| Fall Out Boy – Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
to me this song is about a guy 'n a girl who are friends and they end up getting drunk one night, and probably fool around a little. thus the first stanza about drinking and then the metaphore dealing with burning down the bridge of their good friendship. "light a match to leave me be" - he knows she's going to go back to her boyfriend and leave him - plays into the fact that they're burning their friendship. my guess is that the girl probably has a boyfriend or something, so she wants to keep the boy a secret - "i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake." - because she was cheating on her boyfriend and perhaps regretted it. "nothing comes as easy as you" could either be saying that she's slutty, or that he feels so comfortable with her that being with her seems almost perfect. "and i keep my jealousy close, 'cause it's all mine." - he's jealousy of her boyfriend, because regardless of the circumstances, she still means a lot to him. "can i lay in your bed all day?" is just another example of how much she means to him, and how he would be content just to be with her. "and if you say this makes you happy, then im not the only one who is lying." - he knows that she's upset about they situation, just as he is, but both of them go on pretending that everything is okay and that they're happy. "so wear me like a locket around your throat. / i'll weigh you down; i'll watch you choke. / you look so good in blue." - the locket is her secret, and i thought of it being a longer necklace, so it would hang close to her heart - so she keeps this secret close to her heart. anyway, he knows that this is going to weigh on her but, probably because he's jealous and her, he'll watch her choke. the part about her looking good in blue might have to do with him liking to be there for her and comfort her, so he likes it when she's blue.... which is kinda sick. but that's just my take on it. finally, when he says "the hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday" - i think he's realizing his own failure due to his jealously and the fact that he would rather she her choking on her secret then content with her boyfriend. ... i might be completely off base, but that's what i got out of the song. |

this song is beautiful. metaphorically, it relates to life in the sense that we can be bound to something in such a way that it completely drains us, leaving us with nothing left to break free, or in the case of the lady in the song, kill her husband. the first verse of the song proves that she knows what she's doing is wrong [she's praying to Jesus] but she feels so entangled in the emptiness of her life, that she can't find another way to break free. by washing her hands, she clensing herself the the crime [kinda like when pilate sentanced Jesus to death?]. "but soon they'll be coming, to rush her away no one's so sure if her crime had a reason" these lines show how she's condemned w/o anyone "walking a mile in her shoes" so to speak. something that everyone can relate to in life i guess for me, the line that stuck out to me the most was... "you marry a role and you give up your soul til you break down " ... that line really makes you think about how a lot of times in life we set expectations for ourselves and often lose our souls trying to meet them. |
