Ok, I'm gonna have a go. I think this song is narrated by the guy in a relationship, but it centers around the girl and it’s her story. “Two sides twist and then collide” This is the girl thinking if she should let the guy actually have a close relationship with her. The two sides are two sides of her conscious. She knows she likes him, but she knows that she’ll ruin it. (I’ll explain later.) “You're calling off the guards, I'm coming through (Am I coming through...)” She starts something with him, and gives in. ”Adulteress conditioned to a spin cycled submission "You know sometimes it just feels better to give in" (Sometimes it just feels better to give in)” Ok, from the first line the “two sides twist and then collide” the reason she knows she’ll ruin it is because she’s done that with every other relationship and cheated. And she knows she’ll do it again. So ‘Adulteress conditioned to a spin cycled submission’ means a cheater who is already used to cheating (and is condemned) to do it again and again. And soon she gives up in her fight to stay faithful and sleeps with someone else [“Sometimes it just feels better to give in”]. [[[Also the “"You know sometimes it just feels better to give in" “ could be the guy she cheated with telling her that.]]] ”And it's all too familiar and it happens all the time. All the cards begin to stack up, Twisting heartache into fine little pieces that avoid an awful crime But it's you I can't deny.” It’s all too familiar that she cheated again, and while he is always faithful and completely trusts her, she doesn’t say a thing about the cheating incident. ”Dull heat rises from the sheets, I'm both a patient boy... (well) and a jealous man (Am I coming...) But double standardized suspicion is remedied, Oh My Blue Heaven "Sometimes it just feels better to give in..." (Sometimes it just feels better to give in)” When they’re together, whether it be in bed or just together, the “dull heat” is that spark, the chemistry, it’s gone. The only thing there now is tension. He knows there’s something wrong and he’s waiting for her to explain like a good boy, but he’s also pissed that she’s not telling her what’s wrong. (Both a patient boy… and a jealous man). His suspicion leaves when she finally breaks down and tells the truth. She cheated. ”And it's all too familiar and it happens all the time. All the cards begin to stack up, Twisting heartache into fine little pieces that avoid an awful crime But it's you I can't deny.” Now this time, the chorus means something else. Sorta. It’s not about her cheating, it’s about her saying it. She’s been through the whole after effects of it all. The usual fight, the explaining, the horrible feeling in your gut. But then he says it’s ok. He really loves her, and can’t deny that fact. ”We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing, "You're safe, child, you are safe" (You're safe, child, you are safe) You're safe, child, you are safe. We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing, "You're safe, child, you are safe" You're safe, child, you are.. Safe.. (Safe).. (Safe)... You are safe.. We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing "You're safe, child, you are safe" (Am I.. coming through)” This is their relationship afterwards. Swinging and swaying, recovering. But then it slowly starts getting better. Their safe, their relationship is safe. Everything’s going to be ok. ”Is this all too familiar? Does it happen all the time? I'm just asking you to hear me; Could you please just once just hear me? More than anything, you wanted to be right Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.. (You I can't deny) It's you I can't deny.” I am guessing that this is through the fight. When he says it’s ok, she’s shocked. “Are you really ok with this? Is it because you’ve been cheated on before?” [”Is this all too familiar? Does it happen all the time?] She wants him to be angrier. Not so accepting. She wants the guilt. [“I'm just asking you to hear me; Could you please just once just hear me?”] He assures her that they’ll get through this, and that they’ll be happy. [More than anything, you wanted to be right | Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.. (You I can't deny) It's you I can't deny.”] I know it’s a little scattered at the end, and I know it’s kinda long, but I tried, and this would be my first organized translation of a song, ^__^; So thanks if you actually read through all of this, :3 Anyone know what "My Blue Heaven" could refer to? I thought of the sky, but I don't see how that fits, heh, >__>' This is also their next single!! Yay! (or says Billboard.com…) (TBS concert tomorrow!!! :DD) |
