| Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton – The Lottery Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Well if Emily said it was a "nostalgia song" then maybe the line when it says
"When our underwire radio tears into their international airwaves,
Boredom will die, ears will bleed
And all they'll desire is to give, and to please..."
shes talking about music that is completly original and not based on some idealist look at the past. And maybe the begining of the song which is talking about the 60's is refering Decade nostalgia.... peoples longing and having an idealistic look at a certian decade.
I'm not sure thats just my interpertaion of the song from a nostalgia point of view. |

Actually its not a gender-based thing its a structual thing. I read that Emily Haines had said (regarding this song), "What I realized is that I need a wife, and I'm not a lesbian"... This song is about the fact that she has realized why "men need wifes" and "why people need maids". The structure. She talks about this song in the following article, http://www.emilyhaines.com/press/060801_radar.pdf |

I think this song has a lot of meaning involving teenagers. I think it talks about how teenagers have no say in they're life, rules and guidlines are set for them to follow by parents and teachers. They are told what to do...... Second I think it talks about friendships and growing apart as you change and get older.... Third I think it talks about the awkwardness and fear developed when you relize that you are almost an adult and that you will soon be the only person in control of ur own life...... And lastly I think it might have something to do with teenagers feeling like they are just rusting and not doin anything important, they don't get to do what they want and they are always doing the same thing over and over.... almost giving them a feeling of being confined and claustrophobic. As for the title, I would think almost ever teenager goes through this and that it is more difficult for girl then guys. |

I love the line, "Need is always pending on how much you can get"
I think that is really true in our world today. People are so materialistic. Human beings are the only species that take more then they need to survive. There is more then enough resources for the entire world, but yet 3/4 of the population is in poverty. |

I think the line "children sleep with dicks" is sorta of a metaphor that even in the most innocent things there is evil. I think this because society views children as being completly innocent and they think of the sexual parts of the body as being evil and sinful. everyone thinks as evil and good being two completly different things, but in truth they are part of each other. hence the line "Children sleep with dicks" |
