| Regina Spektor – Carbon Monoxide Lyrics | 20 years ago |

"Soon we’ll go to sleep No one will notice we’re gone Cause we don’t have a job to keep They’ll just say that we’re being lazy Sex crazed, sex cra-zed, hazy They’ll just say we’re living our whole life in bed And we’ll be in bed but we’ll be oh so very much Dead-a, dead-a, dead-a, dead-a, dead-a, dead-a, d-dead." this makes the song very clear to me. it is about suicide, no doubt. but i believe it's not about the suicide of a family or anything like that. more of a song about killing yourself with the person you love - your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife.. the part where they say "they'll just say that we're being lazy. sex crazed, sex crazed.. hazy." it seems to me like nobody believes that they're really in love, more that they're just in lust. it's a very melancholy song, but beautiful nonetheless. |
