So we all now what this song means, I've made a vow never to try out coke in my life, ever. Especially because George sorta dedicated this song to me and my friend at their first concert in Sydney, heh heh. |

Ironic how some of you are (almost) arguing about what genre Alexisonfire falls in when this song clearly advocates the pure unadulterated appreciation of music, or other aspects if life. So yeah, live and let live. Cheers :D |

I think this is one of Alexis' most underrated songs, it's great. To me, it's about being overwhelmed with love as the apocalypse befalls the world. Um, yeah. |

Whoa that Hilly2005 dude has some issues. Practically every comment he's posted on this site is full of negativity. Take a chill pill.
To me this song is about suspension - between time (tomorrow, today), space (this world, the digital), what is real and what is dreamscape. The way Damon sings it plus the music makes me feel like I'm floating on some cloud off to a planet of space monkeys and huge fuzzy gorillaz and purple flowers. And I swear I'm not high as I'm typing this. (: Cheers. |

This song reminds me of Eugene O'Neill's play Long Day's Journey into Night.
Firstly, the mention of "hotel rooms" in the first line. The family of Tyrones in the play often speak of their rootlessness, living in hotel rooms and temporary summer houses instead of having a proper home to return to, thus the overarching feelings of loneliness and displacement.
The mention of "hands" and "fragile hands" could be a reference to Mary Tyrone, whose addiction to morphine cause her to be insecure, and her arms are often seen shaking throughout the play due to the effects of the drug.
"I thought you said forever over and over" - In O'Neill's play, the character Edmund enjoys reading and quoting from Nietzsche. This line in the song probably alludes to Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, where he writes "But the knot of causation recurreth, in the which I am intertwined - it will re-create me! I myself am amongst the causes of eternal recurrence." Basically, it's about the Nietzschean (sp?) belief that life is a never ending cycle, or in other words "forever, over and over".
I'm such a geek and I'm probably reading too much into the song, but I'm studying O'Neill for my literature class so the similarites just struck me. (: Cheers. |
