"you talk in paragraphs, i write my sentence"--- that line illustrates that he's the one with no important things to say and thus the weaker one; the one who's tired of the seriousness and wants to dream with her. then Bribri's voice rises as he sings, "you better keep it in check or you'll end up a wreck and you'll never wake up", which sounds like the stronger spouse telling the narcoleptic 'i told you so'. backwashmyhairon March 23, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

But I love it, anyway... All I can figure out of the song is that it is probably for a relationship which didn't work out because they had different priorities. I've heard that Brian had first thought of the title 'Sleep And Drugs Are One Big Pillow' for the song. teenagewifeon May 16, 2009 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I think the the "narcolosepy" is basically his wishes, "dreams" that it had worked. I think the "you bet it keep it in check or you'll end up a wreck and you'll never wake up" is a warning to his partner that if they don't change they'll never find what they're looking for, but he's accepted that whatever, it won't be with him.

When she put up her defense wall it crushed him and his ability to put himself out there, out of fear. Like a game - offense and defense. You talk in paragraphsI write my sentenceYou frame the photographI sit on fencesShe ends up becoming more in love with him and he just doesnt know what hes doing any more or how he feels because of the uncertainty, her first rejections, and most likely his own addictions. Change of season, love can dieHe's bipolar and drugs can make you detatched. Being bipolar your moods can change drastically with the changes in seasons, you find yourself doing or feeling the exact opposite sometimes. If we tear out the tumor, it's later never sooner.. It's about him getting clean - it doesnt happen immediately. It could also be about the feelings they have inside or she has - its like a tumor and it eats you up inside - it takes a while to get rid of it. You'd better keep it in checkOr you'll end up a wreckAnd you'll never wake upThis is actually her writing to him or telling him he needs to get his shit together. But he's too busy being fucked up or uncertain or set in his ways to realize that he's giving up something great. It's not treason, it's no lie-He meant every thing he said but is too all over the place and wrapped up in his own narcoleptic like state from being detached or through his own addictions. Knowing the actual life of brian helps a lot more than peoples wild and random guesses on here. morgan1046on June 22, 2014 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I can break down my interpretation:"Slip and stumble at my first offensesIt's not treason, it's no lieYou talk in paragraphsI write my sentenceIt's not treason, it's no lie"Expression of how he is in a relationship were he cannot defend or justify his actions/ intentions properly, however these actions/ intentions are not meant as a betrayal against his partner. He feels as if his partner is over powering conversation, while he is saying or getting little across of how he feels. "It seemed a place for us to dream [Repeat: x4]"The relationship is an illusion a mere fallacy of what it should be. "Crush and crumble under your defensesIt's not treason, it's no lieYou frame the photographI sit on fencesChange of season, love can die"He feels as if he cannot stand up for his feelings or point of view. He also feels as if his partner undervalues his feelings by defending his/her actions the whole time. His partner also feeds the illusion more by hanging up pictures of them, while he is unsure of how he feels or if it would work, since things can change "love can die", although it was there before (seasons). "If we tear out the tumorIt's later, never soonerIf we tear out the tumorIt's later, never sooner"This may refer to the both of them putting off addressing or ending the relationship, even though it is not beneficial to them anymore, but toxic. "You'd better keep it in checkOr you'll end up a wreckAnd you'll never wake upYou'd better keep it in checkOr you'll end up a wreckAnd you'll never wake upWake up x3"Here he states that he should not just be asleep to this issue and monitor it or ultimately make a decision regarding it, otherwise it might end in tears and destroy him psychologically or he might never end it and stay in this illusion of what might have been. lehandra10on May 09, 2017 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I should say now, I almost always interpret things spiritually. I guess I take the words and make them my own. I usually write novels when I post so I\'ll keep it short :)But ok - to ME - it\'s about looking beyond the physical - beyond what is in front of your eyes and also within yourself - and realizing that the questions we seek answers to will not be found \'outside\', but inside. Through the storm fronts....throughout all the chaos we endure here on this plane - we will return to the form we arrived from - light beings that are eternal - always were and always will be. _faye_on April 22, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

This is definitely a spiritual song. Not necessarily in a Christian god way. More of a general "we are much more than our physical selves" thing. When they did this song on tour, Ronan said, "The lyrics of this song are for each and every one of you" so it's obviously an important song to him. He also mentioned it being his favorite song to preform live. ^_^RockNRollSuicideon June 14, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

One of my favorite stanzas:"Across the ages, we have reigned as we enduredThrough the storm fronts we will ever surely passTo stand as never ending light"To me, this song describes our constant struggle to better ourselves. Throughout history we have struggled through so so much hardship (storm fronts), and will surely experience more in the future, yet in the end, we will always endure, and stand as never ending lights. Throwing away the mantle refers to disgarding our false symbols of authority and realizing that the power to change the world is in our hands. Yet this revalation will not come to us while our hearts and minds remain closed and divided--that is, divided as a race--humanity, as we continue to fight eachother over ridiculous things (if looked at from a broader perspective). But that's just my humble opinion. =)MrMaroukaon December 29, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Concentric circles and neverending light are two key images in the Kabbalah cosmos. The idea of "this is not all there is" I think is a reference to the relationship between the accessible, finite projection of God and God's true infinite nature. Ronan has also mentioned in interviews that he uses Kabbalah symbolism sometimes. musicheckon April 11, 2008 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

They devote so much time touring, that they're ready to actually go and live their lives. It's not a physical death, but a death of the band. He's asking, no pleading "Let me go." He's ready to put an end to this part of his life, a willing death, suicide. Its like he's impatient because he says the "rocks are waiting" twice, like something is preventing him from going thru with it. He needs the support of fans, friends, or family to "die."

There is so much promise for the relationship and it's exciting but it doesn't feel right because they already have separate lives that the potential of this relationship is confusing. They wanna make a move, and then when they do, it all falls apart. And then one person is able to move on from what was promised, while the other can't let it go. It seems really sad to me.

That was just my interpretation.

My boyfriend lives far away & it has been extremely hard for us to make it but we love each other so we make it work. He is the male version of myself and when we met i felt like I could see into his soul and we are people who don't let other people in but because we are so much alike, we've always removed our masks to each other. We have made promises to each other n both of us are aware of what the other promised n we live for the day we can be together. Its hard being so far apart but songs like this make it easier because when I hear this, I know there is a future for us someday. I know we will make it through this rough patch of uncertainty n not really knowing whats going to happen to being together soon. We have plans to kiss the sun at night meaning we have plans for the future & neither one of us will forget what is promised here. & at the end when he says "no one knows what we feel"... its really hard to maintain a relationship like ours from so far. A lot of people in both our lives are skeptical and don't believe it will really work out but we both know how we feel and no one will ever break us. & I know this is what we both want n we always keep each other guessing n craving more n more so even though right now it doesn't feel right, when we are together for real, it will be everything. :)evilprincess69on December 11, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

As you get to know them better and you become closer (taking the mask off), will they fulfil your expectations and hopes? inderhouseon July 31, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

I agree with the majority of the comments. Its about meeting someone for the first time, getting to know them enough to like them and contemplating whether the two of you have a future. I love the line: "I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts". There is that spark, that excitement in the moment, the thought that this might be the one, after all the searching. I put this on a mixed tape for just such a girl recently. Let's hope there is still such a thing as true love.

But the lines "We made plans to kiss the sun at night, Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types" at the beginning give a sense of hopelessness when it comes to love--> people dream of the impossible (kissing the sun at night)which is probably 'true love', them being the "hopeless dreamers, hopeless types". they know it can't be done yet they still dream of it... and here comes this person that you meet and you can "read their thoughts" right away, and in all your hopelessness you think that you could actually have something with this person, that it "could feel right"And you don't know where this is going but you're just waiting for them to "make [their] move" so that you can "dance to [their] rythm". And then the "masks" come off as you really build something together. ... just a more "in-depth" thought, since i am absolutely obsessed with this songashot2rememberon September 26, 2010 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

"You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water"- Josh and Hayley were very close, even dated at one point, but now she sees him very differently. "We started drowning, not like we'd sink any farther"- She's talking about how the band was always in turbulence because of Josh, and how they were basically a ticking time-bomb with everything that went down while recording Brand New Eyes. "But I let my heart go, it's someone down at the bottom"- Josh always talks about how Chad (Hayley's current boyfriend) changed her. She's saying that her heart is still back in time when they were still a band, because she obviously cares about them in a way. "I'll get a new one, and come back for the hope that you've stolen"- Basically saying that she'll eventually get over everything, and that Josh can't take her hope away. "I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster and eating us alive"- Josh's blog was basically nothing but trashing Hayley, and trying to turn the fans against her. It's pretty much a metaphor saying that he can't turn the fans against her. "Don't you every wonder how we survive?" - Like I stated above, Josh tried to bury Paramore, especially Hayley. "Well now that you're gone, the world is ours"- Self-explanatory. They feel liberated now that they're gone and the troubles are behind them. "I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me"- Saying she makes mistakes, and admitting she made some during their troubles. "But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching"- Josh is a devout Christian, and had often used bible verses against Hayley. He even made a huge fuss about a line in the song careful, "The truth never set me free, so I did it myself." He took offense to that line. "Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims"- Another line about Josh trying to call Hayley out, and she's saying it hurt the fans. "And they're getting stronger, I hear them

I'll refer to these as Scene 1, Scene 2, and Scene 3, respectively, from now on. However, I don't see anything in Scene 3 with a lot of significance, so I probably won't mention that much. It starts out with Scene 3, and soon shows some parts of Scene 1, though the band hasn't started playing yet. Then, sparks fly from a lamp and the band starts playing during the transition to the chorus. During the chorus, it starts showing certain rooms of Scene 2, but the rooms are all messed up, with chairs moved and flipped over, vases broken, and objects scattered all over the place. Finally, the band shows up in the rooms of the hospital, but they're separated: Hayley on a hospital bed, Jeremy in the hallway, and Taylor in what seems to be a living room or maybe a waiting room. I noticed that the rooms during this part are very clean and not messy at all, which makes me think this is the past or a flashback, and the broken rooms earlier were part of the future. So they're just sitting around, then when the transition to the chorus begins, the band from Scene 1 starts to hit the walls, stomp on the ground, or jump and kick around at the walls, and whenever any of these happen, it seems to cause an explosion for Scene 2 and sparks to fly. With the lights flickering and exploding, the rooms shaking, and things falling, the band escapes from the rooms they're in. At the end of the bridge (or last verse, whatever you want to call it), they happen to end up in the same room, but still need to escape from the building. During the chorus, the band in Scene 1 keep hitting the walls, causing more and more explosions, but near the end of the chorus, they stop playing. Finally, the Scene 2 band, as they run away, they end up in the room that the Scene 1 band was in, and are ready to start playing. In summary, the music vid

The Farro exit statement (posted on Joshs blogspot) was basically a letter to the fans bashing Hayley, trying to call her out, and casting blame in an obvious attempt to turn the fans against her, portraying her as the villain, and Josh as the good guy ( You can tell josh wrote it because he slipped up a few times saying "I" instead of "we", ex: "Zac and I came to the decision that it was time to leave the band..." )Hayley is saying that josh's critisims don't effect her or paramore. I think in the second verse she is confronting what he says about her, saying that she makes mistakes like everybody else, but she's not the bossy, self centered, cause-of-every-single-problem princess he tried to make her out to be. Now that he's gone, Paramore is a stronger band than ever, renewed, full of possibilities, nothing holding them back anymore, drama free.

"And we started drowning..." - possibly about the farros not liking the way things are going? maybe shes saying that they werent getting along? "But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen" - she will eventually get over the farros leaving. it DOES seem like all hope is lost when you lose your main guitar player and your drummer!! "Well now that your gone, the world is ours" - this is pretty obvious but shes saying that they are going to get even stronger from the loss of their band members. they will probably gain a lot of publicity from this. i mean... even that special they showed on mtv all about the farros leaving... that was a big deal. wasnt that like an hour long? or longer? anyway, they are still paramore.. a very successful band. and the world is theirs. they still have their fans. "but I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching. Call me a traitor..." - THIS is intense!! she is totally talking about what josh released online... the letter or whatever... about how he thought paramore was really just all about hayley and her dream and the band was just extra... or something like that, i don't really remember, i only skimmed it. but its just so... OUTRIGHT the way hayley says it! that shes not the bad guy here. "Well you find your strength in solutionsBut I liked the tensionAnd not always knowing the answersBut you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it" - i like what shes saying here. the band doesnt always have to agree on everything. its okay to disagree. but now that the farros have left, they are missing out. they will no longer be in paramore... whatever band they join or form will most likely not be as good or successful. it takes a long time to build up the fame that paramore already has. xocarriecherryxoon July 18, 2011 Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @xocarriecherr

You can tell by their set of outfits which scenes are which. You'll notice that in the scenes where they are running from the collapse of the hospital, which I'm sure signify the world "turning into a monster (turning against them)" at the end of it after the three isolated band members meet up and start run together as a group they run into the dead end room where their counterparts seemed to be wallowing in agony (hitting and kicking the walls) but when they arrive their counterparts have vanished almost as if they had ascended leaving their gear behind (microphone, guitars, etc) and all becomes peaceful. itirnitiion July 29, 2011 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The song is on the transformers sound track, so it's not directly aimed at the Farro Brothers... BUT, if it IS aimed at the Farro brothers, Hayley is full of crap. From what I have observed, Hayley CONFIRMED IT HERSELF that nearly the entire blog entry that Josh posted as well as almost all of the accusations made by Josh (especially about Hayley being a solo project and Josh and Zac being "add-ons" to her) were confirmed TRUE... Yes, HAYLEY WILLIAMS admitted Josh was NOT lying.... If she actually directed this song at the Farro brothers, she should be ashamed of her two-faced behavior. My guess is that is ISN'T aimed at them... Come on, it's on the transformers 3 soundtrack...

However, every time I listen to this song I can't help but have a religious interpretation pop up in my head, even though I myself and not a very religious person. I think this song vaguely refers to Christ, Lucifer, and us humans. This song is like a journey of the world, as in the first verse is exclusively in the point of view of a human. They describe their relationship with god, or Jesus Christ. "You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water" refers to his or her belief in God now. The human is gradually losing faith in their own God and religion. "But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen" ---This line seems to be almost like a betrayal to God. The human is saying I don't want you anymore, so I'll go find something better. Apparently they're doing this because God hasn't proved his existence to them. The second verse is the scariest one to me because it is dialogue between an entity and a human. This verse is the point of view of Lucifer, or Satan, whom is the fallen angel that some people believe was a poor victim of God's furious wrath. They begin by saying, "I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me" which obviously every human has. However, this upcoming verse proves that it is not a human speaking, but a higher being. "Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims." Could this be a remark made by Satan towards God? Lucifer insists that he's "not the villain, despite what you're always preaching." Hm. And Satan concludes that his power over the world is growing. "And they're getting stronger. I hear them calling" may refer to the widespread influence Satan is having. The bridge seems to be a taunt at the fading army of God. "But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it" refers to God's influence in the world. Satan is also recollecting a past relationship possibly with God because now he knows he is in control. The chorus is the icing on the cake. Both the human and Lucifer agree and

Current memories. Not much has changed. I know the truth. I’ve dealt with it always have. However I never adapted to it. No one knows what I’ve truly experienced and never has. I had a best friend one night though. Mommy dearest and everyone always said I play the victim although they were the ones that always did. I wasn’t playing one. I was one. Found solace again.

Just the icing on the cake. I suppose we all have a little monster in us and are victims in our own way. We all have life experiences that shape us. However my sibling always does that to whomever she dates and especially to her friends. Turns everyone against me. I can safely say I’m not angel and she’s the main monster and chooses to be to trick people. She’s a phony and disingenuousness.

However, before this "Apocalypse" she once had someone whom was there for her 'til he betrayed her and left her for dead. Therefore, this person has created a sort of "Apocalyptic" time for them, turning everyone against them and her hence the saying "But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching. The song also says that she is not a traitor but just collecting the person's victims. This in my opinion says that she has done nothing wrong and that this person has done this betrayal thing before her. Finally leading up to how she says she will stop the whole world from following in this person's wrong ways. Just my opinion! Lol black ops fan and yes I am a CHICK!!!

She is talking to herself, and she is saying you used to be so solid, so sure, and then you started sinking and now, I am someone I am not. I am becoming someone else, who I dont really like and I broke my promise to myself that I would stay me forever, or something like that. Maybe, like- she thinks she is a monster now.

Well now that your gone, the world is oursThe whole world can be judgemental-hell, we are judgemental. So, she wants to say maybe that she wont take their judgement, and that she doesnt want everyone turning against each other and just hating on each other, like living peace. And with that said, she wonders how we live in peace with all theh judgement and arguements and when she said "Well now that your gone, the world is ours" I think she means when the judgements gone, or when people stop caring, the world is your own. Its yours to take over, and yours to be yourself and strong. I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in meBut I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preachingCall me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victimsThey're getting stronger, I hear them callingI think its either herself acting like others because deny this, but she is also claiming that she is human, and normal and for proof she has a bone structure and bones. She is saying she is not the problem, even if she runs around and does her own stuff, even if that's what you call a rebel, its who she is. I dont know what she means by collecting your victims, but I think maybe she is trying to help those

Psychopaths can be decent but these people are sardistically evil. Constantly playing the victim. They guilt people to make them feel worthless and suicidal. They lie and are extremely negative and paint a version of what they convey as the truth to guilt their victims they want to fail. They brainwash everyone around them and are never who they appear to be. They are a trickster and can easily pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. They’ve been a monster their whole life and have the whole world tricked and deceived. Not only a monster but the mother fucking devil. Finally got sick of her attacking my soul and dignity and put her into place. Since then I’ll continue to placate her.

"You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like waterWe started drowning, not like we'd sink any furtherBut I let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottomBut I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen"here she is talking about her depression of the ruined world. 'we started drowning, not like we'd sing any further' the world is at its lowest. 'but ill get a new one and come back for the hope you've stolen' basically this talks about the survival of the human species. we will come back and take what is ours (the earth)"I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole worldFrom turning into a monster and eating us aliveDon't you ever wonder how we survive? Well now that your gone, the world is ours"the chorus is very interesting. here she is stating she will save the world and save humans from extinction. 'well now that your gone, the world is ours"perhaps the world is saved? "I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in meBut I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preachingCall me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victimsThey're getting stronger, I hear them calling"here they are perhaps talking about someone betraying or maybe a mad scientist in some scheme. they call me a traitor, im just collecting your victims.

Psilocybin, aka magic mushrooms, is a powerful hallucinogen, and if you've ever done that or LSD, you may have experience how the drugs have a way of either being your own personal circus show, or the slaver of your consciousness; sometimes both at the same time, as you experience indescribable head-trip. By design, it's an illusion instilled into your brain and being; thus the "I'm a psilocybin pony" line. But at the same time, it's just a show, an illusion to our known reality, thus, the response is the insightful take on the experience: 'You're a flick fandango phony". You're full of malarkie. Take that. I see this song as a take on a psychedelic trip that is far removed from the hippie groove, but no less powerful or less meaningful. It is, as I see it, wizard Ric's take on the psychedelic realm beyond mere being ... here in reality, where awesome Cars songs exist.

I can even see it being sung in the third person by someone who puts themselves in the role of Joanne because they are giving up on themselves or running away from something and need a boost in self-worth. It's poignant all these ways.

The voice seems to say that now s/he is so sad that s/he is not living anymore, but even so the sadness will keep on. And the cause of the sadness is something or some body who came to drown her/him "in the mud". It is like a Samuel Beckett work.

Yes we all know its a great song, great lyrics etc, but we all would like to know WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. i for one also do not have a scooby? If anyone could shed some light on it it would be most appreciated. rufstufon August 16, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Before you kill us all!	0EH41J9Yur5x0FNv	3530822107858510978	For some reason I kinda always thought this song had a strong political stance, or too be specific the Berlin wall/East Germany during the Cold War. Examples: 'Step on it, Electronic' The death strip were people ran to get to the wall, there were electronic trip wires that set off flares to spot escapies so they could be easily 'stopped'The obvious ones are 'we got are backs to the wall' and 'your gonna kill us all'...Also the title 'Lost souls forever' could refer to the idea of skilled workers going to no use in the communist society they lived in were they could have prospered in the western secotrs, therefore they are lost souls. I also thought 'Messiah for the animals' may have been him putting himself in the position of someone planning an escape with others, ie. they're 'animals' trapped in Berlin. Admittedly the second verse doesn't really fit into the whole of my idea and sways more towards the whole music is a drug thing, so perhaps it's abit of both?

Probably from a pessimist to an optimist. He's looking at life in a new light and is beginning to understand that worrying is pointless as life is unpredictable. And he's asking the people who have known the old him to "really" look at the new him. A better person, who can help others. But, that's just how I see this song.
Hey you, talking sideways I know you better than that Got nothing to prove So we've got nothing to loose When the sand sinks straight to the bottom And you forget that I dont have all the answers It's now or its never This plane won't wait forever You see me, I'm laughing It's not for, It's not for Fun It's not for fun It's not for fun And it feels like both boats are sinking And I've got one foot in each Should I abandon the plan? Would any man understand? And would I even make land if I swam?

In the garden, in the park, on a bench, I sit. A newspaper floats on the breeze of this late summer. It is coming my way, I patiently wait. I see the sign, it's on the road and I think it's crazy In the garden, of the park, on a bench, I watch. The sandy feet of the children. Pearls of sweat run across their beautiful faces. You see the sign, it's on the road but I think you're crazy You are, you are the sign of my unrelief As I easily get inner contact with myself, I notice distress grabbing for my throat. It is time to reach out. To find something that isn't there, You see the signs, they're on the road but I think it's crazy You are, you are the sign of my unrelief	0ErgkGndml1Pd5l1	73327	I think it's about knowing everything in the world, even the world, and the meaning of life, and how you are waiting for it, because if you tried to look, you wouldn't be able to find it, because it's so elusive. Everybody else is either beautifully ignorant (children playing in the park) or the adults (too focused on what the strict rules say [the sign on the road]). This person is part of neither group and can't relate to others and gets frustrated at their ignorance, specifically the ignorant adults. The person then realizes that the reason for their distress is that the meaning of life, which could obviously not be there, needs to be searched for, even though it might not be there. You can't just sit and wait for it. So there's your typical extremely metaphorical and deep The Gathering song for you.

I had a couple of things lying around that were too quiet to be Monkeys tunes — well, that’s what I thought, anyway. So I said, what about these and Richard [Ayoade] liked them. But then we were putting this together and I really thought it might fit in with 'Thunderstorms’ and 'Suck It And See’. So we thought why not just do another version [recorded with the full band] because the one on Submarine is just me and James, he played drums and there’s some strings and stuff on it.

"I etched a face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop,And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass"flipping over the hourglass signals the end of the relationship and the beginning of a new period of his life. "I heard an unhappy ending, it sort of sounds like you leaving"The split was not amicable and there was a loud argument"I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning"the morning after the breakup, he's woken up by the sound of pile driver construction machines outside his house. Normally this would be an annoyance, but he's in such a good mood that it sounds like a waltz to him. "You look like you've been for breakfastAt the Heartbreak HotelAnd sat in the back boothBy the pamphlets and the literatureOn how to lose"After the breakup, his ex is acting sad in an over-the-top way to try to guilt him into coming back. "Your waitress was miserableAnd so was your food"He's calling her out for only concentrating on the bad things, probably like she did during their relationship. "If you're gonna try and walk on waterMake sure you wear your comfortable shoes"She can act like a martyr (like Jesus walking on water) all she wants, he doesn't care and won't get back together with her. "Mystery's flashing amberGo green when you answer"Green, amber represent the lights on a stoplight.

"...She came and substituted the peace and quiet for Acrobatic blood flow…"Boy senses that she is withholding secrets,just like himself and everyone else on the World. "…She's thunderstorms, lying on her front, up against the wall...""…When you're feeling far away, she does what the night does to the day…"Like in a thunderstorm, Boy wonders whether the future with this new love can survive this cruel, judging world. But ultimately he chooses to "Suck It And See"02 - "Black Treacle"Girl introduces Boy to her secret vice. Marijuana. He has never experienced it before but because he loves Girl, he trusts her. "….And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabriolet, One of those games you're going to lose, But you want to play it just in case"Their relationship blossoms but he still asks questions about her fix, which has become his fix. "…Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate? Does it tune you in when you chew your chin? Am I ruining your fun?" "…More like Black Treacle, than Tar…"She proves that she can still be a strong woman and maintain a healthy social life while still smoking recreationally.

She was pure, free and full of vitality. Her virginial state was as much of an allure as her beauty. But from the moment they lay together, that part of her was gone. On the second day, he's already realised that the previous day, when they were together, is never going to be surpassed. Anything alse will seem cheap next to that. She'll get older, her innocence is fading, they will argue etc. So he invites her down to the river. Then, to preserve her integrity and his memories, he slays her on the third day. That's why all beauty must die - if you've achieved perfection, what is left to live for? Ramsbottomon October 14, 2007 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

Which is the great thing about Nick Cave - he begins the song having the listener think it's a mushy ballad with lyrics straight from a romance novel ("From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one," "My trembling subsided in his sure embrace") and it ends with him killing her. Genius! If I had to be critical, I would say that the chorus could have been changed. I understand he's going for a "Gaelic tale" effect here, but it sounds so awkward and redundant. I love that "wind light as a thief" line. That is such an unexpected simile, I think. zeiton March 04, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

The music and the way it's performed is just so beautiful but the lyrics are absolutely terrifying. Is there anyone who knows if there's a tale, myth or true story behind the lyrics.

Anyway, I think the firstverse sheds light on the notion of the murderer killing in order to preserve beauty:From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one[As early as the first ambigous line of the verse, Nick Cave introduces the motive of killing in order to preserve the image of beauty for eternity. In particular, he subverts the notion of 'the one' i.e. the one person with whom you spend the rest of your life with, by tying it in with the killers' predeliction for murdering beautiful women and selection of a victim.] She stared in my eyes and smiledFor her lips were the colour of the rosesThat grew down the river, all bloody and wild[The comparison of her lips to bloody roses growing by the river bank is a premonition of what is to follow with the victim's murder.] Also, in the third verse, the rose metaphor is tied into the notion of a flower representing female chastity:On the second day he came with a single red roseSaid: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"I nodded my head, as I lay on the bedHe said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

They call me the Wild Rose, But my name was Elisa Day; Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day On the third day he took me to the river He showed me the roses, and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered word, As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief As I kissed her goodbye, said: "All beauty must die", And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth They call me the Wild Rose, But my name was Elisa Day; Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day	0FBYAHnVYyF7w6Vm	66405	I always thought the line was "When light as a thief, I kissed her goodbye, and said" etc. "The wind" fits much better. This song does have a very gaelic ballad feel to it, and no matter how many times I listen to it I'm always sort of taken by surprise when it goes from romantic mush about kissing and she is the one to him being above her about to brain her with a rock. This song is very beautiful, I think the darkness of it makes it far better, this song couldnt have been as emotive if it wasnt a murder balladBeltaneon May 10, 2005 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

She must've been an unidentified body, and in the after life she is trying to reach out to them to tell them her name. Disgusting, but beautiful. toughguybambinoon June 17, 2006 Link2 Replies Log in to replyThere was an error. @toughguybambinoYeah I think that makes sense, about the unidentified body. brainisinthedirton March 19, 2009oh my god this song is so creepy! it has such a haunting and ominous feel ! !

It's a song about, as most of you stated, a murder, and the taboo subject of necrophilia. It's a great song. It's pretty wild; no pun intended. itsbobtistaon December 28, 2006 LinkNo Replies Log in to replyThere was an error.

And wouldn't this contradict the notion that "all beauty must die" (not in a literal sense, of course) sinse the act of murder allows beauty to live forever?

Perhaps being found physically attractive by most everyone has led to a confusion in identity between "The Wild Rose" and "Elisa Day." The murderer is taking the idea of the "Wild Rose" to an extreme and killing her without thought for "Elisa Day"I dunno, classic song though.
