December

Like '#41', this song is meaningless on the surface but clearly conceals something profound. All I can think of is to do a point-by-point (much of which is obvious): "All my tears will dry away": this unhappiness will be over "Words don't bother me no more" "Black money" suggests ill-gotten gains to me, and "falling to the floor" release thereof. "Flags out on the balcony" probably symbolizes something in reality. "Oh my mind/ What happened to the time": what has changed?

"All my house got blown away": Something bad. "Stations in the neon light": ? "Your body strange as dynamite": Powerful, inexplicable effects of sexuality. "Killers underneath our skins": The 'inner beast'? "Black mirrors, black hyacinths": Powerful imagery, but ? "Oh my eyes/ What happened to the skies": As above.

Having gone through it like this, it actually doesn't sound like any other David Gray song I know of.
