Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics | 21 years ago |
I think this song is about how alcohol is luring him in. The alcohol is telling him to keep drinking and it'll make him feel better. He goes from bar to bar every night to drink, thus "where I'm seeing you there". It also can be a metaphor for the trap of the routine of always drinking, like a cell. It's like a love/hate song about alcohol. |
