| The Postal Service – We Will Become Silhouettes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| There is no doubt in my mind that this song is about a fight with a girlfriend/significant other. This bomb shelter is a metaphor for hiding from someone he is mad at. He plans to be stubborn and not go make up with them, hence all the extra supplies but it is still the only thing he can think about, the 'pictures of you'. Also when you get angry sometimes you just have to scream, and in this state it can seem like you are almost a different person, taken over by rage hence the 'someone i used to know' either that or he is pretending to play a fight out with the other person pretending that the echos of his voice is the other person yelling back. Then he talks about how he wants to leave and 'feel something constant' under his feet. This means he wants everything back to normal, he wants it all to end, but he knows that the fight is still going on, 'the news report....'. When he is talking about the air out doors he is talking about the atmosphere of a fight, and these angry atmospheres are almost dangerous because they make you just want to explode at the world, which is the next part of the song. And then he says "And it wont be a pretty sight'. The word choice here definitely reaffirms to me that it is not a bombing because it so casual. It's not going to be pretty once they are yelling and screaming at each other. | |

My favorite part is her describing the urge to want to slap someone "The urge to feel your face, and blood rushing to paint my handprint." |

It's about a stalker no question. "Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing. Got lucky, beautiful shot; you're taking everything off, watch the curtains wide open. Then you fall in the same routine, flicking through the TV, relaxed and reclining, And you think you're alone..." Taking pictures of him/her in the window following the person home when they cant hear because they are wearing head phones and its regular because this stalker knows that the persons routine is to flip through tv channels at night and then the really funny and yet really creepy line "and you think you're alone" Then in the first two lines "Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner cafe" This person is daydreaming about having sex with the other on at a cafe. Ironically making their love private even though this persons love for the one they are stalking is completely secret. then in the bridge she says "You'll sleep here, I'll sleep there, But then the heating may be down again, At my convenience." What this means is that to start they would sleep in separate place because thats decent. But if the heating is broken, it will get too cold to sleep separately so they would have to sleep in the same bed to stay warm. Or at least thats what she is hoping for. Also in the chorus it says "Why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you. " This is funny because the stalker is blaming the stalkee for being stalked because they are just so cute. And then they say "Its impossible to ignore you" which is an understatement, not only is this person paying attention to the person they are infatuated by but they are also stalking the crap out of them This is a completely disillusioned stalker as most stalkers are. All in all creepiest song ever. But I can't stop listening to it. |
