YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT. Don't take it so literally! Alt-J is a highly poetic band. They never go out and say it. This isn't about necrophilia OR drugs. Think about it, it's about a relationship gone completely sour. It has gone completely monotonous and she is desperately wanting to leave him. The sad part is that he is completely in love with her. Her love (probably sex) is his complete addiction. He needs this girl. He compares himself to an animal, a wild thing. He knows that he is sucking the life out of her (this is where you think it is about cannibalism) but he'd rather have her lifeless (not literally) and miserable than lose her. It's a dark way of looking at a failing relationship. She may contain the urge to run away --- (she wants to leave.) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks --- (he's tying her down in the relationship, breeze blocks are like bricks) Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again --- (here he is comparing her to a drug, citrezene is a drug for fevers, "she keeps him numb") Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la --- (she continues to turn him down) Do you know where the wilds things go --- (he is calling himself an animal, perhaps a bear or something fierce) They go along to take your honey,la la la la --- (her he is taking the "bee's honey", her happiness) Break down now weep build up breakfast now --- (she always cries, but he doesn't care) Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la --- ("there's nothing wrong, stop crying. by continuing to eat breakfast, he proves to himself that nothing is wrong) Muscle to muscle and toe to toe --- (all through his body...) The fear has gripped me but here I go ---- (the fear of losing her is suring through him) My heart sinks as I jump up --- (he tries to be happy, or atleast show it but he knows it's all wrong) Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut --- (she's praying, while he sleeps) Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah Do you know where the wild things go They go along to take your honey, la la la la Break down let’s sleep build up breakfast now------ (repetition - monotony) Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots --- (the relationship is killing her) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still he holds her down in the relationship) She’s morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la --- (he's her drug, she numbs him from the world, morphine is EXTREMELY addicting) Muscle to muscle and toe to toe The fear has gripped me but here I go My heart sinks as I jump up------------------- (repetition - the fear won't go away) Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah She may contain the urge to runaway ---- (she's begging to leave) But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks ---- (still holds on) Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love --- (he knows the scene of their relationship is greusome, he knows what a toll it's taking on her, yet he still loves her) But please don’t go I love you so my lovely Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so ---(self explanatory) Please break my heart, hey --- (he knows he's lost her love) Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole ---- (he desperately wants her to stay, but he knows that he will "eat her away", her love of life) I love you so, I love you, so I love you so Please don’t go I’ll eat you whole I love you so, I love you so, I love you so, I love you so |

I think that your interpretation is dead on. However, for the first line... if it really is a divorce, I think "We can’t lose touch but we can let go, blue and white gun made from Lego" might mean that they have a child. They can let go of the love and marriage, but they can't completely forget eachother because they have this connection. Kids play with legos, perhaps he sees a lego gun and it reminds him of the harshness of the whole divorce. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Expo '86 Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I really think that this song is about is not about a new relationship or about an old one. I think it's about a current one. The way I understand it, this guy is in a relationship and they've gotten into a slump. He's bored. They always fight and make up, perhaps the sex has gotten boring. However, he feels that if he leaves and tries to find someone else, he won't be loved. He'll "lose". So instead of leaving, he stays and waits for anything to change. For things to get so bad that SHE "kills" the relationship or that there is something interesting. He needs a reason to leave and something to feel like it's a sad ending. "I am waiting for something to wrong I am waiting for familiar resolve I am waiting for another repeat Another diet fed by crippling defeat And I am waiting for that sense of relief I am waiting for you to flee the scene As if you held in your hand the smoking gun And on the floor lay the one you said you loved" Near the end, I think he is realizing that every relationship is like this. He doesn't even care anymore. "They are basically the same So I don't ask names anymore" -------------- Or maybe I'm biased because that is exactly how I am in my current relationship. We've been together too long and somehow we've changed from "lovers to friends" |

The song is pretty self explanatory. The couple is together out of need, not out of love. They are each other's "rebounds" and they both know and accept it. They are together just to try to fill the void but it's not working: "Cos you don’t taste like you should, And you don’t fit in my arms like she would. Lying in the dark, it’s understood: We are both lost." Unicorns are meant to be pure, perfection, magic. They both accepted their own chance at true love is over. "And we’ll sit on our single beds, Nothing on our hearts and tears on our threads, For we know the last unicorn is dead." |
