Discover the story of the song > Kerosene – Crystal Castles

The song is about a person who is feeling weak and lost in life, and is being drowned in offers of charity and comfort from others. However, they feel like they need to clean themselves of impurity and dishonesty, and are willing to use kerosene to do so. They promise to protect and clean their partner's wounds, but at the same time they are trying to protect themselves from the harsh realities of the world.
