Metric – Hustle Rose Lyrics 21 years ago
This is a beautiful song. I'd like to point out that it is the man who is asking "why wouldnt i stand in line tonight?" I think the song is about a man who feels like his dreams are lost and who can no longer feel the things around him so he is asking why wouldn't he just go to a prostitute and give in to this emotionless lifestyle. The line "why wouldnt i stand in line tonight?" is a reference to the line of Johns waiting for the hooker. If he's one man in a line he is nothing special it is emotionless. Finally he says that if he starts to feel anything he is woken up by her either metaphorically or literally and told to leave also either metaphorically or literally.
