Ok, here's my interpretation of COTE. This is my first post so be gentle. This song seems to be about someone who was the Centre of the Earth to Ian (it's my understanding this song was penned by him). Obviously one would assume that this person was someone who meant the world to him and unfortunately didn't feel the same way in return. I'm sure most of us have been in a similar situation with a special someone. The biggest indicator for this I feel are the lines "Single word, single vowel, yet nothing frustrates me" which shows that despite receiving single word, single vowel responses from this special someone, it does not frustrate him as his feelings are so strong. Also, another example of his feelings and the lack of the other person's can be seen in "Now I don't think you like me now Now I don't think you let me now" and "Now I don't think you like me now Now I don't think you're like me now" which obviously show the his feelings aren't reciprocated. Of course the entire song seems to be about this one sided relationship and what this person means to Ian. The heartfelt vocals reflect this. COTE is such a beautiful deep meaning song which is very close to me and I'm sure to many others. This hasn't been a strict analysis or in depth essay, just how I've interpreted the song. (keeping in mind it's been a while since I've done high school English or the likes). |
