This is such a ridiculously powerful song. If you haven't, you should see them perform it live...it's incredible. It really...shakes you. I'd love to hear more input about the opening story. The reptilians, that's another term for the Illuminati, correct? |

| I just can't see any possible way that this song would actually be meant to be about hospitalization. It's pretty obvious that that's what is being literally described, but it obviously holds deeper meaning than that. | |

| Feist – My Moon My Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Seriously, you guys? I won't even address the nonsense. I can only see two directions this could go. Maybe she is not talking about a relationship at all, but she is just talking about herself, the world, passage of time. "My moon, my man", maybe she's just talking to the moon, personifying it. Either that or she could be comparing her man to the moon, because he is going through a lot of changes. She wants either the world or her man to take it easy on her. |

I've gone through a bunch of live performances for comparison. Here is a very clear live in-studio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLRz1KKx524 100% without a doubt, it is "head is lead" and "later on the bed". I hope this can eliminate any doubt. |

I am a pretty big fan of Feist's "usual" sound...but I was very intrigued when I first heard this song. The sound is so hypnotic and sexy, it really catches the attention...and her voice is incredible as usual, of course. |

| Tegan and Sara – Wrists Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
what I'm seeing it as..she's talking about a relationship..as usual ;) I see the wrists as just..strength. "Oh, my wrists are weak But if I could lift your body- out of a crash of the waves, out of bed or onto me" I see this like the speaker(A) sees that the other girl (B) is struggling. she sees a problem, a wave, about to hit her, and is hoping that she's strong enough to pull her out of it and into her protection (onto me). "Working too hard gets me acting like a letter" when I think of a letter I see it compared to speaking to someone in person or even on the phone..in comparison it's a little bit colder and more formal..less personal. so she's busy and working hard and is acting cold and impersonal. "So, before you tell me you're not worth the worry" so, compared to the way A is acting, B is worth the worry, or effort. "Hurry, hurry, hurry. I like to hurry when I'm wanting you. Hurry, hurry, hurry." I'm not entirely sure about this part..when I hear "wanting you" I first think of sex, but then I think of just..wanting to be with someone. I lean more towards the latter in this case. maybe she's saying that she wants to get through the problem quickly? I'm really not sure. "Make me go without a word, Get so crazy when you shut up." they're fighting, and B won't talk to A. "Wake up in a panic, Room is dark - you know this body. Could be this way with almost just any body, So put me next to the window; put me next to the light." A wakes up panicking and in the dark..both literally and metaphorically. she's been shut out by B. she acknowledges that she could be with just about anybody, but she wants it to work, so she wants B to bring her back into the light, let her back into her mind. "Don't judge a book by the size of its wrists." A is saying not to judge her by how strong she looks or acts, because on the inside she's a lot stronger than it appears. "Are you undecided?" she's asking if B is going to open up to her and work on their problems or not. "Oh my ego's weak So thought if I could lift your body And wake up out of air; The night's too short, You're onto me." she's feeling weak. she still hopes to save B from the inevitable issue she's about to face, but she's growing exhausted (running out of air and not getting enough rest to regain her strength). not sure about "You're onto me.." "Why am I always acting timid and too careful?" A is wondering why she acts so weak and isn't fully confronting B about their issue "Please, before I tell you I'm not worth the worry - Hurry." she's starting to need B to put out more effort. "Oh, my wrists are weak, I carry weight like a shadow." she's weak and trying to carry the weight of their problems on her own in the dark- shut out from B and without actually confronting her. sorry if my interpretation is a little bit sloppy, I'm pretty tired xD |

just want to add.. "I promise I won't linger long I promise I won't push my face up against your clothes I won't linger long I promise I won't push my face up against your clothes Or the stupid sheets" is actually "I promise I won't linger long I promise I won't push my face up against your clothes I won't linger long **I won't push my face up against your clothes** Or the stupid sheets" |

I think he's saying that he knows he isn't the best thing out there and other people don't really like him, but she came into his life and loved him and saw only the good in him..and is also saying what an amazing person she is, as in "O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all They tell themselves that each word from your lips Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall", etc... I love it..I can definitely relate. |

| Tegan and Sara – Wrists Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I don't mean to be a grammar nazi, but this is driving me crazy and will continue to drive me crazy unless it's fixed xD ocd attaaaack.. the proper posessive of "it" is "its", not "it's". "it's" is the contraction of "it is", and only that. ( and if you don't believe me, just look it up in the dictionary ;) ) anyway...back to business hahaha I'm truly sorry |

I never did like this song..at one point I was so annoyed by it that I removed it from my ipod, and that's saying something because I keep EVERYTHING on there since it has a million times the amount of space I need..xD the only tegan and sara song this has ever happened to me with. |

I always loved how she's describing herself and pauses after she says "short"...hahaha she probably didn't do that on purpose but I still think it's funny xD (for those who don't know, tegan and sara are very short) |
