmoon555. youreee fuckn dumb dawwgggg. why doess everyonee talkk shit about mexicansss? we some down ass LATiNOSSSS. bet tha bitchh wouldntt sayy it to our facesss. dumb bitchh. get a lifee you fuckn idiot childishh cunt! and for all you fuckn racist fuckss! DiEEEEE.! (:
I agree with what msharpe7 said about the song. It sounds like in this song, she sings about how people build relationships (houses) upon Eros (greek personification of sex and lust) and when "he" is gone from the relationship, What's left? Nothing. You're stuck with someone you have nothing in common with. It was all built on infirm foundations (sand).
I think this is a gorgeous song worthy of some kind of reward. Long live Late Night Alumni!
@deathtoyouall Eros must be accompanied by Agape, the transcending factor beyond the corporal reality of our human existence. Eros instigates the initial attraction simply because we are corporal beings subject to the lure of the flesh, but agape perfects it through its metaphysical properties, namely love. Love involves both physical attraction as well as metaphysical and transcending properties. The two should not be separated. A house built strictly on Eros will indeed fall.
@M47W3R6C12 Astute observation. Love indeed is also an introductory factor, as well as a sort of gateway to experiencing intense emotions that would not be normally thought of, or automatically considered. Yet through trials and tribulations, after one has experienced such intensity, in most cases, would render one not regretting, and empowering the phrase "better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Just my two cents :]
@MARSKEE I believe love itself constitutes the human person. I also believe that emotions pour out of love, or lack thereof for that matter. Every human being is capable of receiving and giving love. Ultimately, we are all directed towards love. Some, however, choose otherwise. But you are absolutely right – it is best to experience love or loss, joy or pain etc. than nothing at all because they all contribute to the mystery and dignity of human person. Ultimately, love is a mystery to be lived
