| Camera Obscura – I Don't Want to See You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I actually think this could be about a girl getting a breast reduction... "I stole a magazine from the laundry mat The posters in the back they were breaking my back And all I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs My silent heart agrees I have done my best" There's always posters in the back of magazines for surgery - granted they're usually for an increase rather than a decrease in bust size, but still. Or maybe she's looking at ads for boob jobs and wondering how anyone could want massive breasts when she struggles so much with hers - they break her back and lugging them around makes her legs weary. Her silent heart agrees that she has done her best to live with it but she's reached breaking point now "I'll get my operation on the NHS Will it cure my blushes will it bring on by the past 'Cuz someone said I was a woman pretending to be a girl And I will make no comments as a I hide myself" She's been granted a reduction on the NHS as the size of her bust causes her physical and mental trauma. She remembers when she was younger and she used to be so embarrassed at being so well developed - people would say that she was a woman pretending to be a girl as she was so young but her breasts were so large, she'd say nothing and just try to hide her chest I don't know, it seems far fetched but it makes sense in accordance to the lyrics, right? |

| The Long Blondes – Once and Never Again Lyrics | 19 years ago |

In my opinion it is about an older girl giving a younger girl advise. I don't think it's about lesbianism and i don't think it's from a male perspective. The see the line 'I will cut my hair for you' as the older girl being very sympathetic, she's saying 'look, if i was a boy i'd prove to you that relationships don't have to be like this', she's just trying to make the 19 year old girl feel better and understand that this guy is a jerk. The line 'How i'd love to feel a girl your age' is quite confusing, and i can understand why people get lesbian ideas from this but i think she just means she want to feel LIKE a girl of 19 again (even though the line doesn't say this), but just for a second, maybe jusy for a day I'm not quite sure, but this is what i get from the lyrics. |
