upbeat as this song first strikes you, by tying it to the words of the woman at the end I feel it takes on a darker note. To me the flippancy hides darker currents of fear and pain. Mika's music is a kalidoscope of primary colours. It seems simple and happy and full of energy but i wonder if the meaning behind the lyrics doesnt hold a more sinister note, as though the ecstatic joy is a brave face? To me this song may well be about lovers - or people that love platonically. It is about fidelity, facing the dark times together and in veiw of Lebanon I would say that the dark times are experienced as externally threatening forces rather than something integral with the relationship. There is death in this song and fear and a desperation, it is desperately upbeat, desperately aspiring to the impossible, the ability to relax in such a situation and environment. The characters are mutually urging each other, attempting to comfort and reassure each other, despite their own, shared, inner terror. This song is about being strong and putting on a brave light hearted face for your loved ones, those you are trying to protect, appearing happy and confident to give heart to others.when in reality it is an emotion far from which any of you are actually experiencing. I believe there is a false brightness to this song.
