| Regina Spektor – Lulliby Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think it's about someone who lives in a city and misses someone they were with and who has left them for whatever reason, so now they fell lonely. "Looking out the window At another window I see toenails changing colours Like the leaves of fall" This indicates they live in a city - instead of seeing trees changing colours, they see other houses and people who paint their toenails different colurs now and then. |

I agree with roostified. I think Daniel Cowman is still alive, but he was sentenced to die by hanging. That's what the third part is about. The "I don't exist" is from Daniel's point of view - he's still alive, but he's offically a dead man on the papers. For the world, he no longer exists after the court hearing, and he realizes this - "at precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing", that's when the sentence was declared. His own world is crashing down around him. He doesn't want to accept that he's so insignificant that the world will go on, even without him. So now he realizes he's officially a dead man, it doesn't mean he's free (as death practically is ultimate freedom) - he is put back into prison until the day of his hanging. That's what the second part is about. Now the part about heroin boy...I think he remembers another prisoner who was sentenced to die by hanging before him, called herion boy; his crimes probably had to do with dealing drugs or murder under influence of heroin, maybe that's why heroin boy was his nickname. He remembers how heroin boy came back from his court hearing and went insane: "and he was screaming and everybody was, like, what're you screaming as if it's the end of the world? and he was, like, well it is " For heroin boy, it actually is the ending of his world. The next part I don't fully understand....I think the "I" is Daniel Cowman speaking though. Maybe he's dreaming of getting out of prison and what he would see there - balloons, things working out fine for people, women. I dunno. Maybe he's having hallucinations, cause that would explain the next part -- Heroin boy takes a bath and Daniel is afraid he will drown (hallucinations? I mean...it's not every day that someone drowns in the bathtub..), but heroin boy says he can't, and gives him the reasons. And Daniel Cowman remembers what heroin boy said, and like him, wants to take a last bath, cause a man sentenced to die by hanging can't drown. |
