| Brand New – Not the Sun Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
i know it is probably not perfect (some of the background lyrics do not really follow the theme of the song) but I think the these are the lyrics toward the end. To be my babe, (We were so nieve), to be my babe (we died faster) To be my babe, (We'll have our harmonies), to be my babe (It was a quick slaughter) To be my babe, (And would you want me), to be my babe (for the millionth ...), To be my babe (time and time again), to be my babe (what cha gona do?) Be my serene (Turn me on) Tell me you know what I mean (Lead me on) You've set on me but you are not the sun And you will not listen (How do I know who I am?) (Burn it down) Outside your cold lips again (Come around) You've set on me but you are not the sun You will not listen ... let me know what you think |

I have thought about this song since I posted my question and have come up with an idea as to what the last two lines mean. "So this is your maverick And this is Vienna" I do not agree with morgan macd that the person being left behind is the maverick but instead the singer/narrator is the maverick. saying this is YOUR maverick makes me think she liked that he is a maverick and this is th outcome of that (kinda weak I know). And this is vienna! That is a bit easier in my opinion. When I think of vienna I think of a beautiful city with everything that you could want (culture, life, and so on); but the city is sinking into oblivion. He is saying that the relationship is like vienna. It seems perfect and perhaps is but for some reason the relationship is sinking like vienna will be no more. Tell me what you think |

What do the last two lines mean? "So this is your maverick And this is Vienna" Is this just a reference to distance? |

I think this is an emotion that will happen after the emotions in "Goodbye My Lover". In Goodbye My Lover he knows that she is gone but still loves her and although he is saying goodbye he knows there is still hope that it may oneday work out. This song is when you finally realize that it is over and it is time to admit that that part of your life will never come back and truely move on. |

Pretty easy actually. A song about the loss of 'the one' and although she has moved on he is still he (and always will be). He really knows its over but holds on the hope that it is not truely over. He still loves her and always will but he is left with nothing and is 'hollow'. |

I agree that the end of the song goes toward he was a cheater, however, the rest of the song can stand alone and be about anyone who has lost a love for any reason (cheating, mutual breakup, etc.). I have more detailed stuff below but I think that the main point of the song is that this is about a man who made a huge mistake and let 'the one' go; by the time he realized this, it was to late to make amends. Now he all he has is a furture of sorry and self torture. (first verse) This is a man (you could put a woman in this but the song obviously refers to a man) who has to start anew "Billy's leaving today". He is ashamed of the choices made "holds his head in disgrace". He realizes he has lost everying "knows the price he has paid". Maybe he made this bad choice out of fear of the futrue and now it is too late to explain "admits its to late to to admit that he's afraid". (Chours) This is basically about a the future "tomorrow comes" which holds nothing but pain and sorrow"sorrow becomes his soulmate". He can not change the past "the damage is done"and now it is too late "the prodigal son is too late" to find help; nothing, not even religion (often times a place people turn when it seems like there is nothing else), can help him. He can not go back to his lover "old doors are closed" although he tortures himself "always open to relive time in his mind" about what he could have done to fix this had he not waited too long. (Second verse) He is wiser than he was "got lines on his face" and knows the he must go through this "accepts his fate" and that it is too late to go back even though he knows he can now "he admits it to late that he was wrong" (they moved on) Basically, I think this is about a man that made a huge mistake and let 'the one' go and by the time he realized this, it was to late to make amends |

To me this song is about someone who feel like they have lost everything that was dear to them and feels the only way to deal with this pain is to run away from the problem "hiding their true shape". Although running from these problems may seem the way to keep the hurt away "keeping them from trouble", it doesn't solve the the problem and in fact make it impossible to solve. In the end you can put up this pretty picture (Dorian Grey) for the world to see but inside you are dead or dying, and nothing feels like it did before "all pleasures the same". |
